We all talk about guru, some of us become disciple of someone whom they call as their Guru… So, What’s this guru.. In Sanskrit, “Gu” means darkness and “Ru” means light or sometimes dispelling. Anything that dispells your darkness or brightens your darkness with light is guru. It’s not necessary that Guru has to be a living human being who has to utter the Mantra in your ear. Guru can be anything or anyone, that connects the darkness inside with the brightness one aspires to see or feel.

And the journey of taking someone from the darkness to light or method of dispelling the darkness is also known as Guru Puja…
