My personal view is complicated to share. PS: I have only shared things as per the scripture. Hence, people will undoubtedly have differing views regarding this and will give different remarks. In another answer Pradip has beautifully pointed out that one's duty and course of action is also determined by one's conscience. But others may say he is not a God just like you have cited that the Sankaracharya of some monastery has said.

At least, people who are benefited and helped by him from troubles will certainly consider and respect him as God. But after that, if he is the guru of someone or God realized himself (which he certainly is) then he can be considered as God by some. Siddhas are personalities who generally posses mystic powers. But the Godly powers and opulence may not be there as it is only a definition basing upon the Godly bliss he experiences. So by this definition, if someone is a God realized soul, then he is a God. Knower of Brahman becomes Brahman himself. So even though one may not be God as per the first definition of bhagavan above, he is certainly God for his followers and disciples.Īnd the scriptures also state that God realized souls who know Brahman become Brahman:īrahman vid brahmaiva bhavati One who has utmost devotion for God and as for God so also for the guru. Yasya deve parā bhaktiḥ yathā deve tathā gurau And as per the scriptures, the devotion, behavior and respect towards guru should be exactly similar as one would respect, treat and behave towards God: We all know this from gurur brahma gurur vishnu.

So from scriptural point of view he may not be God, but scriptures also say that guru is God Himself. Jñānavairāgyayoścaiva ṣaṇṇāṃ bhaga itīraṇā Ĭomplete splendor, virtue, glory, opulence, knowledge, dispassion - these six are known as bhaga. As per the scriptures God or bhagavan is someone who fulfills six qualities (complete splendor, virtue, glory, opulence, knowledge, dispassion) combinedly known as bhaga:Īiśvaryasya samagrasya dharmasya yaśasariśrayaḥ

It depends upon the perspective one analyzes him from.
