Namaskar,

I have, after six or seven years, found what philosophy I want to follow. I started out in Shaiva Siddhanta, but eventually I decided I didn't like the idea of Shiva being Supreme over all the other devas, such as Maa Durga, Vishnu, etc. Despite not liking that belief, I approached my purohit to become a Sri Vaishnava, but again, decided against it because of the Superiority issue. Now I have found that Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Advaita Vedanta is the philosophy I wish to follow. I want a guru from the parampara of him. My question is this: Do I wait for the guru, or do I actively seek him out?

Pranams,

Justin Lundeen
