I have genuine questions for this community and hope someone can engage honestly. First are you actually Astik? Because the Vedas Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda are the actual shruti. Goloka Vrindavan as a destination, manjari bhava as a practice, the specific theology around Radha Krishna none of this appears in the Vedas, Mahabharata, or Ramayana. Your supreme texts are Bhagavat Purana and Bhagavad Gita. You use the word 'Vedic' as an aesthetic label while actually departing significantly from Vedic tradition. So are you Vedic or are you a post-medieval devotional sect presenting itself as ancient? Second your highest goal is eternal service in Goloka. But if Krishna is omnipotent and complete, why does he need my service? What does my eternal servitude add to an already perfect being? Is the highest human destiny just permanent slavery to someone who doesn't actually need you?
