sam1 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 i have heard that there lives some saints in himalaya is it worth of seeking spiritual teacher? are they willing to teach anyone and what to do to be a person worth of teaching anything spiritual? for example i am university student and i am reading to become a physics reseacher. however studies doesn't improve me outside this narrow theoretical knowledge.

maadhav Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 first get serious about practicing dharma as is given in gita. then visit temples and ashramas, places of pilgrimages. when acute desire for a guru is felt in heart, a guru automatically will come in contact with you. it so happend to parikshit maharaj. there are vaishnav, shivaite, advaita, shakta institutions, and they have guru paramparas. vist them per your choice of sadhana, and meet the gurus, then choose one of your choice. once you select a guru, be serious to follow his/her directiond and orders. else just havin ga guru is of no use for spiritual progress. never pick a guru who have no guru. never pick a guru who does not walk as he talks. never pick a guru who says "you become my disciple". when you request one to be your guru, he/she may refuse it first. then he/she may test you to see how serious/committed you are. a guru-shishya relation is of intense love and respect. hope this helps.
