514 Sri Caitan ya-caritamrta

Lord Gaura instead of the names Radha and Krsna. Thus they purposely differen-
tiate between Lord Caitanya and Radha-Kssna. According to them, the system of
nadiya-nagari, which they have recently invented in their fertile brains, is the
worship of Gaura, Lord Caitanya, but they do not like to worship Radha and
Krsna. They put forward the argument that since Lord Caitanya Himself appeared
as Radha and Kysna combined, there is no necessity of worshiping Radha and
Krsna. Such differentiation by so-called devotees of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is
considered disruptive by pure devotees. Anyone who differentiates between Radha-
Krsna and Gaurdanga is to be considered a plaything in the hands of mya.

There are others who are against the worship of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, thinking
Him mundane. But any sect that differentiates between Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
and Radha-Krsna, either by worshiping Radhd-Kysna as distinct from Lord Caitanya
or by worshiping Lord Caitanya but not Radha-Kysna, is in the group of prakrta-
sahajiyds.

Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta, predicts in
verses 225 and 226 that in the future those who manufacture imaginary methods
of worship will gradually give up the worship of Radha-Krsna, and although
they will call themselves devotees of Lord Caitanya, they will also give up the
worship of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and fall down into material activities. For the
real worshipers of Lord Caitanya, the ultimate goal of life is to worship Sri Sri
Radha and Krsna.
