The etymological claims that 'gu' means darkness and 'ru' means light therefore 'guru' literally means 'the one who brings you from darkness to light' is an idea popularized by frauds and is complete nonsense.
Guru is an adjective in Sanskrit meaning heavy. So literally the guru as teacher is 'the heavy.'
Seriously, which dictionary do you use? |
Again my friend I feel this negativeity towards me in your words, can I ask why?
It seems when I consult an online Sanskrit dictionary you are almost correct.
GuruH does indeed apear to mean heavy or weighty. Yet it reports Guru as teacher.
However that is all an aside, you have not yet addressed all of the other pionts I have put to you, do you intend to do so?
