The guru is seen as the one who “dispels the darkness of ignorance”. Guru is a Sanskrit term for a "mentor, guide, expert, or master" of certain knowledge or field. In Sanskrit, guru means dispeller of darkness.
There is a fundamental difference between a teacher and a guru. The teacher is the one who teaches us about the objects and processes of the external world, while the guru teaches us the techniques of exploring the reality of our inner being- i.e. self, by which our life changes.
Progress in life is possible by learning from a good teacher, but real peace and happiness come only by learning from an enlightened guru. The word guru in Sanskrit means 'one who removes your darkness or ignorance.
This Paduka Stotram removes all the negative energies from your magnetic field and enriches your magnetic field with love, passion, and wisdom. One who seeks religious knowledge must recite this stotra every day.
