Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 25.35
Kṛṣṇa’s Personal Form Is Transcendental
“The Māyāvādīs do not recognize the personal form of the Lord as spiritual and full of bliss. This is a great sin. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s statements are actually factual.
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s movement especially aims at defeating the Māyāvāda conclusion about the Absolute Truth.
- The Māyāvādīs mistakenly consider the Lord’s form material, like the bodies of other living beings. The text calls this a great offense at His lotus feet.
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu explains that Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s form is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge. All Vaiṣṇava ācāryas accept this as the proper understanding of the Absolute Truth.
