Guru (गुरु) –
“Gu” means darkness,
“Ru” means remover.
Thus, a Guru is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and lights the lamp of true knowledge.
He or she is not merely a teacher, but a guide, a mentor, a bridge between the finite and the infinite.
A traditional verse from the Guru Gita says:
“Gurur Brahmā Gurur Vishnuḥ Gurur Devo Maheśvaraḥ
Guruḥ Sākṣāt Parabrahma Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ”
The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Shiva;
The Guru is the Supreme Reality itself. To that Guru, I offer my reverence.
