Re: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta on the importance of chanting Gauraanga

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Please forgive me if I am being disrespectful, but  this post  brings up a question  for me.

How can we make a blanket statement and say that people who worship Radha but do not follow our line exactly are worshipping falsely?

Doesn't that presuppose that we know everyone else's innermost heart?

How can we say another person's worship of Radha is false?

To me, anyone who worships Radha is a friend. Granted, I might not want to follow their method of worship, but I wouldn't expect them to follow my method of worship either.

I can't expect that Gauranga would say that anyone who worships Radha is "false."  I think that Gauranga would be extremely happy if anyone thought of Radha and Krsna at all. Isn't that the reason Gauranga came here? To get all people to think about Radha and Krsna and chant their names?

Am I misunderstanding something you are saying?
