I invited him to speak to me in the presence of a group of people—among which there were some Arya Samajists as well—and I asked him about this practice. He said: ‘Yes, what is wrong with this?’ When I heard him say this, all I could do was be astonished. Other Hindus present began to chant out the name of Rama in approval. When I heard this, I told them that I had heard enough and they could leave.
