<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Talk with Bob Cohen -- February 27-29, 1972, Mayapura|Talk with Bob Cohen -- February 27-29, 1972, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Bob: Lord Caitanya, He was not a guru, He was different than guru?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's guru.</p>
<p>Bob: Lord Caitanya, He was a different type of guru than you were?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Guru cannot be different types. All gurus are of one type.</p>
<p>Bob: But He was, was He also an incarnation at the same...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, but He is representing as guru.</p>
<p>Bob: I see.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Bob: And then.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because Kṛṣṇa, as God, He demanded that sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). But people misunderstood Him. Therefore Kṛṣṇa again came as guru and taught people how to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Doesn't He say in the Bhagavad-gītā, "I am the spiritual master"?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Doesn't Kṛṣṇa say "I am the spiritual master"? In Bhagavad-gītā it says...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, He's the original spiritual master. Because He has accepted spiritual master of Arjuna. So what is the difficulty? Śiṣyas te 'haṁ śādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannam ([[Vanisource:BG 2.7|BG 2.7]]). "I am your disciple." So unless He's spiritual master, how Arjuna becomes His disciple? He's the original guru. Tene brahma hṛdā ādi-kavaye, in the Bhāgavata. That He gave instruction about Vedas in the heart of Brahmā. So He's guru.</p>
