There are a number of Gurus in Mahabharata, no doubt they all were one of the best, but who was the best among them
1.) Dronacharya - Arguably, if someone thinks about gurus of mahabharata Drona is the first name to appear.His best student Arjuna is known in 3 world's to be the greatest archer ever.Two of the most powerful mace warriors are taught by him (Duryodhan and Bheem)

2.) Parshurama - The teacher of teachers, the guru of Drona himself, His student Bhishma known to be unconquerable even Parshurama himself was not able to defeat him, He taught Karna to such a point that he declared Karna to be his equal in warfare and archery.

3.) Bhishma-He taught vichitravirya and dhritashtra.

4.) Arjuna - He taught Satyaki who was the 3rd best archer on the pandava side.

5.) Krishna- He taught Abhimanyu who was the best archer after Arjuna on the pandava side,He was the spiritual guru of everyone.

Drona would be a no-brainer.but now the way u've described them,Im leanign more towards Parashurama.
Great is the teacher who makes his student better than him!

Krishna's guru Sandipan, and next to that, Uloopi, who taught Babruvahana, and the latter downed Arjun himself in battle.

Incidentally, Krishna did teach at least Abhimanyu, if not Draupadi's sons. Also, in addition to Satyaki, Arjun taught Pradhyumna as well.

I'd also toss in Balarama, who taught both Duryodhan & Bhima.

I like Parashurama. He taught Karna and loved him like his son.

Dear, please don't conflate Aham & Karna. Parashurama taught Karna. Aham was probably not as lucky, despite not being a kshatriya

Only Krishna could defeat Aham as he was god and Krishna himself said that Karan was the best archer in the world.⭐️

Please edit your comment, it is very very controversial, it will create fights between fans, I did not open this thread to state who was better than whom, we have different threads for that.
