Guru does not mean heavy....whatever you tried to imply by that. This is an amalgamation of two words...gu and ru, which mean ‘darkness’ and ‘dispeller’, so the word guru means ‘dispeller of darkness’; someone who permeates your consciousness and makes you see and realize what is the truth, what is your purpose in life, why have you taken birth, how can you unite with the divine through ‘yog’ and the philosophy of Advaita, which means non-duality. Please do not give wrong meanings and make these highly revered symbols and words a petty twist for which the West is known.
