Why ask me, if that is really so? This is a discussion and reviling that
one cannot understand this or that is not scientific inquiry.

:I don't think you read ARV, but there was an example posted there that
:Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati once made a mayavadi eat rotten mangoes
:until the guy would admit that it was _not_ all one.
I do not know if that means anything at all! Well, it is like making someone
walk all the land until he admits that earth is _not_ round, just because
he could not reach the starting place! In the quest for the Reality, it is
the inner experience that reveals insights, not outer forceful admissions
or even haranguing and not even pure logical argumentations.

:We accept several Vaisnava sampradayas.
That is fine. So you do not accept any thing other than Vaisnava sampradayas?
As you mentioned in the beginning of the posting, does it matter to the
status of Truth or Reality, if some one accepts something or not in any way?
Some of the greatest devotees like Markandeya, Kannappa were not from Vaisnava
Sampradayas and I do not understand this big griping about differences between
Sampradayas rather than focus on what one can learn from any and all of them.
