Guru ?

Namaste Joanna,

 

Sure it is ok, but I would suggest that one sticks to Just One Guru and LEarning

and accepting what ever he has to teach. Searchinfg for more and getting their

initiation is not as worth as gaining the One Knowledge from that One Guru.

 

Now the choice is up to you but still think about it for it will get you only

more confused in life.

 

Pranam,

Of course! 2 Gurus can even give you the same mantra as well (i.e. Gayatri

initiation, et al.). But nevertheless, one Guru can only ever be your Sat Guru,

while any number can be instructing or Siksha gurus.

 

Very often, people are initiated by a sat guru into a particular lineage or

such, (Vaishnava, et al.), to satisfy a family samskara or tendency towards a

particular type of worship. They may then later meet a siksha or instructing

guru, who may satisfy their soul's devotional needs more than the original

initiating Sat Guru. The 2nd relationship will by no means minimize the first;

actually it may even serve to amplify it.

 

It would be like having a father or mother whom you love, and then having a

parent remarry and then you getting a stepmother or stepfather whom you also

love. You can accept, give and receive love from all of the above.

Abhinavagupta in his Tantraloka says that if a guru is not posessing of complete

knowledge (is not purna-siddha), then one may go from one guru to another thus

acquiring the totality - like a bee from one flower to another.

 

Of course, one should seek Truth. And not a status being initiated 10 times LOL.
