1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

We do not make any compromise. Vivekananda went there. He came back. He said, "What is the wrong in meat-eating?" He introduced meat-eating amongst his contemporary sannyāsīs. This is his Vedānta-pracāra. So he is advertised that he preached Vedānta all over America, and everyone has become Vedāntist. What is . . .? What kind of Vedāntist? Now, he introduced meat-eating amongst the sannyāsīs, which was never in India, any . . . there are two sets of sannyāsīs: the Śaṅkara-sampradāya and Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya.

Prabhupāda: Chandra Swami, has strongly recommended that, "This is the only movement which is converting Christian into Hindu." He is pleased on this account. He is not interested our Hare . . . he has said that, "I am not very much interested in Hare Kṛṣṇa, but I am interested in this point." That is natural, that nobody could convert the Christian to Hindu, but this movement is doing that.

Yaśomatīnandana: That is indirectly accepting Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that's a fact. We do not make any compromise. Vivekananda went there. He came back. He said, "What is the wrong in meat-eating?" He introduced meat-eating amongst his contemporary sannyāsīs. This is his Vedānta-pracāra. So he is advertised that he preached Vedānta all over America, and everyone has become Vedāntist. What is . . .? What kind of Vedāntist? Now, he introduced meat-eating amongst the sannyāsīs, which was never in India, any . . . there are two sets of sannyāsīs: the Śaṅkara-sampradāya and Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya. But their ācāra is the same. They may differ in philosophy, but their ācāra is the same. Rather, the Śaṅkara-sampradāya sannyāsī are more strict than the Vaiṣṇava sannyāsī. Śaṅkara sampradāya sannyāsī, they'll never occupy a seat, those who are strictly following. They'll sit down on the floor, without any āsana. They lie down on the floor. They are so renounced. And what is this, that sannyāsī smoking and drinking? And ordinary sannyāsīs, they are drinking also tea, one ghara. I have seen it.

Bhava-bhūti: Now Rajneesh gives sannyāsī and sannyāsinī.

Prabhupāda: Ācchā, yes. Sannyāsinī, woman sannyāsī.

Yaśomatīnandana: It's just a mockery. He's not making any sannyāsī. He's not sannyāsa, he just gives name sannyāsa.

Hari-śauri: Neo-sannyāsa he calls it.

Prabhupāda: No, no, they dress like sannyāsī.
