Kare Yudi Dui Kare So It is described How he spoke it Yudi Dui Kare Kare Yudi means to join together Dui Kare He folded both hands As an expression of humble beseechment Humble request he was making What was the request he made Jagannath Kaiche Kariyache Nabhojan Aaji Sab Mahaprasad Kar Aswadan Jagannath Kaiche Just as Jagannath Kariyache Nabhojan So just as Jagannath has accepted the food Today

Khao Yaila Biksha Karaya Aacha Man Karayila So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu when he was requested in such a Humble and sweet way Devotional way Chaitanya Mahaprabhu agreed Etabali Pitha Paya And then all the Pitha Paya All the cakes and the condensed milk Products Sabha Khao Yaila He fed them all to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and all the associates Biksha Karaya and this way after he Gave them all the food Aacha Man Karayila He did Aacha Man for them He offered them water for Washing their hands, feet, mouth Aagya Magi Gela Gopinath Acharya Kailaya Prabhu Ran Nikat Aayila Bhojan Kariya So Aagya Magi then taking The permission Gela Gopinath Acharya Kailaya He went with Gopinath Acharya And Prabhu Ran Nikat Aayila He came to Mahaprabhu After taking his Bhojan Kariya, after taking his own lunch So first he personally served Lord Chaitanya Gopinath Acharya was also there and he was also Helping in serving the devotees After that both of them they went And they took their own meal Namo Narayanaya Bali Namaskara Kaila Krishner Matirastu Bali Gosain Kaila So Namo Narayanaya So Now this Is often a Greeting that is used by Mayavadis So Sarampattacharya He thought that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was also initiated in the Being initiated in the In the Advaitic School was also Advaitic Therefore he offered him a greeting according to Namo Narayanaya And now We may say why should Namo Narayanaya Be considered A Mayavadi greeting Isn't that the name of the Supreme Lord In fact Om Namo Narayanaya Is a very famous mantra For Lord Vishnu And that mantra Is One of the mantras that is celebrated As Ramacharya Distributed far and wide to people and It is very It is a mantra addressed to the Lord So why is it considered a Mayavadi greeting Because the point here is that This Om Namo Narayanaya Is not being offered to the Supreme Lord When it is offered to the Supreme Lord as a mantra That is wonderful, it is a bhakti mantra But here it is being offered To, it is offered When the Mayavadis greet They greet each other with this mantra The idea is that actually we are all Narayana Narayana and therefore I offer obeisances To you who are Narayana So they often, especially with Sanyasis they have the notion sometimes that Sanda grhan matrena Nar Narayana That once the danda is accepted Then grhan matrena Then one becomes a Narayana So that, so that's why this Mantra is considered A greeting One person greeting another By this mantra And offering obeisances, one person offering obeisances To another as if that And addressing the other person as Narayana is Mayavadi So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Although he was in the house Of Sarvabhattacharya He stuck to his principles And he replied May your May your consciousness Your heart, your mind be attracted To Krishna, may there be Attraction in Krishna for you This is the blessing that Devotees seek and share Becoming attracted To Krishna is Life's greatest fortune And to the extent We become attracted to him To that extent We can march onwards In our life happily without Becoming entangled by the temptations Of this world On hearing this So he started thinking in his mind That Vaishnava sanyasi ho This is Vaishnava sanyasi Vache ne jaaneela By this identification, by the words that he spoke In reply He understood that this is a Vaishnava sanyasi This is the way Vaishnavas greet each other Now it's interesting that Sarvabhattacharya Although he By his greeting is now revealing himself to be Mayavadi He Knew about The devotional symptoms of ecstasy As it was that He discerned that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was in the Sudipta Bhav, very exalted state of Krishna Prem So if somebody knows about Krishna Prem like this, exalted Levels of Krishna Prem, then how Can such a person be a Mayavadi Be an impersonalist, the point is That the impersonalists don't deny Krishna Bhakti They accept Krishna Bhakti and they can also Recognize The initial And the advanced levels of Krishna Bhakti But They often think that okay Like the famous Mayavadi Who states that There are different There are varying levels of intimacy With God So one is to think of God as a father Then you think of God as a master Then you think of God as a friend Then you think of God as a God as a child Then you think of God as a Amorous lover And this way you Move closer and closer to God So what is the Now the And then this Mayavadi says that And then at the highest level When there is a very great Closeness in each of these From thinking of God as a distant great father To consider God as an amorous lover God as one's bridegroom That Is a very exalted Level of intimacy but the most Intimate level is after that you realize that You are God, you are one with God So they accept That devotion That Bhakti is a means to Mukti And somebody is advanced in Bhakti Then they also understand this person is at advanced Spiritual advanced level but the most Spiritual advanced level they think is Is realizing one's One's oneness with God So in this way They actually Give Bhakti Respectful but Transitional Position On the spiritual hierarchy So how Sarvabhattacharya's conceptions Will change in a Dramatic and thrilling way Will be revealed In this chapter in your course We will continue in our next session.
