    Yeah, I went and checked to make sure they weren’t aggressive or hostile before posting my comment. I think they are genuine, and they’ve responded to people who told them basically “wrong community” and then posted in a different community. I think there might also be a language barrier at work here. The particular “denomination” (not really a fitting world, but “sect” is loaded and “path” sounds hippydippy to most people) is in hard to pin down, but it sounds like a guru-centric Vaishnavite group with a lot of Christian influence in their morals. Hinduism doesn’t really have a lot of the “no sex!” Rules until Christianity influenced it, which is why I’m guessing a specific guru lineage and not just a general Vaishnavite family tradition. But, not an expert. Either way, I think they’re at least attempting to act in good faith
