nitai16108 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 Hare Krishna All glories to Srila Prabhupad I think this shall be the qualities of a acharya or guru. 1. He should care or instruct his disciples. 2. He should be independent in decision making. 3. Seeing everybody as equal (Pandita sama darsina...)and giving importance to everybody without any partiality. The above said three are very important and more important points will be there.please explain the qualities of a guru and everyone can add points on this regard. So that it will be useful and helpful for the future krishna conciousness generations to know who is real guru? But its clear that Jagat guru is Srila Prabhupad. saviour of the whole world Srila Prabhupad Ki - Jai Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupad ki - Jai Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theist 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 The soul that loves Krsna and His parts and parcels and who knows the science of Krsna consciousness is qualified to make disciples around the world. You can also be Jagat Guru. That is the message of Srila Prabhupada, that is his desire, that is why he came to earth to preach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahak 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 A guru cares about you more than you do, his commitment to you is far beyond anything you will ever be able to commit to him. His acceptance of you as disciple has far more meaning than your acceptance of him, because he is acting on behalf of the Supreme Lord when he accepts you, but you have selfish motive in accepting him. So this is what we have to become to be guru, committed and caring for others, on behalf of the Supreme Chaitaguru, Lord Nityananda Prabhu. hare krsna, ys, mahaksadasa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tattvadasa 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 And the Guru will not abuse or use his disciples for fame or wealth. He will not make a comfortable life for himself at the expense of his followers. His life will be an open book. He will put emphasis on flaming the small desire we may have inside. He will know how to bring to a head and help us to see our own shortcoming in a way that is palatable and helps us to improve. He will rarely humiate his disciple in front of others. He will treat his disciples like a loving father treats his children. And one of the most important things is a guru will respect his own disciples. Knowing that by the association of his disciples and their yearning to know about Krishna brings out his own Krishna Con. so he will thank his disciples for helping him to be Krishna Con. Gaurakisora das Babaji Maharaja used to refer to his own disciple as 'My Prabhu' 'my master' when refering to Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur. The guru is one who never thinks himself guru. He only thinks himself servant of his own guru and servant of his disciples. the good qualities of Sri Guru are unlimited.. these are just a few.
