We Don't Have to Live in a Jungle
We are living in the Kali Yuga, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy. It's an age of cheating and exploitation. Everywhere people are simply trying to take advantage of each other. Lord Jesus Christ was crucified for his sincere attempt to do the highest good for the suffering humanity and Hari Das Thakur was severely beaten in 22 market places for the same reason. Even though we claim to be a highly advanced civilization with our ever-more sophisticated technology, the sad reality is that the world is becoming more and more chaotic. It's becoming more and more of an uncivilized jungle. In this connection poet Yeats has written:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
But in some ways the current situation is a real blessing. The external chaos serves as a reminder that this is not is our real home. No matter how you cut it, this material world is a place of birth, death, old age, and disease. Therefore learned and thoughtful men go within to connect with the transcendental dimension situated far, far beyond time and space. This is where the actual pure happiness exists.
The timeless Vedic wisdom describes a transcendental realm presided over by Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, the original divine couple. In that realm there is no birth, no death, no old age, and no disease. That realm is well within the reach of anyone who is willing to lay aside all preconceived notions and open their hearts to the enlightening teachings and practices clearly described in the essence of the Vedic wisdom, the Bhagavad-gita. By coming into contact with the bona fide spiritual master, the bringer of perfect wisdom from that amazing transcendental realm, and by submissively inquiring from him and serving him with love, we are blessed with perfect guidance of how to permanently enter into that transcendental existence never to suffer again in the world of birth, death, old age, and disease.
I was most fortunate to come into contact with such a teacher. He blessed me this knowledge and this pathway and instructed me that I should make this available to everyone throughout the world. Kindly take advantage of this and make your life supremely successful!
1. How can we know if our Guru is a bona fide one?
2. Can we accept another Guru if our Guru is not a bona fide one?
Your lowly servant,
Amrita
If your guru is not bona fide, you must reject him and take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
Because people's hearts are becoming more and more polluted with lust, anger and greed, the entire atmosphere is becoming more and more polluted. The air is polluted, the water is polluted, the atmosphere is full of disturbing sounds. It is becoming more and more difficult to find a beautiful serene atmosphere in which one can feel peaceful and happy.

Answers According to the Vedic Version
Question: If Guru is Not Bona Fide?...
Referring to your mail dated 25 April 2007, I have two questions about the Guru.1. How can we know if our Guru is a bona fide one?
2. Can we accept another Guru if our Guru is not a bona fide one?
Your lowly servant,
Amrita
Answer: Reject Him and Accept a Bona Fide Guru..
If the spiritual master purely repeats the words of Krishna as given in the Bhagavad-gita without any addition or subtraction, he is bona fide. Sadly nowadays it is very rare to find such a bona fide guru. Most of the so-called gurus present some concocted ideas which differ from the teachings of Lord Sri Krishna, the original spiritual master.If your guru is not bona fide, you must reject him and take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master.
