Jasmine, exactly a "guru" is a teacher, or as some suggest a person who "leads others into a learning." I think of a guru as someone who helps other discover new ideas. <G>

Hi Tanisha! Your understanding of the term "guru" is correct. In the Hindu religion, a guru is indeed considered a teacher or a spiritual guide. They are seen as knowledgeable individuals who provide guidance and instruction to their students or disciples. People often look up to gurus for wisdom and seek their guidance in various aspects of life, including spirituality and personal growth.

It's great that you grasped the concept of a guru as a teacher or spiritual guide. Understanding the meaning of words is an essential part of learning. Keep up the good work! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
