List of Hindu gurus and sants

A guru is defined as a "teacher, spiritual guide, [or] godman,"^[1] by author David Smith in his works in "Religions in the Modern World: Traditions and Transformations." To obtain the title of guru, one must go through a standard initiation process referred to as Diksha, in which they receive a mantra, or sacred Sanskrit phrase. ^[2]
