HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupāda:
But I don't see that they have made one single kṛṣṇa-bhakta, neither they were kṛṣṇa-bhakta. What kind of Bhagavad- gītā they have read I do not know. I see by the result. Last word of Bhagavad-gītā is man-manā bhava mad-bhakto... (BG 18.65). Mām eva... Sarva-dharmān. That is study of Bhagavad-gītā. They do not speak of Kṛṣṇa anywhere, that "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Person, you become a devotee." Now how he has read Bhagavad-gītā? I shall take it? Simply by jugglery of words? We have to see the result. They have neither made one kṛṣṇa-bhakta, neither they were kṛṣṇa- bhakta. How he has read Bhagavad-gītā? Tell me. This is the test. They... Whole country is after Gandhi or Aurobindo or big, big... But who is kṛṣṇa-bhakta under their direction? Now we are simply following Caitanya Mahāprabhu, yāre dekha tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'- upadeśa (CC Madhya 7.128). Just see. Thousands are become kṛṣṇa-bhakta. See by practical.
