It stands to reason that Lord Krishna is present in all beings. There is no doubt about it. It does not stand to reason to insist on flouting rules/practices/traditions of thousands year old temples and hurting the feelings of millions of Hindus.
The respected Tantri is not arrogant, it is the Mantri who is arrogant. A temple is not a government office where all and sundry will fall at the feet of the Mantri.
