In Hinduism, spiritual Gurus are the pillars of the tradition. They are the self-appointed guardians of the Dharma. A guru is a living God, an aspect of God or a representative of God with access to the knowledge of God and liberation. Above all, he is a great devotee of God and personifies the best of human character and conduct. The spiritual gurus of Hinduism play many roles in society and serve many purposes. They act as spiritual advisors, counselors, teachers, astrologers, therapists, leaders, protectors, guardians, exorcists, messengers, healers, reformers, and upholders of Dharma. Hindu gurus come from both genders and all classes of society. Some maybe even illiterate but possess the knowledge of the Self.
A guru is the face of God. Your real guru is always God himself. He is the power, which guides your spiritual effort. He is always there, with you as your true Self and your inner witness. Therefore, you may follow your heart in choosing a guru, but you should not bring your ego into the effort. It is tamasic to insist on him for initiation when you are not truly ready. That decision should be entirely left to him.
