Srila Prabhupada, my spiritual teacher used to say, if we have got wrong understanding about God or Religion then we should not abandon God or Religion; instead we should work towards getting the right understanding, just like if we have cataract in our eyes, we ask the doctor to remove the cataract and not the eyes!!

We are not teaching some ritualistic process, that “You become Hindu. You become Christian. You become Muhammadan.” We are simply teaching, “You try to love God. You have forgotten God.

You will be happy.” This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
