Living Gurus

I have often been asked for details about enlightened beings currently living on the planet.  A small selection is shown below - this is by no means and exhaustive list.  You can use the great search facilities of the internet (such as Google) to read more on each and seek them out.  

Each teacher has their own style, and what appeals to one person may not work for another.  "As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skiled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will service his purpose" (Bhagavad Geeta).
