Marta Szabo & The Guru Looked Good – The MonkCast

Erik Guzman August 30th, 2010

Join me on the MonkCast as I talk with Marta Szabo, author of The Guru Looked Good

The Guru Looked Good details Marta's ten plus years as a staff member in Gurumayi's ashram, the same yogic monastery that Elizabeth Gilbert describes in her bestseller/movie Eat, Pray, Love.

However, the picture painted by Szabo portrays the experience of working intimately with a guru in an international spiritual organization that extravagantly promises happiness, demands service, hypes a guru as God, but actually delivers escapism at best, oppression at worst.
