Hi, I' m in search of a guru who can teach me vedanta. I heard there is this person in Bombay called Ramesh Balshekhar. Does anyone have any information on him? I have gone to so many gurus and have been dissatisfied with all of them. Some of them are total frauds, including the famous ones... Akshay Tripathi replied. Thanks Anand for the reply. I will try to meet Mr. Balshekhar. anand replied. Hi Akshay, Ramesh Balsekar is a disciple of Nisargadatta Maharaj, whose talks with his disciples, available as a book called \" I am That\" is a spiritual classic. Balsekar holds talks at his residence somewhere in South Mumbai. Sheetal replied. Gone are the days when people extinguished themselves in search for God...now the whole place is infested with saffron robed money minting sadhus. Literati replied. Yes, that is a huge problem. I like the idea of a Guru but the problem is there aren' t any real ones. How do you identify whether a person is truly spiritually advanced or not? for that you will yourself have to be spiritually developed and for that, you need a Guru. so it' s a vicious cycle.
