Do not be confused by the role of a guru, they are not to be confused with gods or deities. A guru is more like a teacher or mentor. The term ‘guru’ comes from Sanskrit origin to mean a teacher with a very specialized knowledge, which provides more than simply teaching but includes mentorship, counseling, inspiration and an exemplary of life. Gurus are usually those who have, in a sense, traveled a spiritual journey to the point where they may lead other in their journey to self-awakening and spirituality. It can be said that what makes a guru, is someone who has realized his or her identity with a divine spirit.
