Prabhupada,Vrindavana, November 6, 1976: […] In the Western countries we are seeing so many so-called rascal gurus go there and cheat the public because the Europeans, Americans, they have got some conviction that India has got some spiritual knowledge, so anyone goes as a sannyasi, as a swami, they expect to get something from them.
So they gather round them. But these rascals cheat them. Somebody says, “I am incarnation of God, and I can make my secretary, woman, pregnant, and marry and get some money.” This is going on. And somebody is “Transcendental Meditation”. What is the result of prana…? He’ll will get strong. He will get money. Your health will be right. These things are going on.
But sastra says that you should not…, you are rascal. You should not become a guru because you have no power to save your disciple from the clutches of imminent death. We will not cheat others. Gurur na sa syat, this is Bhagavatam.
You are rascal if you are not confident that you can save him from the clutches of birth and death. This is my problem. But they do not know what is the problem. They think that little pain in my belly or in the head, if the guru can give me a little dust and it is cured. You will find that there are so many cheaters.
