Dr Robert´s latets video is (somewhat surprisingly) about the sectarian Krishnaite sampradaya known as the Pushtimarga. Apparently, his Aghora guru Vimalananda was from a Pushtimarga family. Despite the Aghori and the Pushtimarga being completely different traditions (to put it very mildly), Vimalananda introduced Robert to the latter.
The doctor visited a number of Pushtimarga temples. They are dedicated to Shrinathji, a form of Krishna as a boy lifting Govardhan Hill. Enormous amounts of candy are offered to the idol at festive occasions. Ahem, where do I sign up? ;-)
