984 Stimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 24

embarrassing transcendental fraud in the name of sannyasa. The sannyasi’s
business is not to become proprietor of so many things and amass money
from the innocent public. A sannyasi is proud that he is always thinking of
Krsna within himself. Of course, there are two kinds of devotees of the
Lord. One is called gosthyanandi, which means those who are preachers
and have many followers for preaching the glories of the Lord and who
live amongst those many, many followers just to organize missionary
activities. Other devotees are dtmanandi, or self-satisfied, and do not take
the risk of preaching work. They remain, therefore, alone with God. In
this classification was Kardama Muni. He wanted to be free from all
anxieties and remain alone within his heart with the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. Parivraja means an itinerant mendicant. A mendicant sannyasi
should not live anywhere for more than three days. He must be always
moving because his duty is to move from door to door and enlighten
people about Krsna consciousness.
