Sounds a little funny that you might consider that things established in

Srila Prabhupada's presence at his "home" in Vrindavan might be mistaken?

 

But... well, maybe I'm wrong in this assumption? I don't claim to be

perfect.

 

But Mahaman Prabhu's logic, if indeed the system has been established

directly under the supervision of HDG SP, then holds true.

 

Hope this meets you well.
