Old is gold! Why is it so also in regard to dharma?

Old is gold, also in regard to dharma. 
Here the modern world's the most emminent sage Srila Prabhupada explains, to what should we call as the religion? Listen this from Bhagavad Gita As It Is chapter 4 verse 3. Who can understand it in the perfect way it was meant to, by the Lord Krishna? You will get all the answers.
Currently the Hare Krishna movement is looked down and chanting the mahamantra is interpreted as primary exercise by a few followers of so called Manav Dharma founded by Sri Satpalji maharaj. They suggests instead to chant the 'unspeakble premordial name' of whom? known to only themselves. Prabhupad explains here the absolute truth, that will be good for all the human beings if looking for the truth alone from the authentic sources. The text and the purport of this verse is also reproduced below.
Chapter 4. Transcendental Knowledge
TEXT 3
sa evayam maya te 'dya
yogah proktah puratanah
bhakto 'si me sakha ceti
rahasyam hy etad uttamam
SYNONYMS
sah--the same ancient; eva--certainly; ayam--this; maya--by Me; te--unto you; adya--today; yogah--the science of yoga; proktah--spoken;puratanah--very old; bhaktah--devotee; asi--you are; me--My; sakha--friend; ca--also; iti--therefore; rahasyam--mystery; hi--certainly; etat--this; uttamam--transcendental.
TRANSLATION
That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science.
PURPORT
There are two classes of men, namely the devotee and the demon. The Lord selected Arjuna as the recipient of this great science owing to his becoming the devotee of the Lord, but for the demon it is not possible to understand this great mysterious science. There are a number of editions of this great book of knowledge, and some of them have commentaries by the devotees, and some of them have commentaries by the demons. Commentation by the devotees is real, whereas that of the demons is useless. Arjuna accepts Sri Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and any commentary on the Gita following in the footsteps of Arjuna is real devotional service to the cause of this great science. The demonic, however, concoct something about Krsna and mislead the public and general readers from the path of Krsna's instructions. One should try to follow the disciplic succession from Arjuna, and thus be benefited.

Few predictions for the modern time kali age from the Vedic scripture Bhagavatam

In the last canto of the Bhagavata Purana there is a list of predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the present age of Kali Yuga. The following 15 predictions, written 5,000 years ago by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing because they appear so accurate. Despite the negative tone of these prophecies, there is still one bright spot for all of us, which is mentioned at the end. Prediction 1: Religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day becaus of the powerful influence of the age of Kali. Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.1 sri-suka uvaca tatas canu-dinam dharmah satyam saucam ksama daya kalena balina rajan nanksyaty ayur balam smrtih Prediction 2: In Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man's good birth, proper behaviour and fine qualities. And law and justice will be applied only on the basis of one's power. Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.2 vittam ev...

Manav Dharma of Satpalji Maharaj will be better only IF they follow Krishna Consciousness also

OPINION By elevating yourself to Krishna Consciousness your goal of having a human form of life will be attained easily and quickly as you would qualify to get into the kingdom of God. On the earth too, you will live  in peace of mind.There is not other authentic quick and easy way. Every one needs peace and thus the human races has been in search of peace and happiness all the time. They are looking for the methods that would hopefully enable them attain peace mentally and physically. In the process some look out for the ascending order of methods, some the descendeing order. Both deserve equall respect although one method would be more beneficial and easy than the other depending on the individual themselves. The perfect wisdom to accept for peace or liberation is the descending process of wisdom. This means the proces of attaining peace and happiness by accepting the wisdom that is given by the absolute creator, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This wisdom ...

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His Mission- The Sankirtan

Vedic wisdom has begun to unfold to undertstand in its right way only after Lord Krishna appeared on earth as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, manifesting in Him the display of true love of  a pure devotee.   His Holiness Bhakti caru Swami Maharaj  explaines to the hundreds of exalted devotees, the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, excerpt in short . Listen audio here   What is the difference between Krishna and Vishnu? How many of you know the difference between Krishna and Vishnu. Who is Vishnu? Vishnu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Who is Narayana? Narayana also is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But who is Krishna? Krishna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead from whom all the incarnations have become manifest. So Vishnu, Narayana, Narsimha, Varaha, Kurma - they all are expansions of Krishna. But the thing is there is no difference between Krishna and His expansions. This expansion takes place like one to two, to four, to five, six, seven, eig...
