Hindu teacher saw I'm disturbed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swami

'hindu teacher' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'saw i'm disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'saw'+'im'='sawim'
'sawim' anagrammed gives 'SWAMI'.

(Other definitions for swami that I've seen before include "Hindu holy man" , "Indian religious teacher" , "Term of respect to a Hindu teacher" , "How to address Hindu dignitary" , "Religious master" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
