[YoginiMoon]

"So do you follow one person until you die or do you take a little bit of what you find helpful here and there and create your own way- recognizing not everything these great ones teach us are going to work FOR YOU?"

I'd have to say I fall into the latter camp.  While I've been on the (non-SRF) kriya yoga path for many years and consider that to be my primary path, I also get sustenance and inspiration from other teachers, like Swami Satchidananda and Yogi Hari, and Christian saints like Thomas Merton, St. Francis, Therese of Lisieux, and more modern figures like Dorothy Day.
