A well rounded documentary. Shows both sides of the story. Interesting to see that despite differences with the way they were brought up the devotees keep coming back. My visits to Iskcon temples in the UK and once at Bangalore, India have been enriched by witnessing the sincerity of western devotees. Beautiful, talented people living their lives on universal principles of love, non violence and devotion. We are vegetarian and look for hare krishna restaurants whenever we visit Europe (Eastern European cities can be a vegetarian's nightmare)
Of course, there is a bit of bigotry (which is so alien to the pluralistic tradition of India) when you hear Hare Krishna people preaching. Their books say there's no salvation if you don't accept Krishna as the supreme. I don't mind that because I don't have to agree with them to visit their temples. And other religions are so full of bigotry anyway.
in our Dharma there is one statement about God and guru is
Guru gobind singh do khare kake laguna pao , balihari guru aapne jo gobind diyo batayo .
Means if both God and guru is standing indront of u than 1stly u have to fall at the feet of guru not God bcz only the guru shows u the way to reach God. That's why guru is great .
This is sanatan Dharma.
Now comes to belief system ,u know our religion has not single God nor single book nor God message of what to do .if any divine entity comes to our land we still ask question to him . And bhagwadgita is answer of arjun question by God krishna .
Our Dharma just gives us method to reach close to God and experience beyond this world .
One more thing we worship sun , moon ,mountain ,ocean ,river , tree, snake almost everything that found in nature and when we meet to another person we bow down to him and said namaskar. This means we consider that God found in every particle of matter .
This is the way we give respect to each other and preserve nature .
That's all .
And sanatan Dharma talk about salvation I.e absolute freedom and there are 4 ways to achieve salvation - bhakti , gyan , karma, hath .and this hare krishna is the one of the bhakti ways , people is free to choose any path and they are also free to not choose any path and live luxury life . This is just one aspect of sanatan Dharma. Being a hindu even I don't know much thing about our Dharma bcz it is so much in detail .
Before understanding anything I don't know why people give their opinion .
It's better to 1st understand thing than comment .
