Real Meaning of Guru
Guru means the remover of darkness or ignorance. It is a Sanskrit word. A Guru is anyone who transforms the understanding of your life. They may teach any subject, but it is not the information that they share. It is the wisdom that they awaken within you.
As per Mr. Prashant Kapoor, a Guru does not just answer questions. Instead, a Guru teaches the disciples how to ask the right questions. Mr Prashant Kapoor always consults his guru, Mr Vipin Kapoor. Mr Prashant Kapoor has learnt Mundane Astrology from Mr Vipin Kapoor. Therefore, every time before making some startling predictions, he always makes it a point to consult and confirm his calculations with Mr Vipin Kapoor.
Similarly, Mrs. Akanksha Srivastava credits Mr. Prashant Kapoor for her confidence and understanding of astrology from a spiritual perspective.
