'''''Satguru''''' ({{langx|sa|सत्गुरु}}), or '''''sadguru''''' ({{langx|sa|सद्गुरु}}), means a "true [[guru]]" in [[Sanskrit]]. The term is distinguished from other forms of gurus, such as musical instructors, scriptural teachers, parents, and so on. A ''satguru'' has some special characteristics that are not found in any other types of spiritual guru. ''Satguru'' is a title given specifically only to an enlightened ''[[rishi]]'' or ''[[Sant (religion)|sant]]'' whose life's purpose is to guide the initiated ''[[Guru-shishya tradition|shishya]]'' on the spiritual path, the summation of which is the realization of the [[Self (spirituality)|Self]] through realization of [[God]].{{cn|date=September 2022}}
