Hare Krishna
I haven't come across such references (Verses) in my readings yet, except in the commentary sections. I would really appreciate if you any of you contribute, because it would be helpful in convincing my mayavadi friends.

Matthew 7:1-3
1Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged,
and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye
and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
haribol thank you dear devotees for contributing to the topic. It seems that we have deviated from the original topic, lets leave it here, or it'd be useless prajalpa.
jai shree krishna!
how sad it is that many people in this world think that they are religious or even saints.
because they are to proud and have stone hearts they never reach bhakty, despite all the effort.
there is no human mortal being more qualified to talk about criticizing then sri narada :
.
sri yudhishtira suprisedly asked sri narada ,
how its possible that sisupala and dhantavakra was not attacked by desease ,
being healthy after so many offences to sri krishna ?
.
in kaliyuga every religion has own irreligious principles following king arhat as sri shuka mentioned.
for example : christians and muslims killing animals for food, budhists dont accept original vedas,
and hindus accepted jain adharma and other new age spiritual paths based on sense enjoyment and economic progress.
saying that is not criticizing.
on another side vaishnava who dont see the same god present in all other religions,
criticizing and disrespecting all others way of adoring god, is envy on same god which he is adoring.
personalism and impersonalism are both aspects of the same lord sri krishna.
its good to notice in above sloka that offenders to god are likely to be attacked first by desease,
therefore vaishnava who avoiding to make offence to god is always healthy , without any doubt.
Hare Krsna Siddharth Pr
You are right. All great vaishnava acaryas have liberally disapproved the false religions, false conceptions, pretentious devotion and tried their best to remove all obstacles in allowing the mercy of Krsna to reach conditioned souls.
Nonetheless unscrupulous pretenders time and again try to misinterpret and misrepresent the simple teachings of devotion to god simply for their own deviant purposes.
Like even here this statement by Haridas thakur is said in a particular context. Context is that Haridas Thakur who was born in muslim family was chanting Hare Krsna. This was considered improper both by muslims and hindus. Muslims thought being muslim he should not chant Hindu god's name. Hindus thought our god's name is being contaminated by muslim. To enlighten them Haridas thakur said that Muslim god allah and hindu god Krsna are the same. So if hindus hate allah or muslim hate krsna then they hate their own god.
This teaching of Haridas Thakur is taken out of context and presented to save one's impersonalistic disposition. It is out of context because when Haridas Thakur said it to kazi, Kazi didnt know that Allah and Krsna are same. But in the context of this thread it already well known that Impersonal feature and Personal feature are different aspects of same Supreme absolute truth. Vaishnavas accept impersonal feature and serve personal feature. The envy of monists is such that they cannot tolerate the service to Krsna.
Of all the 18 thousand verses of Srimad Bhagavtam which sweetly glorify the loving service to Krsna, His pastimes, His personality, His qualities, His form etc there only a few verses which mention about the impersonal feature of Bhagavan. These few verses are being misquoted again and again to minimize all the personal features of Krsna which have been glorified by all vaishnavas in bhagavatam itself in thousands of verses.
This mentality of biased impersonalists to deviate from the natural conclusion of scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam, Upanishads has been disapproved by all vaishnava acaryas since centuries. Ramanujacarya defeated Yadava Prakash. Jiva gosvami defeated Rupa Narayana. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu defeated Sarvabhauma bhattacarya.
Brahman is incomplete understanding of Para brahman - Supreme absolute truth. Nobody can hate or love or criticize Brahman which manifests only the sat feature of Krsna. Vaishnavas serve Supreme personality of godhead Krsna/Vishnu with love and lord lovingly reciprocates with His devotees
Hare Krsna
in kali yuga almost all religions are improper or against the Vedic principles.
therefore real dharma doesnt exist.
only those who accepts all three aspects of god are actually knows the truth.
sri Haridasa said:
"All living entities in creation are inspired by the Lord in the heart to act in different ways. People of different religions praise the Lord's holy names and qualities according to the view of their scriptures. The Supreme Lord accepts everyone's mood. If anyone shows malice towards another's religion he actually shows malice to the Lord Himself, who is worshiped by that religion. Since God is one, that person becomes envious of the same Supreme Lord that he himself is worshiping."
