Guru (Samskrit : गुरुः) means preceptor, one who imparts valuable life lessons to the one who seeks knowledge. He is one who takes charge of immature children, sculpts them and makes them worthy useful citizens of the world. Thus such a preceptor was naturally held high in reverence. Gurus held an esteemed position in the society due to their [[Vidya (विद्या)|Vidya]] or knowledge they possessed (Manyasthana).<ref name=":0">Altekar, A. S. (1944) ''Education in Ancient India.''
