The new order needed understanding. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and his leading disciples including Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada were well educated in British led educational system’s and colleges, Prabhupada had great respect for his professors who he described as kind gentleman. Those who were political leaders were the ruthless ones , influences of businessman were deeply imbeded , they take profit at any cost , including cutting the thumbs of weavers
With education and communications of Western thinking it was been easy for our acaryas to bring Vedic Culures to the West , and transpose it into Western cultures and actually in todays world the Vedic sciences are becoming highly respected, both Niels Bohr and Erwin Schrödinger studied aspects of the Vedas dealing with consciousness.
The many possibilities of quantum physics tell of a responsive universe, the universe the Vedas defines.
