Radhe Radhe! How much benefit does one derive when he listens krsna katha from a bogus guru? 1% 5% or how much because today time its very very very difficult to get a genuine guru. any one covers himself with a saffron dress & begins to give lecture & then one day we realize "another bogus guru"

Hare Krishna,
Krishna consciousness is not a mechanical process, so we cannot judge about the % thing which you have asked about.
Anyway, Srila Prabhupada says, if somebody wants to be cheated, he will be sent to a cheating guru. But who would want to be cheated? The people who don't want to follow the rules of God.
People who want to do sense gratification in the name of spiritual life are sent to these bogus gurus by Krsna Himself.
But someone who genuinely wants to practice spiritual principles are sent to bonafide gurus by Krsna Himself.
So Krsna is present as paramatma who can understand whether someone wants to get cheated or is really in need of Truth.
Ys.
hearing is the most important way of advancing and at the same time the most powerful way for degradation.
Sound is very, very powerful.
If we do hear dirty sound which is coming out from the dirty source then our heart also will be come dirty. but when we hear pure sound things will go accordingly.
In this way Prabbu KA Prabhu was correct better to die rather than to die spiritually by hearing poisonous lectures and offenses towards the Lord and His Devotees.
Your servant,
I better choose to drink poison and die instead of listening to a bogus guru.
The very fact that if you know someone is bogus, why listen about Krsna from him ?
Devotees don't listen about Krsna in anticipation of any benefit from the task. It is in sheer pleasure for the Lord that one speaks about Him and one listens about Him.
