IMHO, the white monks from Hawaii are legit, unlike ISKCON
They have never denied that they are Hindus, are always against xtian missionaries and had several good
articles on persecution of Hindus

I agree. From your words 'white monks' in your earlier post, I inferred differently. I have been following Kauai Monastery online for a year or two now; and find them championing for all the 'right' causes. Though they have a strong Srilankan Shaivite tradition, their books, pamphlets, India's history (for 6th graders is par excellence) are sect-agnostic.
Sorry for going OT.
