when spiritual master bows

[Guest guest]

> Whenever spiritual master bows down if I am in the same room I also bow

> down thinking it improper to stand while the spiritual master is bowing

> down.What does Vaisnava etiquette say about this?

 

In Gauranga-lila, sometimes when Lord Gauranga use to bow down before

Himself in the form of Lord Krishna, Shrila Advaita Acharya used to bow down

and take the dust from His lotus feet.

 

It is embarassing and improper etiquette for a disciple or for that matter

any Vaishnava to remain standing or sitting when a Vaishnava in the position

of a guru is bowing down in the same room.
