³Ò³Ü°ù³Ü±ô¾±á¹…g²¹ (गà¥à¤°à¥à¤²à¤¿à¤™à¥à¤�) refers to a type of ±ô¾±á¹…g²¹ (phallic emblem of Åšiva), as mentioned in the ÅšivapurÄṇa 1.18. Accordingly, “[...] the word Guru (Preceptor) signifies a person who wards off bad qualities. He removes all the ill effects of the RÄjasaic qualities. He is supreme Åšiva himself. He is beyond the three Guṇas, and assuming the form of the preceptor removes the ill effects of the three Guṇas and makes the disciple understand Åšiva. Hence he is the preceptor of the disciples who have faith. Hence the intelligent devotee shall know that the physical body of the preceptor is known as ³Ò³Ü°ù³Ü±ô¾±á¹…g²¹ the worship of which is service rendered to the preceptorâ€�.
