Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 It is said, phalena pariciyate: one is recognised by the result of his actions. In vaisnava society there are many types of Vaisnavas. Some of them are called gosvamis, some are called svamis, some are prabhus, and some are Prabhupada. One is not recognised however, simply by such a name. A spiritual master is recognised as an actual guru when it is seen that he has changed the character of his disciples. Haridas Thakur actually changed the character of a proffessional prostitute. People greatly appreciated this, and therefore they offered all obeisances to Haridas Thakur and glorified him.
