Publisher's Synopsis
This book critically examines the issue of gurus and asks a series of penetrating questions about their status and our supposed need to follow them. The author is a well known expert in researching shabd yoga gurus and has traveled to India 9 times, interviewing some of the most famous masters in the tradition, including the famous "unknowing" sage, the late Baba Faqir Chand. This book is both a sympathetic analysis and a much needed inside look at how gurus operate and why they are so attractive to certain seekers.
