PURPORT

Like Mayavadi philosophers in the past such as Prakasananda Sarasvati of
Benares, modern impersonalists are not interested in Lord Caitanya’s Krsna con-
sciousness movement. They do not know the value of this material world; they
consider it false and cannot understand how the Krsna consciousness movement
