Ritvikism is undoubtedly Bogus, If it were possible I would be Srila Prabhupada's disciple but he had departed in 77, I took too long, and I am not! For me this is a question of misunderstanding the scriptures. The best example of Ritvikism gone wrong to the nth degree is the Roman Catholic Church.
