Oh yes, it must be madhurya

Achyutananda: I understood from Srila Prabhupada that the spiritual master has a supernatural quality that is genuine in that when he speaks, everyone will hear it in their own way. He explained that whatever rasa you are, you will pick up on that and take to it. That is to be realized later. It was a tradition and system of giving siddha-pranali at the initiation up to Bhaktisiddhanta. But those disciples that came to the six Goswamis, Vishvanath Chakravarti, Jagannath das Babaji, and Bhaktivinode Thakur, were already very advanced Vaishnavas. They immediately understood the position of Krishna-tattva, Bagavat-tattva, so that all of their studies up till then fell into place, connecting the dots. Then a guru can tell you that you seem to have a dasya, sakya, vatsalya, madhurya rasa and give you an identity. Bhaktisiddhanta by that time of kali yuga’s onset did not give it that way. He presented the notion that “You are a servant and that with your practice and sadhana, your eternal identity would be revealed to you.” When I asked Sridhar Maharaj, “Can you tell me my guru maharaj’s rasa?” He said, “Yes, I can tell you but now I am feeling a little weak.” He made me wait a whole day and the next day I came to him and he started lecturing me. I said to him, “I thought you were going to tell me Prabhupada’s rasa.” “Oh yes, it must be madhurya because of his attraction to kirtan.”
