The Guru & Disciple FAQ Book

The Guru & Disciple Book is informative and provocative... a balanced, sane analysis with good suggestions."
Bhakti Vikas Swami

The authentic spiritual teacher is a living example of Krishna bhakti, someone who can pass on the wisdom of experience, provide encouragement and guidance, and who is an accessible source of inspiration.

The task of identifying such a person and becoming their student is the subject of much discussion and a thousand questions.

This book contains one-hundred-and-sixty-four of such questions, collected from students attending Bhaktivedanta Manor's The Guru & Disciple Course over more than a decade. The questions range from the respectful to the irreverent, but each question has been preserved, just as it was asked. The answers are straight to the point and refreshingly brief. Since the Manor's course was one of the forerunners of the international ISKCON Disciple Course, the Q&A inside this small book will act as helpful, supportive material to any prospective disciple who has either taken that course or is contemplating it.
