GURU- TYPES & KINDS by Chennai based K.B.Gopalakrishnan 15th April,2007 7:19 pm
The guru stress the common themes which as follows
God is beyond religion. God is one
There are three kind of guru.
Satellite, servers and towers. The satellites are the original great masters who run the universe, who help humanity to evolve in to higher state of consciousness. The servers are people who are connected with these satellites who are popular and do good work. The towers are the people who take energy from the satellite and make it come through. For example Ramakrishna was a satellite, server is Vivekananda, the towers is the Ramakrishna math. Jesus was a satellite, the apostle- his servers and towers is the current structure of Christianity.
Every guru specializes in certain areas. For example the parmacharya of kanchi was noble in character. Also he was instrumental in the west finding the great Ramana Maharishi. Paul brunton met parmacharya who pointed on Ramana maharishi as the living example of enlightened sage.
Many of them will have various levels of guidance. For example sai baba followers will have two more gurus. They will have a spiritually successful people and an astrologer. When ever guidance comes from these people they will attribute it to sai baba. K.B.Gopalakrishnan has personally helped many sai followers who will attribute any astrological success to sai baba grace.
The lineage is formed by work of three to four great masters. For example Ramakrishna was the founder of the lineage, his second generation disciple worked very hard and the subsequent generations build big ashram. The initial part of any lineage will produce great spiritual genius. For example before the kaygu lineage was formed the first 5 masters were awe some. The great Tilopa, followed by Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa and Gamopa were just brilliant in their powers and meditative ability. The kriya yoga lineage was started by babaji, then the great laharia mahayasa, the great yukteswar giri who were brilliant in there meditative abilities and spiritual gifts. Yogananda parmahamsa was well known for propagation.
People who meditate a lot and who are chosen for meditation will have following problems
The works of these spiritual geniuses are very fast. Their followers will slowly assimilate digest and take time to show it to the world. For example the work of chaitanaya mahaprabhu was well captured by the great prabhu pada whose masters would have been great people.
One has guru in two ways. One is the love marriage way where you see and feel a strong pull. The other one is arranged marriage where you search and fix it. One is you fix the guru or in many cases guru fixes you with experiences.
Finally not every one has calling to worldly work. Many people are meant to do sadhana and help people who come on there own. If one realizes this then it is easy to focus on sadhana.
