The Passing of Haridāsa Thākura
13
TRANSLATION
“Your role in this incarnation is to deliver the people in general. You have sufficiently preached the glories of the holy name in this world.”
PURPORT
Haridāsa Thākura is known as  nāmācārya  because it is he who preached the glories of chanting  hari-nāma , the holy name of God. By using the words  tomāra avatāra  (“your incarnation”), Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms that Haridāsa Thākura is the incarnation of Lord Brahmā. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura says that advanced devotees help the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His mission and that such devotees or personal associates incarnate by the will of the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord incarnates by His own will, and, by His will, competent devotees also incarnate to help Him in His mission. Haridāsa Thākura is thus the incarnation of Lord Brahmā, and other devotees are likewise incarnations who help in the prosecution of the Lord’s mission.
