One time an Iskcon devotee met an older guru of the Sankaracarya sampradaya (impersonalists).
Being respectful the devotee offered his pranams, as the etiquette is. The guru started giving him advice and initially said that he should read the Bhagavad-gita as this would certainly strengthen him.
The devotee respectfully brought the point about the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. After thinking for some time the guru said: “yes, this chanting would make you physically healthy”
The devotee again indicated the great expansion of the Hare Krishna movement all over the world based on the strength of the maha-mantra. And would this be due just to health benefits.
