The state or status of being a chela; the relationship between a spiritual teacher and their disciple.
From Sanskrit 'chela' combined with English suffix '-ship' (meaning state or condition). It blends Eastern and English word formation.
The concept of 'chelaship' represents a formal spiritual apprenticeship that can last a lifetime—some traditions say the guru-chela relationship continues even after death.
