Should a Guru allow his feet to be washed?

Should a Guru allow his feet to be washed?

When we read Caitanya Bhagavata and Caitanya Caritamrta there is no such mention , I think for Srila Prabhupada to teach Guru worship to allow it was for ok I just do not like it in anyone else.I find it disgusting when neophytes not free from lust anger and greed have their feet washed and worshipped.Srila Narayana Maharaja allowed it on few occasion ,but in Gaudiya math they make no big deal out of having the lotusfeet bathed it is with water Pancamrta is only for Visnu tattva ,I never read any of our acaryas allowed their lotusfeet to be bathed ,what to speak of modern Gurus who are at the most kanistha madhyama adhikaris

  But drinking the water from washing a “”pure devotee’s”” feet is beneficial to a bhakta’s progress in Bhakti. That I’m pretty sure of. Read it many times.

    Rajeev Lochana Das drinking from a kanistha engaged in sins will not help your bhakti

    (1) The dust of the lotus feet of pure devotees, enthusiatic devotional service, and service to the pure devotees of the highest order are the roots of the creeper of devotion.

    Rajeev Lochana Das if someone is advanced like Jada Thakura he took remnants of every Gaura Bhaktas prasadam and dust and foot water to drink , so eventually he was offered to drink Lord Caitanyas Carnamrta at Gundicha ...but in ISKCON so many Gurus that later was found to have sex with boys and men and women and what not ,drinking such water is a detriment to Bhakti..Gaudiya Vaisnava standard is you can drink the water from the lotusfeet of Any pure Vaisnava that daily chant 1 two or 3 lahks and pure in heart

Jesus Christ allowed Maria Magdalena to wash his feet, but Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples ,saying you will fulfill the mission of God so i wash your feet

Foot bathing and serving cakes looks weird for the outside world also and is bad for preaching

those who chant 64 rounds daily 120 rounds or more have to pure a heart to allow their feet to be washed ,they have humility
