How authentic do you want? Do you want a specific tradition? How accomplished should your guru be? And most important, how will you know this person when you meet this person? You do realize, don't you, that the people most qualified to be your guru won't tell you that they are.

Before looking for a guru, look for a teacher.
A teacher will impart knowledge with the hopes that you will grow. Self professed "guru's" aren't as interested in teaching as they are in having you follow their ways.

Here is a nice little page on Gurus from a Seik point of view, enjoy.

"God is my Guru"- Seik saying.

p.s. James; A Guru *is* a teacher, and altho i am sure there are unscrupulous types out there i am also sure there are some real Gurus who are here just to serve. Rare tho they may be.

"Frodo, to be a ring bearer is to be alone!"
"If someone says they know, you may be sure they do not know."
-- J. Krishnamurti
If someone is REALLY asking questions, and REALLY wants to know, that's the teacher/student/friend to travel with.

For a guru in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition check out:
http://swami.org/sanga/
I've been reading his weekly editorials for a few years now what he preaches really works out for me.
