The 4 Gurus
|
Andrew Cohen attended an event in Santa Monica, CA, that might be historically unprecedented.
Calling themselves "The 3 Gurus," Master Charles Cannon, Swami Chetanananda, and Swami Shankarananda are three American teachers of enlightenment in the Kashmir Shaivism lineage of the renowned 20th-century Hindu masters Bhagawan Nityananda and his disciple Swami Muktananda (who was the guru of the 3 Gurus). Teaching independently for years, the three have recently banded together to form a holy alliance of potentially unparalleled transformative power. After all, if just one guru or "destroyer of darkness" is a living, breathing, walking and talking death threat to the miserly human ego, then encountering three of them together is ... well, probably three times as liberating.
After a successful evening presentation, the 3 Gurus were joined onstage by Andrew for a compelling hour-and-a-half-long public dialogue. Here, they proceeded to discuss everything from the technical distinction between a "spiritual teacher" and a "guru" to the rather inhospitable environment for gurus that our secular postmodern context presents. Everyone was invigorated and excited by the conversation, and at the end, someone even suggested that maybe someday soon we'll be seeing "The 4 Gurus" hitting the teaching circuit!
