Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Namaste A Swami contains knowledge of the self (Swa - ami), thus both a master and one who conatins the knowledge that is taught, thus a teacher. The relationship is with the self. A Guru is one, who is in the relationship of a teacher, thus students are required to authenticate the existance of a Guru.
