Hare Krishna,all glories to shrila Prabhupada,I was aspiring to be initiated by a perticular guru in KC,( not mentioning the name here). I followed all the regulatory principals and waited for initiation, but if in the meantime Gurumaharaj has left this world. I could not understand what to do . waited for about one year to understand my situation, thinking that the all the Guru in KC are originally from Shrila Prabhupada, and hence He becomes our prime Gurumaharaj, I thought of concenterating on connecting with other gurus to get my inspiration for initiation. Is it right ?, Some time i feel that i am ready to accept another guru and at the same time i feel guilty. Please advice me what is my situation ?. I am not able to decide and not able to get any direction.Hari bol

Hare Krishna dear Geetanjali Mataji, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
yes, Your situation is really understandable. But do not become sad because i know Devotees who wait for several years in order to get Initiation from particular Guru Maharajas.
In the reality, we do not choose Guru but Guru chooses us. If He left this world not initiating You then He was not Your diksha Guru.
And without taking initiation we can not progress in Krishna Consciousness fully. Because of that You have to look for other Gurus. Learn Them, listening lectures, reading books...
Krishna knows who is Your Guru, and He will meet You with Him. We have to pray to Lord Nityananda to show to us our own Master and He will take care of us.
Your servant,
