TRANSLATION

In all the revealed scriptures of Vedic culture, devotional service to Lord Krsna is
explained throughout. Therefore devotees of Lord Krsna do not recognize the pro-
cesses of philosophical speculation, mystic yoga, unnecessary austerity and so-called
religious rituals. They do not accept any process but devotional service.

PURPORT

Our Krsna consciousness movement follows this principle. We do not recognize
any method for spiritual realization other than Krsna consciousness, devotional
service. Sometimes we are criticized by groups following jfdna, yoga, tapas or
dharma, but fortunately we are unable to make any compromises with them. We
simply stand on the platform of devotional service and preach the same principles
all over the world.
