La mínima calificación para ser Guru
________Por Srila Gour Govinda Swami
¿Cual es la calificación mínima para ser guru?
En EEUU, en el 1993, un devoto mayor se acercó a Sri Srimad Gaura Govinda Maharaja y le preguntó:
“Maharaja, llevo mucho tiempo predicando en esta zona, y algunos devotos mayores me están animando con el fin de que acepte discípulos. No se me había ocurrido pensarlo, puesto que no tengo realmente ninguna calificación para eso; pero por otro lado, esto animaría a quienes estoy predicando. Mi pregunta es la siguiente:
“¿Cuál es la calificación mínima para ser guru?”
Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja sonrió y dijo:
“La calificación mínima para ser guru es que cuando cantes japa no guardes ningún pensamiento que no sea Krsna.”
Al escuchar esto, el devoto algo incómodo dijo:
“¡Mm, esta es una calificación muy alta! ¿Cuál es la mínima?
Gour Govinda Maharaja sonrió y dijo:
“Esta es la mínima. Si no alcanzas este nivel mínimo, te puedes caer.”

"Anyone can understand that behind the beauty of nature, behind the succulent fruits and vegetables, and behind the wonderful heat and light of the sun, there is a Friend. So we should contact that Dearmost Friend, Krishna." — con Prasenjit Barman, Manindra Nath Barman, Joydev Das, Mouli Chakraborty, Tapan Barman, Revatis Dasa, Vaibhav Lathigara y Anggra Eni.
“Everyone should be serious because if we miss this opportunity, then after death we do not know what is going to happen.” — con Amardeep Sharma.
"By His practical activity, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu informed us how to cleanse our hearts. Once the heart is cleansed, we should invite Lord Sri Krsna to sit down, and we should observe the festival by distributing prasadam and chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra."
"The easiest way to control the mind, as suggested by Lord Caitanya, is chanting "Hare Krishna," the great mantra for deliverance, in all humility. The method prescribed is sa vai manah krsna-padaravindayoh: one must engage one's mind fully in Krishna. Only then will there remain no other engagements to agitate the mind." — con Prema Paul y Gen Evieve.
