Have you ever felt the need to approach a spiritual master? Am I ready to accept a higher authority? Who is a spiritual master? What are his qualifications? Is he God?
Scriptures are littered with references pertaining to the importance of accepting and serving a spiritual master. But the path to a “bonafide” guru can seem fraught with danger and a rather hazy one.

The course also touches on the particulars of what acceptance of a guru practically means in a modern context within ISKCON.
