Absolutely. In fact, people with Guru Chandal who overcome it become extremely discerning. Having made mistakes through false beliefs, you develop wisdom others lack.

Will I always follow false teachers?

No. With awareness and remedies, you develop immunity to deception. Key: Learning from one bad teacher prevents ten more.

How long until the yoga effects stop?

With remedies: 6-12 months improvement. With behavioral change: 1-2 years significant shift. With spiritual practice: 2-3 years strong clarity. Continuous practice maintains clarity.

What's the difference between Guru Chandal and gullibility?

Guru Chandal = Astrological yoga creating tendency toward deception. Gullibility = Personality trait of believing too easily. Both can exist together, but Guru Chandal is the root astrological cause.
