Actually, not really. It's a lot easier for Dhruba to try to
"summarize" what he claims Krishna Susarla says than to actually
provide the evidence backing his "summary".
I've already mentioned it before, and I notice that Krishna Susarla
has already mentioned that nowhere is Gaudiya Vaishnavism "exclusive"
in the manner(s) which Dhruba states (either manner - both have been
shown to be wrong).
More importantly, there are two verses from the Bhagavad Gita which a
lot of Hindus seem to ignore - 9.23 and 9.24. I'll let everyone find
those in their favorite translations rather than post them here. The
Gaudiyas take those verses to say that Krishna is saying that He alone
is Supreme.
If that bothers people, then they can take it up with Whomever spoke
the Gita, right?
