New Delhi. The sacred occasion of Guru Purnima and the feeling of immense gratitude towards one’s Guru, both define the relationship of one of the most beautiful couples of Indian culture and sports, Sachin Tendulkar and Ramakant Achrekar sir. Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, shared a very emotional message on Guru Purnima this year, remembering his childhood coach and mentor late Ramakant Achrekar. Tendulkar said that no matter how many thanks are given to the man who molded him into a great cricketer and a mature human being, it always feels like ‘one more thank you’ is still left to be said.
When Achrekar sir was alive, for Sachin (Sachin Tendulkar) the day of Guru Purnima was not just a festival but like a ritual. Every year on this day, Sachin used to go to his guru’s house and bow his head at his feet and receive his blessings. Even after the departure of Achrekar sir, Sachin has not allowed this sacred tradition to be broken. In today’s digital age, when words often become formal, Sachin paid a heartfelt tribute to his mentor by writing a heart-touching post on social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).
Standing here today, I realized something. No matter how many years pass, I’ll always feel like I have one more ‘thank you’ left to say.
Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and helping me become the person I am.
