Yoga Tip
In Life we encounter six types of Gurus:
Parents are the first Gurus. The influence and example of the parents, especially the mother, are of great importance in the continuing development of the child.
Playmates and school friends are the second Guru. Character and habits are formed by the society that we predominantly keep.
Third are our Schoolteachers and Professors. They instruct us in Aparavidyā and help us acquire the knowledge and skills required for our profession and within society.
The fourth Guru is the religious teacher or priest who introduces us to the religious teachings and ceremonies of our culture.
The fifth Guru is the Satguru, the spiritual Master, who shows us our spiritual Dharma and transmits to us Paravidyā, spiritual knowledge.
Ultimately, the sixth and final Guru is the inner Master that exists within each and every one of us.
