<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->We encounter one of the first instances of the Radical Universalist infiltration of Hinduism in the syncretistic teachings of Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833), the founder of the infamous Brahmo Samaj. A highly controversial figure during his life, Roy was a Bengali pseudo-intellectual who was heavily influenced by the teachings of the Unitarian Church, a heterodox denomination of Christianity.

In one of the editions of the mahAnirvAna tantra, Roy is mentioned as initiated into the tAntric rites by hariharAnanda sarasvatI and he even has a shaiva (tAntric) wife and a child from her.
When he died, they noticed that he is still wearing the yaGYopavIta.
The followers of Ramakrishna did indeed cause lot of damage.
