Which is why I am looking to be able to communicate with a teacher, to work out some of the finer dysfunctional patterns I find existing in my mind. Personally I think the only satisfactory was to communicate with a teacher is to do it face to face. There are some dodgey people on the interent who set themselves up as enlightened teachers and they might be all too happy to 'teach' you by e-mail !

The best thing to do, Himanshi is to use that search facility link I offered you and find some centres or monasteries that you can visit offline yourself. Don't be in too much of a hurry to take anyone as your teacher either, take your time investigating. Not all teachers are willing to just take anyone as a student either, sometimes a probationary period is necessary.

I don't think any of our active members here have long-term experience of current teachers in India , but I might be wrong of course.
