krsna Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada has advised us: "Platform speakers of improper conduct, skilled in speeches only, or the professional priests, cannot be Guru. When a man does not keep himself engaged all the while in service of Hari, then he is anxious to be occupied with other things on the strength of Sri Nama and committing the great aparadha, spiritual offense, utilizing Sri Nama in sinful affairs. A stipend holder or a contractor cannot be a Guru, nor a blind reader of Bhagavatam. First of all, refrain from approaching the professional priest."
