Satguru Jagjit Singh Reading Gurbani
''Satguru'' (), or ''sadguru'' (), means a "true guru" in Sanskrit. The term is distinguished from other forms of gurus, such as musical instructors, scriptural teachers, parents, and so on. A ''satguru'' has some special characteristics that are not found in any other types of spiritual guru. ''Satguru'' is a title given specifically only to an enlightened ''rishi'' or '' sant'' whose life's purpose is to guide the initiated '' shishya'' on the spiritual path, the summation of which is the realization of the Self through realization of God. Hinduism According to Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, a Hindu ''satguru'' is always a '' sannyasin'', an unmarried renunciate, but not all writers include this stricture. Tukaram, a Hindu ''satguru'', is known to have had a family. Satguru Kabir had a son, Kamal, who was very devout. The words ''sant'' and ''satguru'' were prominently used in the spiritual ideology of Kabir in the 15th century. Kabir says "''satpurush ko jansi, Tiska satguru na ...
