Many traditionalists find him a deviation from the true tradition, but as the moralizing and restricting quality of British domination penetrated more deeply into Indian culture, he found an audience. It is interesting in how it represents the culmination of medieval Vaishnavism overtaking the original traditions and then representing that to westerners (primarily Judeo-Christians) as the original or "pure" tradition. Vaishnavite deviations of Hinduism are much more palatable to westerners.
