There is not much information on Self-knowledge but there is plenty of information on cults, gurus and their film flam, scandals etc. Real Self-knowledge requires that one find out for himself. This also means discovering, exploring, and thinking for oneself.
Looking for mystical gurus and yogis are not related to finding real Self Knowledge. A vast majority of these spiritual problems disappear as one takes full responsibility for his own "enlightenment"-- free of religion, god glorification, scriptural knowledge, cultural dogma, and burnt out historical traditions.
On pursuit of truth, everything all summed up in inquiring, analysing and reasoning on the base of soul as self, that is something one try for himself, and find out for himself.
Therefore, once one has that pointer, that direction, there is no need to waste time and effort. If one is interested in the history of gurus/yogis, or if one finds his transcribed talks entertaining or soothing, that is OK. Otherwise, once one becomes aware of the fact that ‘I’ is not the self, but the soul is the true self, he will be able to drop all the accumulated dross.
