Text 128] The Lord Travels to Vrndavana 67
TRANSLATION
“Although he spoke Your name three times, he did not utter the name of
Krsna. Because he uttered Your name in contempt, I was very much aggrieved.
PURPORT
Prakasananda Sarasvati vilified and blasphemed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Words like brahma, caitanya, atma, paramatmd, jagadisa, isvara, virat, vibhu,
bhamé, visvarapa and vydpaka all indirectly indicate Krsna. However, the chanter
of these names is not actually attracted to the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Krsna and His transcendental pastimes. One may get a little light from these
names, but one cannot understand that the holy name of the Lord is identical
with the Lord. One considers the Lord’s names material due to a poor fund of
knowledge. Mayavadi philosophers and the paficopdsakas cannot in the least
understand the existence of the spiritual world and the blissful variegatedness
there. They cannot understand the Absolute Truth and its spiritual varieties —
name, form, qualities and pastimes. Consequently they conclude that Krsna’s
transcendental activities are maya. Due to this, one has to directly cultivate
knowledge about the holy name of the Lord. Mayavadi philosophers do not know
this fact, and therefore they commit great offenses. One should not hear anything
about Krsna or devotional service from the mouths of Mayavadi impersonalists.
