Sanātanis should nvr allow our audārya (munificence) to be our weakness.
Anāryas adumbrate day and night about Veda but in spite of ~150 years of existence of their "gurukulas", the ones who preserve veda in its original form are idol worshipping sanātanis.

The same ones the anāryas abuse every day. If their org is so dedicated to Veda, why doesn't it have an army of ghanapāṭhis? The answer is this - It takes nothing to utter sweet nothings for veda. It takes a total diff level of commitment to commit veda to memory.
Most of their so called scholars will need the help of books to do even a pārāyaṇa of veda. Even here their prowess is terribly limited.
A few years ago a set of Anāryas formed a new org in Bangalore with the aim of publishing all vedas with kannaḍa translation.

For publishing sāmaveda they came asking my ācārya. Because they knew my ācārya as someone who had published books on it.
Ācārya told them that the sāmaveda is composed of both arcika saṃhitā and gāna saṃhitā. They wanted only arcika because it is composed of Ṛks and it is

here that their learning of twisting and distorting veda mantras primarily using vyākaraṇa comes of use. The gānas are not amenable to such pursuits. In spite of their hackneyed stance my ācārya cooperated unilaterally and gave what they wanted.
Then came the issue of including bhāṣyas. Here, in spite of the new org having a neutral name, they flatly refused to include any bhāṣya other than that written by their "scholars".
"For saṃhitā, you give us what you have, because it is 'service of veda'. But for bhāṣya, we don't want our books to be 'polluted' by Sāyaṇa, Mādhava or Bharatasvāmī."
This was their stand in summary.
This is the state of mind of the highest functionaries of the org.

That too undr neutral label. They talk all milk and honey about how important it is to unite Hindus. But when it comes to nitty gritty they are extremely inflexible even at an intellectual level. They will not tolerate anything apart from what their misguided founder wrote.
