Being involved in the activities of the Don Cossacks, including religious, Nikolay Ivanovich Tarasenko was initiated into many religious doctrines, so in spite of his current recess in the Orthodox Church he can not divide God, because appreciates people and what they do in their quest for God. Ткаченко 2009: «initially he haunted the idea to build an All World's Religions Temple on the mount. But in view of the enormity of the problem this idea was abandoned. And be limited the symbols of every religion. So appeared Catholic chapel at first, then Buddhist stupa. A little later, the followers of the teachings of Babaji built the Temple of Fire. Tarasenko did not mind, though he remained faithful to the Orthodox Church. However ...

— At one time I had the initiation into many teachings — said the hermit. — Including into the Mapuche Indians. Communicated with Mormons, took refuge in Buddhism, I have a blessing on monasticism from Latin American Bishop Alexander. From Catholics received the blessing to wear white clothes. And I can not divide God. Whatever his name —- He's the only. For me the important people and what they do in their quest for God. People — all divine messengers, even if they do not know it. (первоначально ему не давала покоя мысль выстроить на горе Храм всех мировых религий. Но ввиду грандиозности задачи от этой идеи пришлось отказаться. И ограничиться символами каждой религии. Так на круче появилась сначала католическая часовенка, затем буддийская ступа. Чуть позже гостившие у него последователи учения Бабаджи построили здесь храм Огня. Тарасенко не возражал, хотя сам остался верен православию. Впрочем…

— В свое время я имел посвящение во многих учениях, — говорит отшельник. — В том числе и у индейцев мапучу. Общался с мормонами, брал прибежище в буддизме, имею благословение на монашество у латиноамериканского епископа Александра. У католиков получил благословение на ношение белой одежды. И я не могу разделить Бога. Каким бы именем Его ни называли — Он один. Для меня важны люди и то, что они делают в своем стремлении к Богу. Люди — все божественные посланники, даже если они об этом не знают.)»
