mayavadi-gana tanre lagila nindite

SYNONYMS

vrndavana—the holy place called Vrndavana; yaite—while going there; prabhu—Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; rahila—remained; kasite—at Varanasi; mayavadi-gana—the Mayavadi philosophers; tanre—unto Him; lagila—began; nindite—to speak against Him.

While Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu was passing through Varanasi on His way to Vrndavana, the Mayavadi sannyasi philosophers blasphemed against Him in many ways.

PURPORT

While preaching Krsna consciousness with full vigor, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu faced many Mayavadi philosophers.

Similarly, we are also facing opposing svamis, yogis, impersonalists, scientists, philosophers and other mental speculators, and by the grace of Lord Krsna we successfully defeat all of them without difficulty.
