However, one should not only stick to these modes of worship throughout all his life but take to the practice of yoga of truthfulness ( or any other out of 12), acquisition of knowledge and cultivation of virtues for further advancement. This is the holistic approach to spirituality. You were disappointed with ISKCON as they were unable to provide you this.

This is why I said in that other referenced thread that what I said was NOT up for discussion...even though here I am discussing it... simply because I KNOW what I know... others KNOW what they know and never the twain shall meet and so, if you have a way around that, I am all eyes.
Aum Namah Shivaya
