Udupi, Sep 8: The mantra, "Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwaraha, Gurusakshath Para Brahma, Tasmai Shree Guruve Namaha," states that a Guru is Brahma creator of knowledge, a Guru is Vishnu who sustains knowledge and a Guru is also Shiva the destroyer of the darkness of ignorance. We salute such a Guru.
