Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but he or she must have a certain area of expertise. It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn. Mentorship experience and relationship structure affect the “amount of psychosocial support, career guidance, role modeling, and communication that occurs in the mentoring relationships in which the protégés and mentors engaged.”
Mentoring in Europe has existed since ancient times at least in Greece in Europe and since the Vedic times in India. In India we call them ‘Guru’ and Gurvi’ for male/female.
The primary Guru of this course and our living parampara tradition is Pandit Sanjay Rath. Sanjay ji originally created and taught this course in the Himalayas, and all of his original class materials and recordings are all contained here on this site. For this 2023 batch, his students Freedom Cole and Dr Eric Rosenbush will be mentoring the course, providing regular supplementary lectures and clarifying questions. Sanjay ji will give occasional lectures as well.
