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.

Māyāvādī  sannyāsīs  neither chant nor dance. Their technical objection is that this method of chanting and dancing is called  tauryatrika , which indicates that a  sannyāsī  should completely avoid such activities and engage his time in the study of Vedānta.
