A guru does not impart transcendental knowledge Buck, they just say it is transcendental knowledge. The knowledge they have to impart everyone already has, their job is to prod you to recognise it. The profession of guru is rather strange as a result of this. Their job is basically to pinch you when you are asleep, and see if you wake up. It does not seem to work all that often in practice.

As such even a number of people on BATGAP could be that, as Guru. -Buck “..a guru is "He [the person] who bestows that nature which transcend the qualities is said to be guru". And, A guru is a teacher, but not just any teacher; - The word indicates a teacher who imparts transcendental knowledge.
