Similarly, extensive vapuh does not gaurentee devotional strenght, as we have seen all too often in the case of Srila Prabhupada and his disciples, as well as the case of Lord Caitanya and his servant who experienced difficulties with the gypsies. I am not arguing against vapuh, but against a possible overly sentimental attitude towards the guru/disciple relationship. Neither do I claim to have full experience in such things. ys, Sthita-dhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
