Answer 2

In Indian religion context an Acharya is known as a preceptor or instructor who teaches students or other people about the religious matters. Acharya was an educational post in ancient times. During the Upanayana ceremony, the child's guardian used to take him to the Acharya.

In the field of learning, Acharya does not achieve without knowledge, superiority and success. Acharya, Guru and Upadhyaya were among the teachers of high quality, among whom Acharya's position was the best. Acharya cremated the student and kept him with him and arranged for his complete teaching and yoga.
