<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Srila Prabhupada of ISKCON fame never compromised even a tee-wee bit with Strict Gaudiya Vaishnavite life codes for those who converted to Vaishnavite Hinduism. THere were times when Srila Prabhupada was 'advised' that strict adherence to Vaishnavite lifestyle is impossibe for Americans and that he should 'americanise' his religion for mass acceptance by none other than the Beetles and Allen Ginsberg.. Prabhupada refused to bulge a bit.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So why exactly did he start praising Jesus and Hazrat Muhammad (that criminal SOB)?, since when did Gaudiya Vaishnavas start doing that?, I know other Hindus including Vivekananda did it too but the followers of these people don't get as self righteous as ISKCONites when it comes to diluting traditions and stuff but we see ISKCON doing the same kind of nonsense in praising Jesus and Muhammad but lecturing others about how they are Neo Vedantins and this and that.
