Very true about the different Gurus - thanks Prabhat !
I was talking to someone I know who is from India, telling her about Yogananda and Amma. I was somewhat surprised she had never heard of them and she was a bit hesitant to believe the things I was telling her. She told me that she has seen so many ' so called Gurus ' she is not sure who is real and who is not. Can there possibly be that many Gurus in India to cause such confusion ?
Or is this similar to all the different religions in the USA, each one claiming that they are the true or real religion ? I suppose this could in a way be confusing too.

Hi Into Blue ! One of my friend who work in USA was with me a few months back. He said he is afraid of Gurus and narrated a story how a Guru came from India and suggested his devotees purchase of certain shares and actually he has interest in the company and they were cheated. I asked him for what you have met that Guru - to increase your money. So you found a Guru who is also after money. If you try to find GOD you will get your True Guru I have presented him AOAY.

Hi Prabhat !
Interesting story about your friend and the Guru. It is unfortunate that some are only interested in making money, and use acting as a Guru as a way to do so. This is similar to what my friend told me, about these other Gurus wanting to take people's money for their own purposes. That was very thoughtful of you to give your friend AOY , so that he can find a true Guru. Very good advice, " If you try to find GOD you will get your True Guru "
I hope your friend has found his True Guru.
blessings, Into Blue

Good morning Prabhat !
Nice to see you here, anything new happening with you ? I wanted to know if they have SRF temples in India ? Are there any in the area where you live ?

Your sister will be blessed for such a contribution. Please tell her she is also welcome to our forum. Do most people speak Hindi where you live? Or do many speak English? i wonder what some of the people of India think about Gurus who have left India and went to the west. We sure appreciate the fact that they have and will remember to pray in gratitude for the blessings that have come from India.

Hi Steve ! I will tell my sister. She is not computer friendly so I doubt whether she can join the forum. Our mother tongue is Hindi. English is included in our education system so we also speak English. Many of us follow yoganandji including my sister. Sadgurus are universal beings and they are for the welfare of all.

Hello everybody hello Prahabatsina, hey Steve. I like the idea of a Universal language. That's what babies do. Basic Hindi should be a requirement for whenever my friends and I finally make it to India. Maybe everyone in the world should speak English or English and Spanish, they seem to be the easiest languages to learn. I know a little Spanish, Hindi is next or next next. ..................... next! ha
p.s. Steve, lets learn every language in the world and take over the Universe, just kidding, ha ha ha!!!
