krsna Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 How can one who is fallen continue to be a spiritual guide for his disciples and followers ? Is it that they see in him the fallen conditioned spirit souls that they are? Is it easier in Kali-yuga to surrender to a conditioned soul guru than a nitya-siddha like Srila Prabhupada? Quote

If i think that guru makes mistakes i have more space for independence Quote

Kulapavana Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 "How can one who is fallen continue to be a spiritual guide for his disciples and followers ?" Such fallen guru cannot be seen as spiritual guide by a sincere disciple. But it is proper for a former disciple to show respect and gratitude to his former guru in appreciation of the guidance and inspiration received from him earlier. A debt must be honored in all circumstances. That is the Aryan way. Quote
