The Light and The Way

"GURU"

The word Guru is the appropriate term used for teacher. Guru is someone more than a teacher. The two syllable Sanskrit word presents us an ocean of meaning. The syllable gu means darkness, the syllable ru, one who dispels that. Because of the power to remove darkness, the Guru is thus named.

The above mentioned one is just an introduction. The modern world seeks good teachers. A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love for learning. There have been a great number of changes in educational systems worldwide recently. There is no doubt that the modern society is not the same with an ancient one. A teacher is not merely a helper in difficult process of getting education but also a creative and highly talented “guide”, the one who enables a student in all way of learnings.
