On the 24th of February, the Guru Services Committee hosted its second online conference for ISKCON diksa (initiating) gurus. The topic was ‘Helping Disciples To Face Challenges.’ The first conference was held on the 5th of June, 2021, and was entitled ‘Challenges of Being a Guru in ISKCON.’
The Guru Services Committee (GSC), a standing committee of the Governing Body Commission (GBC), the global leadership of ISKCON, has the mandate to assist and support ISKCON gurus in their service to Srila
This morning, or, what is evening in India, I participated in a Guru Conference with the theme “How to deal with Disciple Challenges.” Gurus (or teachers) spoke about and heard about their experiences in coaching their disciples (students). Presenters and listeners had the chance to dive deeper into the grave responsibility.
My thoughts on the position of guru are that he/she is a listener, adviser, coach, guide, cheer leader, blesser and truth speaker, while also being the truth applicant.
