Abstract
This thesis is "a look into the influx of the Indian guru to the U.S. after the passing of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. It encompasses the historical, cultural, social, and psychological aspects of this phenomenon. It includes my own personal experience as a Hare Krishna.

The benefits of following a true guru as well as the consequences of following a false guru are investigated.
