<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Interview with Newsweek -- July 14, 1976, New York|Interview with Newsweek -- July 14, 1976, New York]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Interviewer: Is there any method for dissent within your movement? Or change?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Reform, you mean? Changing the teaching perhaps, to fit the times?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Just like in the church, as the public mood is changed, they have compromised on certain issues like abortion, homosexuality, priests getting married. So she wants to know if in our movement there will be this arrangement also. (laughter)</p>

But that is eternal fact. Destined in the past present and future, everything.</p>
