My evolving relationship with my spiritual Teacher
Pradeep Hoogakker
Pradeep talks about how, when he joined the spiritual path, he had a certain set of preconceptions about the path and the teacher, Sri Chinmoy. Over the years, he came to realise that a real spiritual teacher's role is only to show you the divinity that you have inside yourself.
