This is the List of the Preceptors of Hinduism.
One is Lord Krishna who is eloquent and another is Dakshinamurthy, who remains silent.
Interesting that Advaita(Nondualism) Guru starts with Sriman Narayana, whose followers Vaishnavas believe in Visishtadavaita,qualified non -dualism)
And Dakshinamurthy does not find a place!
