Choosing a guru
Question:
I am living within a grihasta ashram and I wanted to ask one practical question I am bothered with. I with my wife were thinking about it and need some clarification concerning the subject of accepting a guru. I wanted to know what is better or more suitable for the uninitiated devotees as we are. Is it better to choose one spiritual master and serve him together or rather the choice should be left for us to be made indipendently? What is the usual rule and what is better for the spiritual progress?
Answer:
The choice can be made independently but generally the husband’s guru become the guide for the family. Actually the husband is the first guru for his wife.
Yours sincerely,
Trivikrama Swami
