Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
One should focus upon the destination for progress, which is to become Krsna conscious. This is the aim and end of all varṇas and asramas. However, if Viṣṇu is not worshiped, the followers of the varṇasrama institution manufacture some concocted God. Thus it has now become fashionable for any rascal or fool to be elected God, and there are many missionaries who have concocted their own gods, giving up their relationship with the real God. In Bhagavad-gita it is clearly said that one who worships the demigods has lost his intelligence. Nonetheless we find that even an illiterate person who has lost all intelligence is elected God, and although he has a temple, it has meat-eating sannyasis, and many polluted activities go on there. This type of religious system, which misguides its poor followers, is strictly forbidden. Such pretentious religions should be stopped altogether.
