By authentic I mean doing what one says. One of the qualifications of the spiritual leader is celibacy. He should have practised it. But he did not. Had he declared right in the begining he is Lord Krishna and he has a set of Gopikas around him with whom he has sex, it would have been fine , none of the devotees faith would have been shaken.

But he did not say so.

So many people feel outraged by his actions.
