"My Guru Maharaja was called 'Living Encyclopedia'', he could talk with anyone on any subject. He was so learned -- so we should be like that as far as possible. No compromise -- Ramakrishna, avataras, yogis, everyone was enemy to Guru Maharaja -- he never compromised. Some God-brothers complained that this preaching was chopping technique and it would not be successful. But we have seen that those who criticized, they fell down. For my part I have taken up the policy of my Guru Maharaja -- no compromise. All these so called scholars, scientists, philosophers who do not accept Krsna are nothing more than rascals, fools lowest of mankind etc."
(Srila Prabhupada letter, July 27, 1973)
