TEXT 40

vṛndāvana yāite prabhu rahilā kāśīte

māyāvādi-gaṇa tāṅre lāgila nindite

SYNONYMS

vṛndāvana — the holy place called Vṛndāvana; yāite — while going there; prabhu — Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; rahilā — remained; kāśīte — at Vārāṇasī; māyāvādi-gaṇa — the Māyāvādī philosophers; tāṅre — unto Him; lagila — began; nindite — to speak against Him.

TRANSLATION

While Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu was passing through Vārāṇasī on His way to Vṛndāvana, the Māyāvādī sannyāsī philosophers blasphemed against Him in many ways.

PURPORT

While preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness with full vigor, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu faced many Māyāvādī philosophers. Similarly, we are also facing opposing svāmīs, yogīs, impersonalists, scientists, philosophers and other mental speculators, and by the grace of Lord Kṛṣṇa we successfully defeat all of them without difficulty.
