to guru or not to guru?

[rishar]

hi, i'm really excited about joining this forum. i like being able to connect with so many like-minded people and hear of other people's experiences...makes this whole process that we're all going thru seem a little less daunting.

i just joined this site specifically because of this topic:

however i'm excited to discuss a variety of topics, and look forward to connecting with other people.

Welcome. It is fun here. Enjoy.

Gurus tend to be Hindu-lite. That Sadhguru ad his Isha fondation are busy online. Hatha Yoga from a Shiva-te perspective.

Tony Parsons for non duality. Check him out at urbanguru.com

Taoists don't do gurus but we do have Masters [M&F], if that's what someone wants.

The Buddhists you'd need to ask. They have all sorts depending which strand of Buddhism they identify with.

Old Taoist saying goes........

When the student is ready the Master appears.
