If bliss appeals to someone, and they're willing to pay the price, good luck to them, as long as they can find their real guru as you say. But real gurus are not that hard to find on the internet are they? Both Jonesboy and running have their favourite enlightened gurus online, they should be pretty easy to access nowadays.

Namaste.
I do note a certain degree of sarcasm in that post, but in a way I agree with you.
Maybe it is just me, but I don't understand how a "virtual Guru" is supposed to work. How much "Shaktipat" can be transmitted online anyway? Wouldn't it be akin to giving a "hug emoji" over the real thing? Doesn't being in the presence of a Master require being in the actual presence of a Master? or am I missing something here?
No disrespect is intended to anybody by this, but I simply do not understand.
As for finding a Guru online, I don't know...There are a lot of teachers that I really like...that I resonate with...Igor Kufayev, Craig Holliday, Peter Marchand, Sadguru etc, but I cannot say that any of them does it for me on a deep soul level...enough to choose them as my Guru.
I have also had great Gurus in the past, including Swami Satyananda, Swami Chidananda and Harish Johari...but nothing contemporary really compares to them...and if I had a choice...All of the Gurus I would have chosen died about 500 years ago... whether I observe death as being only a temporary inconvenience remains to be seen.
Aum Namah Shivaya
