Guru

Who is Guru? What he does? Why we need Guru?

In Indian culture Guru occupies prominent place. HE also known as`Acharya’ means a spiritually learned person , embodiment of knowledge and teaches us which is right or wrong.

Why we need Guru? For example a cow, a lion and a man were sent to a market. Cow directly goes where grass and grains, lion goes to the shop where flesh is kept. But the man goes round and round throughout the market, visits all shops and finally comes out without selection. this is because animals mind is programmed by the God and man has been given freewill. He has lot of choices before him. In the worldly life same thing is going on.Man does not know what he really need and how to achieve it. Worldly things attracts him which never gives long lasting happiness. Here we need the guidance of Guru Gurus are the wellwishers of the mankind and universe who did long penance. So the man should follow the teachings of GURU and the life fruitful.
