Namskāra everyone,
I'm reading the book, "From Krishna Cult to American Church...," by Michael James Gressett. It points out in a footnote on page 111, "It is unknown whether Prabhupada was aware of the meaning of this term for Christians, with its reference to agape in a symbolic meal. Prabhupada’s meals were very substantial, not merely symbolic, and the love was construed as love for Krishna, more than brotherly love—which was, in Prabhupada’s mind, a byproduct of the former."
My question is, how does this differ between ISKCON and "traditional western multiline sampradāya" temples (the latter meaning where you would find mostly Indian or nonwhites temple goers, like NRIs, in America)?
