ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Acharya

So imagine you have a teacher, like the one in your class at school. An acharya is kind of like a teacher, but for things like religion or spirituality. They are someone who has learned a lot about these things and can help other people understand them better. They may also have special training or education in these areas. Think of an acharya as a wise and knowledgeable guide who can help you learn about certain beliefs and practices.
