Vandanamu — The student becomes the teacher
Endaro Mahānubhāvulu — salutations to all the great souls who came before.
“Endaro mahānubhāvulu, andariki vandanamulu. So many great souls walked this earth. To all of them, my salutations.”
The teacher
Why this stage now
The final stage Tyāgarāja modelled in his own life — Endaro Mahānubhāvulu — was gratitude. The śiṣya becomes a guru only by saluting every guru who came before.
