Meaning "slave" or "servant", Chelas are religious students or disciples; the apprentices to the Adepts.


Chelas are those who earnestly desire to work for the betterment of humankind. The Adepts impart teaching and wisdom otherwise unattainable, and help the Chelas by communion and inspiration.


In Hinduism the Chelas are the Gurus apprentices.
