Is the teacher always necessary?

Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

Anything you want to learn, you must go to a teacher. How you can learn independently?
Room Conversation with Reporter -- March 9, 1975, London:

Reporter: Is the teacher always necessary? I mean, many meditation groups or yoga groups say that...

Prabhupāda: Yes. Why you are asking? Anything you want to learn, you must go to a teacher. How you can learn independently?

Reporter: I mean just, say, by reading the Bhagavad-gītā.

Prabhupāda: Reading Bhagavad-gītā is also taking lesson from the teacher. Teacher—Kṛṣṇa is personally the teacher, and you read Bhagavad-gītā means you take lessons from teacher, the supreme teacher.
