– Do the Acharyas have any faults?

– There are no faults in the activities of the mahajanas. (Sajjana-toshani 10/10)

– Why do people criticize even an extremely qualified Acharya?

– Even though Sri Nityananda Prabhu, the Acharya of all Acharyas, was an avadhuta, He never displayed any sinful behavior.

Those who say that the Lord was sinful are abominable. Sinful persons attribute false faults in the character of the Acharya and try to prove their own faults as qualifications.

Alas! O Kali! Whatever you have promised you have done! Some artificial Vaishnavas say that Sri Nityananda Prabhu was a meat and fish eater, and accuse Sri Mahaprabhu, the personification of religious principles, of associating with women, and thus call Him a paramour.

They also cheat the people of the world by falsely accusing pure devotees, such as Sri Rupa Goswami and Sri Ramananda Raya, of associating with women. (Sajjana-toshani 8/9)

– How should a disciple treat his guru?

– A disciple should accept his guru as the manifestation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should never consider him an ordinary human being. (Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Caitanya-caritamrta Adi 1/46)

– Do the gurus, after they disappear, bestow their mercy upon the living entities?

– The souls of great thinkers of bygone ages, who now live spiritually, often approach an inquiring spirit and assist him in his development.

Another revelation, Accept a guru who fully (!) knows the science of Krsna, regardless of his varna or asrama. Check out the previous page too: A Satguru or Acharya (Part 3). You will benefit from reading the whole work: Acharya. Guru. Spiritual Master.
