Dec 22, 2015 at 4:05 comment added DanF @MichaelBloch "whether it is enough to have learned one mishna from a Rav to call him muvhak" - Offhand, it sounds like this would be the more accepted reason. It's comnsistent with what Pirkei Avot says (I think it's in 5th chap.) that even if someone learns one word, he has to call him his rav (among other terms.)
Dec 22, 2015 at 4:02 comment added mbloch @DanF I have now read the definition below of rabbi muvhak as the one one learned most from. There is actually a mahloket in the gemara (Bava Metzia 33a) as to whether it is enough to have learned one mishna from a Rav to call him muvhak, or whether one needs to have learned the majority of his wisdom. I believe the source for the halakhot of standing up comes from that gmara that says the scholars of Bavel stood up before each other
Dec 22, 2015 at 3:51 comment added mbloch @DanF Rebbi Muvhak means your rebbi, or your preferred rebbi. Similarly a talmid muvhak would be the preferred student of a rav, sometimes used when quoting something that a talmid says on behalf of his rav. Since it is said by his talmid muvhak one can believe him because he really knows what his rav meant. The questioner asks if you only need to stand for "your" rav or all rabbanim

Nov 20, 2015 at 19:13 comment added DanF Need to explain my intent on Shlita"h. In a recent local Jewish newspaper, I noticed a 2-page spread ad about a huge event to be attended by several rabbanim. Some had the shilta"h designation while others didn't. After asking my rav what "the deal" was, he explained that there are some politics involved regarding who is "shlitah-worthy". Seems the title is not exactly for everyone. No one ever called me "shlitah", and, considering the apparent responsibility such a title bears, I'm not in the least insulted.

Nov 20, 2015 at 15:02 comment added DanF Request to translate "Rebbi Muvhak". I think it means "famous"? At any rate, I think the halacha comes from "Hadarata p'nei zaken" - You shall glorify the face of an elder (which is "extended to mean "rabbis" or "wise men".) From my observation and practice, people stand for any rabbi, including ones we . they have never seen or heard of before. When Rabbi Pesach Krohn speaks, almost everyone stands for him. I don't know if he's considered "muvhak". I don't believe that he is a "shlitah". OTOH, when my shul rav walks in the room, I don't always stand for him, though, I guess I should!

this seems to actually be what you're asking. asking for all the halachos of something is probably too broad
