What was Srila Prabhupada's Position:
The Hare Krishna Movement and Hinduism
Jan Brzezinski (какой-то канадский профессор)

We have already seen that Prabhupada considered all 'faiths' to be prakrta or mundane, and that even the varnasrama system based on the laws of God ultimately had to be transcended in order to achieve the true purpose of religion, namely love of God. Inasmuch as others did not see this as the purpose of the Vedic religious system, he criticised them in various ways, both in general and in particular.

There were two aspects to this criticism, one related to behaviour (sad-acara), the other to ideas. He compared Hindus to Christians 'who admit they are Christian but don't follow the Christian principles.They accept Krsna but don't follow his instruction. They have lost their own culture and they want to imitate Western culture' (750309RC.LON). But worse, despite this departure from their own traditions, 'they are under the impression that they know everything and have nothing to learn from [the Krsna consciousness movement]' (70-05-27.TAM). Prabhupada's early experiences with Indian expatriates in America and England left him unenthusiastic about spreading Krsna consciousness amongst them. Instead, he told his disciples to concentrate their efforts on preaching to Europeans and Americans (68-09-29.GUR).

He says on one occasion that the Hindu religion is dead because it lacks philosophy and by sentiment alone was unable to attract those who had been hardened by material sense gratification.[20] Prabhupada would not allow Hindus to come and speak at ISKCON temples. There was a question of doctrinal purity. In India Prabhupada himself walked out of a Bhagavad-gita conference in Indore in 1970 when he heard Mayavadi[21] interpretations of Bhagavad-gita (Lilamrta, Vol. 4, 147-150). Mayavadis are offenders to Krsna (CC Madhya 17.129) and hearing from them causes 'everything to become spoiled' (CC Madhya 6.169).

Так что не индусы его очень уважали, а он их не очень уважал. Не вынес Майявады (школа адвайты Шанкарачарьи) - встал и ушел. Искажают Бхагавад-Гиту.

Prabhupada thus rejected the concept behind organisations such as the Arya Samaj because they accept only the original Veda and reject the other supplementary literatures to the original Veda as a pretext for pushing their own agendas which have little to do with the purpose of such important scriptures (TLC 24, 661216BG.NY) and because they deny deity worship (751007MW.DUR). He goes so far as to call them atheistic inasmuch as they accept Krsna as merely a great personality, but not God (740704BG.HON)[22] . He criticised the Ramakrsna Mission for posturing and suggested that their failure to attract westerners to seriously taking up 'Hindu' spiritual practices was because they were preaching Hinduism, rather than 'real spiritual culture'. However, most of all, he reproached Vivekananda for allowing sannyasis to eat meat, which goes against Hindu custom (7404214MW.HYD, 760108MW.NEL).

Прабхупада был горячо против тех, кого столь уважали Рерихи. И Рамакришне досталось, и Вивекананде. Арья Самадж заклеймлено из-за того, что они в частности богослужения отрицают и не признают Кришну богом, а всего лишь личностью. Достойная причина.

Дальнейшие откровения:

Prabhupada vehemently protested the polytheism of Hinduism by which other gods are put on an equal level with Krsna. Even worse were the pantheistic ideas by which one can 'make one's own God'. He particularly held up to ridicule one follower of the Ramakrsna Mission who took this to the extreme of saying that 'even stool is God' (730711R2.LON, 770127R2.PUR).

Prabhupada blamed the Mayavadis and the politicians for killing the spirit of India. His view was that Mayavada preaching of pantheism and polytheism led people to diminish the importance of religion. Vivekananda was singled out as the beginning of Hindu downfall for his philanthropic idea of daridra-narayana.

Майявада убивает дух Индии. Вивекананда - вот начало падения индусов.

In private conversations, Prabhupada did not spare many of the great modern saints of Hinduism. They were mostly criticised for preaching the Bhagavad-gita while neglecting devotion to Krsna. He expressed dismay that 'Gandhi, Radhakrsna and other big acaryas of India do not believe in Krsna' (750305RC.NY).

и Ганди попал. Радхакришну не знаю.

Prabhupada was angered by conservative upper-caste Hindu opinion which would not accept his disciples as genuine Vaisnavas and brahmanas. He considered those that barred them from entering Hindu temples to be malicious.

индуисты его учеников в шею гнали из храмов-то своих. так что все правда.

О Прабхупаде:

Acknowledging his membership in the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya or Gaudiya Vaisnava disciplic succession, he happily identified himself as Gaudiya Vaisnava. However, his relationship with the larger entity known as Hinduism was rather less clear. In fact, he often overtly denied any connection to Hinduism at all: 'The Krsna consciousness movement has nothing to do with the Hindu religion or any system of religion' (SSR: 3). Another time he wrote: 'One should clearly understand that the Krsna consciousness movement is not preaching the so-called Hindu religion.' He could be even stronger in his judgement of Hinduism, calling it 'a dead religion' with 'no philosophy' (72-02-04.VAI) or 'a cheating religion' (731006BG.BOM).

Ну вобщем нда... я понял, что правы быле те, кто были правы, а не эти всхлипы о том, что все врут и оговаривают Прабхупаду и кришнаитов.
Опять тот же вывод: для рериховцев весьма сомнительное занятие восторгаться Прабхупадой и его учением. Рерихи в отличие от оного высоко ценили и Вивекананду, и Рамакришну. А теософы против адвайты с Шанкарой ничего не имели.
