Om Guruve namah| There were many meaning for Guru, some of them were 'Pitha', 'King', 'Large', etc. It means that Guru is the elder, larger and king for all. But the letter 'Gu' means 'dark' or 'ignorance' and letter 'ru' means 'one who cures'. So Guru cures the ignorance in the world. Since Dakshinamurthy cures the ignorance and gives happiness he worshiped as Guru. Sunlionel
