I think we should open a separate thread to discuss possible splinter groups like Ramakrishna mission, Divine Life Society, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Sai Baba etc...
Since they have the potential to break apart from mainstream Hinduism and possibly cause havoc like former splinter groups like Buddhism, Sikhism and Arya Samaj.
The process of breaking apart first starts as a "reform movement", supposedly to fix some problems in Hinduism.
Next, it undergoes the process of monotheization, where the scoudrels claim their religion is also monotheistic like Xtianity and Islam. And they try to distance themselves from Hinduism.
Then the next generation of converts having grown up in the new nonsense sect starts claiming itself as a separate religion.
Finally, many generations down the line the descendants no longer find satisfaction in their new religion and become prey to predatory religions like Islam and Xtianity.
This is what is happening to Sikhs living in the west who are converting to Xtianity or Islam.
The same thing happened in Korea, where Buddhism first stealthily crept in and destroyed the native Korean religion. Now the place has been overrun by missionaries and has become a Christian majority nation.
