Each of us has felt the need for a guru in our lives at some point. We’re not capable of doing everything on our own. We need someone more knowledgeable and intelligent to make our lives happier, enlightened, and more comfortable.

But Guru isn’t just physical form. It’s a tatva, an element of quality inside you, energy, a medium through which knowledge or gyana flows to the disciple. Guru is the mirror who will clearly show you your true self and help you elevate, but only if you are willing to rise. In fact, a guru literally carries his pupil on the journey of evolution. And he doesn’t do this to get anything in return. He just wants us to become better human beings. The best way to teach your child the importance of guru is by giving him a name meaning the same.
