"gurutalpaga" ( or violator of guru's bed ) is a classified as a major sinner.
This was relevant when students used to stay at the "gurukul" for their studies till they were 25 or so. Their meals etc were prepared by gurupatni(s).
Here guru means any teacher of any subject teaching in a residential gurukul, not necessarily a spiritual master.
