Namaskaram swami!
Even I am feeling very much worried due to the increase of a lot of bogus gurus, these days. These are all the difficulties we face in Kali Yuga. First of all, a person becoming spiritually inclined itself is quite rare. But to add on this demerit, the number of fake gurus is sadly increasing day by day, which is making the situation difficult for even the sincere people. Best is to chant the names of Sriman Narayana, glorify Him, and be blissful for now.
Also, fortunately we have Velukkudi Sri U.Ve.Krishnan Swami, who is presenting the philosophy correctly from Vedas and Divyaprabandhams.
But, my question is how do we get Pancha Samskaram from a proper Acharya. I mean, how do we know if the Acharya is truthful or not?
(Please forgive my sensitive question, if it has hurted anyone)
