Happy Teachers' Day 2020: Images, Wishes, Messages, Quotes, Pictures and Greeting Cards

“Guru Govind dono khade kake lagu paay. Balihari Guru aapki Govind diyo batay.” There is perhaps no better way to sum-up the entire glory of the word ‘teacher’ than this verse by Sant Kabir. The ancient Indian poet and saint has quite simply elucidated the larger-than-life role of our teachers and educators in our lives when he wrote the couplet to sing the glory of the Guru. From the moment we enter our classrooms for the very first time, a little hesitant and a little shy, to the very last time we walk out of our school gates, teachers remain our constant companions, guardians and mentors--all rolled into one.

Dear teacher, thank you for everything...

Whether you still remember your primary grade teacher fondly as she helped you grow into a more confident version of yourself or you are still completely in awe of your college professor, who gently nudged you to follow the life of your dreams--we all have some priceless memories associated with some of our absolutely favourite teachers.

While we may never be able to thank them enough for all the little and big life lessons they have taught us throughout our most formative years, Teachers' day presents us with the opportunity to at least remind our educators of their endless contribution in the life of their students.

"Teacher, without you, I would have been lost..."

Every year, Teachers' day is celebrated on the 5th of September in India to honour and celebrate the unflinching commitment of educators, mentors and teachers in bettering the lives of their students. Even during the pandemic scare, teachers can be seen going above and beyond to ensure that their students keep up with the syllabus and do not lag, no matter how testing the times get.

Share these heartfelt messages with your favourite teachers

A lot of senior teachers can be seen juggling with new technologies of virtual classrooms just so their pupils can continue their quest for learning. In our country, Teachers' day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who is an Indian philosopher and academic, who also served as the first Vice President and Second President of independent India.

As schools and colleges continue to remain shut during the pandemic, you can still make use of heartfelt wishes, messages, quotes, pictures and greeting cards to wish your favourite teacher. We are presenting you with our chosen collection of beautiful greeting cards and deeply moving messages that you can send to all your teachers! Happy Teachers' Day!

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher." - Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
