From the Vedic perspective,   worshiping gurus as God blocks you from acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

It is a Guru Cult, i.e. believes in the worship of the Guru as the Supreme Deity. Guru belongs to the dualistic illusion whereas the 'Self' belongs to nondualistic reality.  

Worshiping anything belongs to the dualistic illusion keeps one in the domain of ignorance.

Those people who identify themselves as Gurus and disciple of some Gurus belong to religion and yoga because they are egocentric.

Religion and yoga is nothing to do with Advaitic wisdom because Advaitic wisdom is Soulcentric.

Never mix religion, yoga, and mysticism with Spirituality. Mixing religion, yoga, and mysticism are like mixing oil with water.

People worship there Guru as God such worship is barred by Vedas.  This is an unhappy religious development.

People must study the Sage and try to attain the same realization which he had. Let us remember that to deify a Gnani is to defy Gnana"

A Gnani’s view does not accord with the orthodox Advaitic attitude towards their Guru. Hindu religious literature is full of such aphorisms as: ~  

There is no higher deity than the Guru

The Guru is the ultimate Truth and Deity

God and Avatars (incarnations) are secondary to the Guru in importance

There is no higher refuge, no higher target,

no higher destination than the Guru

The Guru is God Himself’

 God and the Guru are one

One who makes a distinction between the Guru and God is ignorant and stupid and scores of similar others.

Vedas bars human worship:~

Translation 3

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."- (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Than why worship and glorify the GURUS and YOGIS (human form)   in place of God when Veda bars such activities and  it also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.:~Santthosh Kumaar
