In the Harinam Cintamani it is said that even one who has reached the level of bhava can fall down, but I would consider that someone at that stage of Krsna consciousness to be a bona fide spiritual master. My initiating guru fell down but I never felt that I had lost my connection with the parampara or Krsna and still feel well connected. Yours with faith in the process, Gokula das. p.s. Just read Madhva Gosh's comments. Prabhu you are a sadhu and very down to earth, What great analogies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
