They are also commonly called Guru-ju or Gu-bhaju which are Nepali terms related to the Sanskrit term guru, and translate as ''teacher'' or ''priest''. The Bajracharya is the highest ranking of the Newar castes that are born Buddhist. To become a professional Guruju, a person of the bajracharya caste must go through a number of rituals. The bajracharya boy goes through a ritualistic process of initiation known as Bajravishekha, including shaving off the head as the buddha and asking for alms, at a minimum of seven houses a day in different places, in the tradition of monks since the time of Gautama Buddha.
