Guru is a chief man.
Prabhupada: Yes, the chief man. So the guru is there. He is the chief man,
giving direction, or the captain. And others are plying, and the boat is also
strong, and the wind is also favorable. In this circumstances, if you cannot
cross, then you make suicide. The śāstras are there. That is favorable wind.

What is Guru?
So you have to learn from guru by three processes. What is that? First process is you must surrender. Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta (SB 11.3.21). Surrender. You have to find out such an exalted person where you can willingly surrender, “Yes.” Therefore it is enjoined in the śāstras, before making a guru, try to study him, whether you can surrender there. Don’t accept any guru all of a sudden as fanatic. No, don’t do that.

The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore i offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bonafide representative of Sri Hari [Krishna].

Guru means who follows the predecessor, authorized predecessor. He is guru. Not that
everyone is guru. So therefore we have to follow the superior order. Then we become guru, not that by
cheating others we become guru. No. That is cheater. That is not teacher. Guru means who is following
the superior order. The superior order is Krsna or His representative.

That is Vaisnava conception. Trnad api sunicena. He is very humble. He never says, “Oh, I am the Supreme. I have become God.” A most rascal, foolish. So that is not… Therefore we have to follow. If we actually want to become guru, there is necessity of many thousands of gurus to teach this cheated public.

We are all more than fortunate, to get the opportunity to serve and worship such a spiritual master. To share our hearts is also a wonderful way not just to connect with our spiritual master but also with all of our god sisters and brothers. In this way we can all benefit each other and get inspiration, insight and appreciation.

The appearance day of the spiritual master is a day not just focused on external practical sevas like cooking, foot bathing, bhajans, large cakes, and gifts. It is a day when we look internally and reconfirm our commitment to the mission of the spiritual master. To say to him, “Yes, from today forward, I will accept your mission as a jewel and carry it upon my head.”

Vyäsa-püjä is the day on which we formally praise, worship and thank the spiritual master, who is the perfect representative of Vyasadeva. But the real worship and the real show of gratitude is done during the other 364 days of the year when we tirelessly serve the spiritual master and follow his instructions. This is the example Srilala Prabhupäda gave us. He explains this wonderfully in his Vaisistyastakam prayers.
