No, no. Guru cannot be different types. All gurus are of one type.


Talk with Bob Cohen -- February 27-29, 1972, Mayapura:

Bob: Lord Caitanya, He was a different type of guru than you were?

Prabhupāda: No, no. No. Guru cannot be different types. All gurus are of one type.

Bob: But He was . . . was He also an incarnation at the same . . .?

Prabhupāda: Yes, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, but He is representing as guru.

Bob: I, I see.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bob: And then . . .

Prabhupāda: Because Kṛṣṇa, as God, He demanded that sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). But people misunderstood Him. Therefore Kṛṣṇa again came as guru and taught people how to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.
