Damn Your Interfaith Garbage!

Aug 21, 2011 — USA (SUN) — Lord Krishna's Birthday is not the time for compromise.
The following article appeared yesterday on the BBC online news site:
Thousands arrive at Janmashtami Festival near Watford
"More than 60,000 people have attended the first day of a two-day Hindu festival in Hertfordshire to celebrate the birth of Krishna, organisers said.
Organisers of the Janmashtami Festival, being staged near Watford, say it is one of the largest festivals of its kind outside of India.
The festival at Bhaktivedanta Manor is organised by 1,500 volunteers and attracts many people of other faiths.
It includes dancing, music and drama, as well as free vegetarian food.
One of the leading figures in world Hinduism, His Holiness Swami Radhanath, who is at the festival, said he hoped it would promote religious understanding and tolerance.
He said: ‘Jesus taught to love God with all your heart, mind and soul is the first great commandment, and that's what all great spiritual teachers and great incarnations all teach.
‘And rather than fighting over sectarian views, if we understand the essence of our own religion we'll understand that essence within all religion.
‘And there will be respect and appreciation and love for each other.
‘That's the greatest need in this world.'
The festival has also seen the launch of the not-for-profit Ahimsa Dairy Foundation, which sells milk from cows who will be retired when their milking days are over.
In the Hindu faith, Krishna was the guardian of cows..."
Prabhus, what would Shrila Prabhupada think of such gutless, cowardly preaching that reeks to the intestines with unabashed mayavadism? This form of deception in the name of religion will only drive the final coffin nail into an organization that is meant for true world enlightenment. If the invertebrates of the GBC allow this sort of soft, dull-edged blasphemy to continue, then the Hare Krishna movement will be history. It has gone too far. When will they wake up and realize that Radhanath does not believe a word of his claptrap, but only engages in this interfaith correctness because it attracts wealth. Speaking what is agreeable to the ignorant masses allows him to bathe in the spotlight by posing as one of the world's great religious leaders. After all, as we see from this very interview, all religious leaders said the same damned thing. So the conclusion we leap to is that Radhanath is on par with Jesus, Buddha and the Holy Mother.
In truth, this sort of preaching is only aimed at purchasing some cheap temporary fame while the Founder-Acarya, who deserves all the credit, is sorely minimized by a corrupt and spoiled son with an illegitimate pedigree. It appears as though his rumored 80 million dollars is not enough for this self-aggrandising "world leader of Hinduism."
Why won't the GBC speak up against this outrage? Here's a hint from the online dictionary:
