Finding One's Guru

[Guest guest]

It is my understanding that choosing a guru is a very important

selection, not to be made lightly, as it's usually a lifetime commitment.

 

Clearly, there are self-appointed " gurus " out there who are not truly

passing on liberation and enlightenment. Our wonderful mod just

banned one such poseur.

 

I'd like to hear everyone's experience in this area.

 

QUESTIONS:

Do you have a guru?

If so, how did you come to find him/her?

If not, what are you doing to find your guru?

 

 

(my) ANSWERS:

For me, I guess I sort of have a guru. I have received Kriya

initiation in the Hariharananda lineage. But I didn't feel that

earth-shaking, " this is my teacher! " sensation that I have heard other

people experience when they meet their guru. So, I have begun praying

to find my guru. In the interim I have been receiving (very light)

instruction from a guy in the International Nath Order.

 

OK, that's my experience. What's yours?
