Teacher definition

Sanskrit words for 'teacher' based on their unique abilities...

1. The teacher who gives you information is called: Adhyapak

2. The one who imparts knowledge combined with information is called: Upadhyaya

3. The one who imparts skills is called: Acharya

4. The one who is able to give a deep insight into a subject is called: Pundit

5. The one who has a visionary view on a subject and teaches you to think in that manner is called: Dhrishta

6. The one who is able to awaken wisdom in you, leading you from darkness to light, is called: Guru

Sanskrit is perhaps the only language that has such a refined vocabulary to distinguish the different kinds of teachers.
