Text 25] The Lord’s Return to Jagannatha Puri 121
therefore the spiritual master is as respectable as Sri Krsna Caitanya or Lord Visnu
Himself. For this reason the spiritual master is addressed as Orn Visnupada or
Prabhupada. The dcarya, the spiritual master, is generally respected by others as
Sripada, and the initiated Vaisnavas are addressed as Prabhu. Prabhu, Prabhupada
and Visnupada are described in revealed scriptures like Srimad-Bhagavatam,
Caitanya-caritamrta and Caitanya-bhagavata. In this regard, these scriptures pre-
sent evidence accepted by unalloyed devotees.

The prakrta-sahajiyas are not even worthy of being called Vaisnavas. They think
that only caste gosvamis should be called Prabhupada. Such ignorant sahajiyds call
themselves vaisnava-dasa-anudasa, which means the servant of the servant of the
Vaisnavas. However, they are opposed to addressing a pure Vaisnava as Prabhu-
pada. In other words, they are envious of a bona fide spiritual master who is ad-
dressed as Prabhupada, and they commit offenses by considering a bona fide
spiritual master an ordinary human being or a member of a certain caste. Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura describes such sahajiyas as most unfortunate.
Because of their misconceptions, they fall into a hellish condition.
