'Purodha' is a word in the Sanskrit language meaning approximately torchbearer, i.e. generally someone bringing or holding a source of enlightenment, supporting others in their own ways of yoga, meditation, or whatsoever discipline they follow to become godlier. 'Purodha' is also used as the title given to a specific teaching person during yoga exercise and meditation camps and schools. He is usually in a supportive role to both the attendants and the teachers, similar to an assistant teacher.
