Do You Need a Guru?: Understanding the student-teacher relationship in an era of false prophets

by Mariana Caplan (Author)

Synopsis

Few arenas in the field of contemporary spirituality create as much challenge, confusion and provocation as that of the student - teacher relationship. In the 21st century, Mariana Caplan predicts, there will be a shift back to the student-teacher relationship as we realise the limitations of trying to do it on our own . However, this teacher-student relationship will have to be created anew to reflect our new awareness.

Author Bio
Caplan is a trained cultural anthrolopologist and therapist. She is a student of the Western Baul (Hindu-based tradition) but is widely versed in other forms of spirituality. Her books have been published by a small press in the US to date; Hohm Press. Her latest book, Halfway Up the Mountain, has been extremely influential and fostered widespread debate. US sales figures are modest because Hohm Press is not a major publisher. Her work has only been distributed in the UK. She is based in California.
