I am going through my Vedabase Bookmarks and adding them to my Google Notebook with its new Labels functionality. Its a million times more organised this way, I feel. Am a bit paraoid about storing all my KC Notes online though... anyways I thought that I would share with you guys some nectar that I found!!! More will follow later.
In the early morning Prabhupada took up the topic of cheating gurus again. He told us about some of the nefarious activities of a few so-called gurus. One well know Svami had been found in bed with his secretary. So his disciples sued him.
He also told us about a Sikh guru in America who enjoys his disciples' wives. And they consider this a "blessing."
In Bombay there is a deviant line of Vaishnavas who follow a similar procedure. When a couple gets married the girl spends her wedding night with the guru, so that she becomes "guru prasadam"!
