All glories to SS Guru Gauranga
Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!
I write because I have some questions; - if a devotee, a disciple of a spiritual master from another school, as Vrinda, can take siksa Guru in ISKCON spiritual master?
- If these people can take siksa guru, then, does this person can actively participate in ISKCON, without any problem or not?
I hope your health is better.
Please accept my humble obeisances.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. paoho. We answered this questions a lot in the letter to Candramukhi Devi Dasi: http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/3583
A Siksa guru as we have heard from Srila Prabhupada is anyone who enlivens us in devotional service by citing relevant instructions from the Acharyas or Scriptures. So, there will be many kinds of Siksa-gurus and which one we have depends on our particular spiritual situation. If we are looking to get properly initiated in a bona fide Sampradaya then the Siksa-guru is called Vartmana-pradarsika or Patha-pradarsika guru. He does not have to be an initiated devotee. He can just give us the advice.
In the letter to CMDD we give a lot of other aspects of the question.
