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

Sharing the Sanskrit words for 'teacher' based on their unique abilities -

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

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

3. The one who imparts skills is called: Acharya (आचार्य)

4. The one who is able to give a deep insight into a subject is called: Pandit (पंडित)

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

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

When the Sanskrit language was so rich and refined, our knowledge would have been too. I wonder what kinds of secrets our ancestors knew.
