Question: In Bengali. Dear Guru Mahārāja!Please accept my respectful obeisances. When there is a devotee in the vyāsāsana, who is a senior devotee or a sannyāsī, but not Gurudeva, then what should we do when they enter? Your spiritual son, ŚacīputraAvatāradāsa

Guru Maharaj: When in doubt, we can get up,but generally, if one is not a guru or not a sannyāsī, then we don’t get up! But we may glorify that devotee, or bring attention to his entrance. If the person is a sannyāsī or is on the level of your guru, or the guru, then you may stand up.
