### CC Adi 7.40

> বৃন্দাবন যাইতে প্রভু রহিলা কাশীতে ।\
> মায়াবাদিগণ তাঁরে লাগিল নিন্দিতে ॥৪০॥

> vṛndāvana yāite prabhu rahilā kāśīte\
> māyāvādi-gaṇa tāṅre lāgila nindite

*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.

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

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.
