Expansions of Advaita Ācārya

title  gosvāmī  upon a householder. Although all the  sannyāsīs  we have initiated in ISKCON are young, we have awarded them the titles of the renounced order of life,  svāmī  and  gosvāmī , because they have completely dedicated their lives to preach the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura mentions that not only do the householder caste  gosvāmīs  disrespect the title  gosvāmī , but also, following the principles of the  smārta  Raghunandana, they exhibit great foolishness by burning a straw image of Advaita Ācārya in a  śrāddha  ceremony, thus acting as Rākṣasas and disrespecting the cause of  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa , which is the guide for Vaiṣṇavas. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura says that sometimes these  smārta  caste  gosvāmīs  write books on Vaiṣṇava philosophy or commentaries on the original scriptures, but a pure devotee should cautiously avoid reading them.
