Krishna Will Send You a Guru
Krishna Will Send You a Guru
Understanding that making the human life a success requires the expert guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, many of our readers request us to give them guidance on how to find a guru. Since this question has been perfectly answered by Krishnadas Kaviraja Goswami and Srila Prabhupada in the Caitanya Caritamrita, for your edification here is their answer:
jīve sākṣāt nāhi tāte guru caittya rūpe
śikṣā-guru haya kṛṣṇa-mahānta-svarūpe
"Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krishna Himself."--Caitanya Caritamrita Adi 1.58
Purport by Srila Prabhupada--"It is not possible for a conditioned soul to directly meet Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but if one becomes a sincere devotee and seriously engages in devotional service, Lord Krishna sends an instructing spiritual master to show him favor and invoke his dormant propensity for serving the Supreme. The preceptor appears before the external senses of the fortunate conditioned soul, and at the same time the devotee is guided from within by the caittya-guru, Krishna, who is seated as the spiritual master within the heart of the living entity."
So all we have to is sincerely and seriously engage ourselves in devotional service. As soon as we do this Krishna will send us a spiritual master.You will too simply by sincerely engaging yourself in devotional service.

The Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
