Wow
I must say adhikar or eligibility, to exercise that, should not be construed as racists or what ever.
No one takes issue when certain criteria is applied to gain entry in to a university .
Vernashram (I hope this does not turn in to another debate) is the very fabric on which the whole hindu dharma has and will be maintained. There were constrained within each varna, rules and regulation so what to speak of those who are outside of it, what adhikar do they have? Who can judge their criteria?
I have heard many say, oh yes are they not doing a great job spreading the truth? To them I say what is there to spread? Is truth something one can purchase in the street ? No, it is for imbibing in one self, it is not some thing one can distribute like the Muslims and Christians do.
Prabhupad made thousands of devotees whom he even never met, yet gave them diksa made them Brahmins by way of tape recoding mantra diksa!!! what was the result, Americans devotees had to declare them self bankrupt due to litigation they faced for abuse.
I have witness few Gurus fall from grace in the UK, now they dont have a picture of current guru in the temple simply because they have seen all those were there before, disgraced themselves.
Having said all this, this is Kali yug, yug dharma is to chant the holy names, for that there is no bar to any one. What does Krishna says;
Even if the most sinful person resolves to worship Me with single-minded loving devotion, such a person must be regarded as a saint because of making the right resolution. (9.30)
Such a person soon becomes righteous and attains everlasting peace. Be aware, O Arjuna, that My devotee never perish. (9.31)
Note, he is saying they soon become righteous, nothing about becoming Brahmins or Acharya, why would they want this status? Having not studied the Vedas, (it requires dedication discipline from very young age) yet this guys have goal to denigrate Hindu gurus, as not authentic this does disturb me.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
