Guru cannot be self-made. No. There is no such

single instance throughout the whole Vedic literature. And nowadays,

so many rascals, they are becoming guru without any authority. That is

not guru. You must be authorized. Evam parampara-praptam imam ra… As

soon as the parampara is lost, sa kalena yoga nasto parantapa,

immediately finished. The spiritual potency finished. You can dress

like a guru, you can talk big, big words, but it will never be

effective

This photo of the Lotus Feet of Govindaji from Jaipur is rather new, but this Deity is around 5000 years old !
He was installed by Vajranab the grandson of Lord Krsna. One day Rupa Goswami
saw a cow in Vrndavana supplying milk to the ground somewhere and thought
to excavate that site. He found this Deity of Govinda. He is magnificient !!
