Guru Is Not A Fashion - Prabhupada 0008
750413 - Lecture SB 05.05.02 - Hyderabad
To have a guru is not a fashion. Now it has become a fashion. If somebody shows some jugglery, people become very much anxious to accept such guru. No. Guru means tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta. Who requires a guru? Jijñāsu śreya uttamam. One who is very much anxious to know about the ultimate benefit of life, for him guru is required. Not a fashion. Just like we keep a dog as a fashion.
