Have done my best to cite every sentence, per cn tags. Not required, per WP:MINREF, but if this info *seems* to be something that Must Be Challenged, I am attempting to comply. Seriously, a stmt that his mother died when he was 3, and his father when he was thirteen..., please! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 04:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Guru is an Indian word....

edit

At one point an editor seemed to object to the term Guru, as used in this article, as a WP:PEACOCK term. The word originated in Hindi and Sanskrit. Basically, it refers to a teacher or mentor. The English language version changed the meaning to a possibly "peacock" term, but obviously the people of India still use it with the original meaning. (I think this might be comparable to the word Master...a school master is a "master" of knowledge, not the master of a school full of slave-students!) In this article and context, the word Guru is both a title and a description, not the peacock word of mid to late 20th century Western English (UK/US) adopted usage.
