Hare Krsna devotees. I am a devotee from Chandigarh. I am aspiring to take initiation from a guru but am confused. I am confused between two gurus. Many times I my heart says to take initiation from HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj but on other hand I think to take initiation from HH Pundrik Goswami Maharaj (Goswami of Sri Radharaman Temple). Kindly help me.

Still iff u r confused....then i would say don't take diksha..
give sometime (may be some years ) and do experience for some days/months/years.....
bcoz you are going to take your life's big decision in which you'll surrender yourself to whatever your guru would say and iff you disobey anything aginst the will of your guru whether he said even wrong , then you would become guru-dhrohi in any case even iff you're right.
my dear,i would like to say to you one thing "give some time (may be months/years),and then finally choose whatever guru you like" bcoz i myself spent 7 years in choosing the right guru
so take experience,give some time (may be years),and then finally choose the right guru so this is my only advice for you, in the end it's you who have to choose,no one will tell you except you!
If you believe allegations, that too on internet, then you are not ready to take diksha yet.
One thing I know about ISKCON, if someone does something wrong in ISKCON, then it is not brushed under the carpet. It is brought out and proper correction done - regardless of who it is.
What is the garauntee that there will not be any allegations on the other guru you mentioned? I am not saying there will be, or anything against either of the gurus, its a matter of personal conviction and choice.

Haribol.
Perfect answer prabhuji.. hari bol!!
One can take 'sharan' even of two gurus too
The main thing is God's consciousness should be evolved within us....
if that thing is not happening,then it's futile whether you take 'sharan' of one or more than one guru.
