"People in India respect the RSIs, in other countries they respect prophets like Muhammad, in other countries they respect Christ, and elsewhere the inhabitants respect various native wise men. It is imperative that people in the country properly respect native saints, but no one, even if they can maintain their particular belief in the benefit of their own progress, should go to other places and preach that what their teachers have taught is superior to all other teachings. This does not provide any benefit to the world." Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Caitanya Siksamrita, Chapter one, first part
