saidevo sairam. • Every Hindu is taught in early life, about the four first-known gods:

mAatru devo bhava | pitru devo bhava | AchArya devo bhava | atithi devo bhava ||
--taittirIya upaniShad 1.11.3

This veda-vAkya prescribes that a Hindu should adore his/her mother, father and guru as gods, and serve a guest considering the person as a god. acharya vaatsaayana has written,pathni devo bhava pathi devo bhava,in grihastha ashrama chapter.the best part is,acharyal was a celibate aka brahmachari.just a little tidbit of info i gathered.
