It is good to see also that you have printed up some mahamantra
handbills. Your enthusiasm to preach will be appreciated by
Krsna.
Regarding RK: no doubt he said some good things which he may
have picked up here and there. But some of his teachings were
very bad. For instance, he taught that meat-eating is not bad and
personally ate meat even as a “sadhu.” By mixing apparently
good teachings with nonsense concocted ideas he has confused
many good people including yourself. He also said “yata mat tata
path”—“As many opinions, that many paths” which is directly
opposite to Krsna’s instruction, “mam ekam saranam vraja”—
“surrender unto Me only.”
There is much more which could be said about this but in brief I
request you to understand that RK and V were both cheaters and
that no bona fide Vaisnava (Gaudiya, Sri, Madhva or whatever)
accepts them.
Now this is a test for you. Are you ready to accept Krsna’s
instruction: “sarva dharman parityajya” or will you remain
attached to this so-called RK?
Please refer to Prabhupada’s indirect references to the RK
mission as follows (see the purports) : Gita 10.42, Bhagavatam
7.15.14, 7.15.37, 4.27.11, 3.15.19, 4.19.22, 6.18.19, 8.16.55, Isopanisad

soul, no doubt, and is doing valuable service; but may need
