[2][19] Experiencing an increase in psycho-physical distress, a waning interest in materialism, and a deepening commitment to “Truth or Bust”, he dropped out of college in November 1971.

Reading Be Here Now (book) and encountering Rudra dās in Madison, Wisconsin led Kevin to the Hare Krishna movement, which he joined in February, 1972.

In September 1972, he received Harer Nama diksha initiation from his guru, A. C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmi Prabhupāda at the rural ISKCON compound just outside Moundsville, West Virginia.

[22] In 1973, Kailāsa's skill and dedication were formally recognized: His guru sent a congratulatory letter to the Evanston, Illinois temple president for the success of its college preaching campaign.

Kailāsa secured Brahminical initiation from, and private darshan with, his spiritual master in July, 1974; this was while serving at the Evanston temple.

[26][27] Asked by a leader of that reform group, Kailāsa was the devotee who compiled a lengthy position paper against the zonal acharya system.

Kailasa traveled with him throughout America, in his godbrother's converted van, during the summer and early autumn of that year, finalizing the edited work.

[4][3] In the following quote, he depicts the importance of exposing such deviations: Based in no small measure upon deductions rooted in Srila Prabhupāda’s teachings, this document will work to concentrate the mind.

The psychic shackles will fall off, and you will experience a natural freedom of mind and intelligence conducive to the development of genuine Krishna consciousness.

[38] Kailāsa's ministry emphasizes the threats of congregationalism, institutionalism, party-spirit factionalism and truth-diluting “unity” collaborations to the Krishna consciousness movement and the need to discriminate between bhakti-driven by sentimentality and authentic sadhana founded upon the shastra of previous spiritual masters.

[39][40] His critiques have led to harsh criticisms from some Gaudiya circles, including “ISKCON Truth”, ISKCON Revival Movement, et al.[41][42] The Vaishnava Foundation aims to promote Krishna consciousness in the pristine form presented by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmi Prabhupāda and to prophetically expose and oppose deviations in the Krishna consciousness movement which have arisen since his disappearance.
