The word 'Guru' comes from the sanskrit roots 'gu', ''darkness'' and 'ru', ''that which dispels''.

This aptly describes the true function of a Guru which is to dispel the darkness of ignorance, which denotes a teacher. In ancient India the word guru was used to described a Spiritual Teacher.

A true Spiritual Teacher is one who has attained God-contact through Meditation.

In the west this word is often misused to apply to a 'teacher, instructor,expert, authority figure, or prominent leader who has a large or elite following.'

The true guru is uniquely qualified to help the student on his or her path to God-Wisdom.

Write a short note on The Kuka Movement?

Kuka(Namdhari) Movement started in the Punjab in year 1872. This movement originated mainly to seek purification of the Sikhism. Jawar Mal and Ram Singh were two leaders of this movement. Namdhari (also known as Kukas) are a sect of Sikhism. The main difference between Namdhari Sikhs and mainstream Sikhs is their belief in Jagjit Singh as their living Guru (as opposed to the Guru Granth Sahib, the present Guru of Sikhs). Other differences include being: strict vegetarians; placing equal importance between the Guru Granth Sahib (Adi Granth) and the Dasam Granth (the holy book written by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh). Namdhari Sikhs are also very well known in the classical musical circles, producing stellar classical music artists like the Grammy award winning tabla player Sukhwinder Singh
