The Bhodaka plays the central role because his teachings form the nucleus to the contributions made by other teachers; thus spiritual knowledge facilitated by ancillary methods of impelling, indicating, showing, and instructing attains fruition. One has to pick and choose a Guru; one may end up like a bee that goes from flower to flower accumulating honey; this search for a good guru actually helps a sadhaka achieve wider knowledge. If the Guru-Sisya relationship is agreeable to both the Guru and the Sadhaka, they should act in each other's interest: the Guru takes care of the spiritual needs of the Sadhaka and the Sadhaka treats the Guru like god on earth.    A list of disqualifications of Guru: Himsa (injury) sinning bad reputation devious mind cruelty (Krura) selling gold thieving plagued with troubles and worries bad character adulterous foul language deformed sensuous deceiver adharma talkative greedy miserly liar hyperactive lacks reverence devoid of acaras many blemishes money-minded Consumption (TB) Skin disease diseased nails diseased teeth deafness cataract bald! lame! deformed! extra body parts conjunctivitis halitosis! large testicles! hunchback! leper impotence! breaks Kaula practices loudmouth pure ritualist physician! arrogance vanity addiction wicked bad company unbeliever timid ignorance of Mantras epicurean astrologer usurps property from pupil wastes Sisya's money harms out of greed    A list of some qualifications of Guru: Knowledge of Vira Knowledge of Divya Knowledge of Kaula Knowledge of Sattva Knowledge of Rajas Knowledge of tamas Knowledge of Mantra Knowledge of Guru Knowledge of Devata Meaning of Mantra Awakening of Mantra Yoni Mudra Calm Self-control Pure mind Siddha (perfection) reveals to Sisya previously unknown knowledge reveals spiritual Truths    There are three classes of Gurus: Prabhu = Lord; Vibhu = The Greatest, The Supreme Lord, Omnipresent; Svayambhu = self-created, self-existent. All have equal weight with God.    Bogus Yogis are available here and there on the field, or by the river, meaning they are ubiquitous (hatemathe = Hatta = market, fair + Mathe =field). In modern parlance, they are dime a dozen. Atheists, Epicures, the unclean, the unwashed, and low-life scoundrels take the name of Yogis so much so that Uravasi, Menaka, and Rambha hide their beauty by taking on the forms of animals. In this Kaliyuga, the misfits, the nonconformists, the disconnected, and the unanchored wander around professing Yoga Marga and Arya Dharma.  Veeraswamy Krishnaraj Looking for local information?
