Would this mean that Srila Prabhupada was not loyal to his guru because he wasn't loyal to the Gaudiya Matha by starting his own movement due to what he deemed mismanagement of his guru's movement? > During Srila Prabhupada's presence, when his gurukula teachers began > to seriously follow the teachings of Mary Montessori, Kirtanananda >Swami remarked, "They have taken a new guru." Sri Arjuna had different gurus for his different training needs; he had Krsna as a spiritual guru and Drona as a varna guru. Similarly, people have need for different "gurus" to accept training in their respective varnas; typing gurus, farming gurus, management gurus, etc. Devotees can take gold from any place.
