This is a brief essay on the pitfalls of choosing a Guru for a person (gyan pipasu) with little experience of India. The primary problem is with the expectations of disciples if they do not usually understand much about pan-Indian values and culture, and therefore have a difficult time making informed judgments about Gurus and their behavior.

In order to understand how best to choose a Guru in the Indian tradition, it is best to look at how it is done in India where people have been doing it for a long time. Let us discuss the expectations of Indian disciples.

Indians expect the Guru to be very far along the spiritual path, and it is assumed that only a very few unique souls can be true Gurus. They examine any prospective Guru very carefully before they even consider becoming a disciple. e.g. Vivekananda, who went to see many saints and learned persons before accepting the discplehood of Ramakrishna Paramhans.

The criteria for choosing a Guru are complex but a few qualities that are respected are celibacy, lack of interest in money , ability to sit in meditation for hours (and even days) without any movement or disturbance. This criterion is especially important for yogic Gurus such as those who are in a Shankaracharya lineage such as Paramahamsa Yogananda.

One of basic thing to remember is the peace and satisfaction showered merely by view (Darshan) of SadGuru is the formost criteria.

Other less important elements are how the Guru spends his or her time. Some bhakti or devotional Gurus will spend long periods of time in puja or ritual worship of a deity (an empowered statue on an altar). Others will do homa (or fire) sacrifices in the typical Vedic fashion which last for hours. Others will sit for long periods and tell religious stories from Indian classical literature (or local village myths) describing the adventures of the gods Krishna and Radha, or Ram and Sita but they are preachers only whereas an actual SadGuru delivers His wordly duties at the same time is always enjoying the nector of "Akhand Samadhi" and connected spritually with the desciples. It doesn't matter what he do for his own bread and butter.

Gurus can show they are serious about enlightenment or devotion if they seem to have no other interests but to perform religious ritual, and talk and sing about deities or religious ideas and stories. Such commitment is impressive to many Indian disciples. The Gurus in the Who do not practice them that often and focus more on meditation. It is therefore more difficult to judge a Guru's religious commitment based on the amount of external religious ritual he or she performs. Here the Western disciple is at a disadvantage since he or she cannot use this ritual behavior as an indicator of the commitment of the prospective Guru.

The lineage of the Guru is also given great importance. Is he or she initiated and by whom? Is the Guru's Guru known and respected? Is there evidence that the Guru was actually given initiation by the person he claims to have initiated him? Westerners should ask questions about lineage and understand the Guru's background before accepting any Guru as do most Indians.

?>AﺀŅ When it comes to expectations about Gurus, perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome for a Westerner is the tendency to model the Guru-disciple relationship on erotic love, or the relationship of love and marriage as it exists in the Western world. For Westerners, the marriage relationship is usually about romance. Westerners seem to unconsciously treat the Guru and their devotion towards him or her the way they treat a romantic partner of the opposite sex. But it is far away from the actual relation in Guru and Desciple. Here Guru represents the supreme soul and The desciple represents the soul that is the part of Supreme soul and is eagrly and anxiously wanting a reunion. This reunion is also defined as Moksha or Yog.

When the disciple "falls in love" with the Guru, he or she is swept away by the power and grandeur of the Guru and will do anything to be near him or her. The disciple craves recognition and love from the Guru, and goes to great lengths to show his or her love and devotion for the Guru.

However in India, the relationship is more similar to an Indian marriage. The bonds between a disciple and Guru are more about duty and responsibility than romantic love. The relationship seems to be one of growing compatibility and mutual support rather than a love. The disciple is immersed in ignorance(Agyan) and is willing to accept initiation (Deekhsa) from the Guru, and follow his or her precepts to free himself from the web of maya. Both have obligations towards each other, and as they each fulfill these obligations, their love bond grows stronger. It is at this point that devotion, surrender, service and love for the Guru becomes appropriate and important.

Ecstatic Gurus, Mad Saints, Tantric Teachers and Divine Madness

Westerners are attracted to Tantrics and mad Gurus or "the crazy wisdom" because of the passionate nature of these teachers and the hope of following the "fast path" to enlightenment. Their ecstasy demonstrates their passion for God and sometimes their realization of the Truth. They are actually alone in the journey and are confined to their liberation only. They cann't be Guru for everyone although they might have a few selected Pupils.
