On the occasion of Teachers' Day, 5th September 2026, BRIC-Institute of Life Sciences (@bric_ils), Bhubaneswar, organized a special talk titled "Science and Spirituality: Guru Shishya Parampara and Science Research." The talk offered a thoughtful exploration of the timeless Guru-Shishya tradition and its deep resonance with the modern scientific journey — highlighting how the values of mentorship, discipline, and knowledge-sharing that have guided generations continue to shape the world of research today. The session encouraged our scientists and students alike to reflect on the special bond between a teacher and a learner — a relationship that lies at the very heart of scientific discovery and progress. BRIC-ILS extends its heartfelt gratitude to all teachers and mentors who inspire curiosity, nurture young minds, and light the path of learning. @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @Ddash_Debasis @DBTIndia @BricDbt
