As far as so called 'scriptural evidences' are concerned, then the HK world does not recognize anything that is not labeled 'bonafide' and line with their philosophy. May it be then Vedic, puranic or Upanashid verses. They would accept selected quoted from Padma Puran, but discard Shiva Gita part of Padma Purana as concocted just because it does not meet their philosophical needs. Similarly Bhagvat Gita is accepted - a part of Mahabharata, but when Krishna himself describes about Shiva in Anushasana Parva, they ignore and at times reject it.
Attachment to one's deity is fine. But the effort to remold the whole Vedic Sanatan Dharma literature and culture according to Gaudiya Vaishnavism's fancies and projecting to the rest of the world that this is the only proper way and Hinduism is hodge podge BS, is not acceptable.
And frankly speaking, in spite of the nice bhakti shashtra lectures and bhakti vibes and devotion, the HK community has and will always be in conflict in most societies, because of this approach that sounds over boastful at times.
Its a society based more on propaganda sadhna than Self/God realization sadhna. Learning to preach to others has become the aim. Not learning to realize here.
Hello,
Dear YK, I agree with your points, more or less. Yadus are very proud but pride is no good.
The point has been made, now let's do sadhana and wash away all aversions.
Regards
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
