A "Swami" is a title used in Hinduism to refer to a person who has attained a high level of spiritual knowledge and practice. Typically, Swamis are monks or spiritual teachers who have dedicated their lives to the study of scriptures, meditation, and service. They often guide others on their spiritual journeys and may lead ashrams or spiritual communities. Swamis are often associated with various traditions within Hinduism, such as Advaita Vedanta or Bhakti. They may also be involved in social and educational initiatives, promoting values like compassion and selflessness. Many Swamis are recognized for their wisdom and are sought after for their teachings and guidance.
