In an archival televised debate from the height of the American cult scare, deprogrammer Ted Patrick charges that Hare Krishna chanting is self-hypnosis producing 'mindless robots', while Hridayananda Das Goswami and Bala Vanta answer that ISKCON presents the documented oldest religion in the world, demand evidence for the charges, and counter that secular universities are the real coercive indoctrination.
