And who is he or she? And how did you find this guru in your life? I just like hearing other people's stories.
Sri Sri Mata Amritanandmayi Devi is my Satguru. A month before I met her, I had this dream of a White Owl that was my very best friend, confident. It let me play with it and sat on my shoulders. I loved it very much. There was love between myself and the White Owl. One month later, I met Amma. Amma wears white and I feel that way towards her like I felt towards the White Owl. So that is my story.
Before anybody gives ignorant and/or judgmental answers, the purpose of a guru is to help you find your own inner guru to the point that you no longer need an external guru. It is a particular spiritual path that not all chose, but feels right for some of us.

sory: you fail to understand that dreams are symbolic.
The rest of you, why must you feel the need to answer questions that aren't relevant. I guess you wanted to make "noise" and get "attention".

1969, california, USMC, i was going to Viet Nam in a couple of weeks. we went to LA to party. Hollywood. there was a girl. i'd never seen such a beautiful and exotic girl, and so was very open to her. she wore an orange robe, gave me incense and a pamphlet. i was impressed greatly. i studied the pamphlet and immediately wrote to the man about whom the pamphlet was written. within a few days i received a reply. i had written to him about my situation (see above). his repy was simple, "This will explain everything." he had enclosed a book he had just published: Bhagavad-Gita As It Is.
I will never forget His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The book had a bookmark where Arjuna asks Krishna how he can go to war against friends and family, more or less the same questions i had been asking myself. that book is here on my desk these 37 years later. my life was changed forever.
Namaste

That's lovely question to be answered.
My Great Guru is also AMMA. Before coming to AMMA, I was devoted to Sri Ramaksrishna Paramahansa.
I also take great pleasure in reading the spiritual teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Now with AMMA at Amritapuri Ashram.
