"From the originating Source, Complete Atmarama whole, so many lesser but complete look-alike infintesimal units emanate..." paraphrase, Sri Iso Upanisad.
Given two beautiful postcards of lotuses, is one necessarily more beautiful than another, or are they both but aspects of the Beauty? Similarly, the Hare Krsna Movement and our acarya, and the followers of any other pure devotees such as Srila B.V. Puri, will all have the taste of Radha Krsna pure nectar, but otherwise the flavor of their vision and philosophy will be unique, no two exactly the same.
The basics will of course be similar, but as Krsna is so great, no two devotees will see all of Him, nor see from the exact, or sometimes even similar, angle of vision due to internal eternal spiritual natures, as the other pure devotees do, but all are glorious and worshippable. Krsna says that even if His devotee errs, He accepts it as truth, and so it is.
Therefore, we should ideally learn to appreciate the different angles and intents of service and vision, just as we enjoy the variety of lotuses. Yet, we have our individual Guru, and so like loyal sons and daughters should always keep this, our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada's mission and goals, first and foremost in our attentions.
