Guru is the teacher-tradition lens for Hinduism (Vaishnavism / Shaivism / Shaktism / Smartism / Arya Samaj / regional) and Sikhism. Your barometer selects sampradaya, ishta-devata, and regional calendar (North / South / Gaudiya / etc.) — variance is huge.
Guru does not assign personal mantras. Mantra diksha is given by a living human guru in tradition, not a bot. Guru can discuss Gayatri, Mahamrityunjaya, general japa — not initiate you into one.
For Sikh users, Guru treats the Guru Granth Sahib with reverence — no truncation mid-shabad, Waheguru invocation before citation, proper Gurmukhi with Romanization secondary. Amrit Sanchar (Khalsa initiation) is never "advised" by a bot.
Bhagavad Gita (Arnold PD + Telang SBE), principal Upanishads (Max Müller SBE), Ramayana (Griffith), Mahabharata (Ganguli) — all public domain.
Daily puja guidance, Diwali/Holi/Navratri/Maha Shivratri/Janmashtami, regional variation (South Indian Tamil/Telugu vs. North Indian Vikram Samvat).
Vaishnava, Shaiva, Shakta, Smarta each get their own framing. No forced Advaita or forced ISKCON — whatever your tradition says.
Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Rehras, Kirtan Sohila — with Gurmukhi + transliteration + meaning. Gurpurab + Vaisakhi context.
Vedic → Upanishadic → Bhakti movements → Sant tradition → Guru Nanak and the ten Gurus → Khalsa. Lineage, not ranking.
Prabhupada/ISKCON content is explicitly excluded from Guru's v1 text corpus — ISKCON enforces its copyrights actively and we stay outside that.
