ei-mate tāṅ-sabāra kṣami’ aparādha

Thus Lord Caitanya excused all the offenses of the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs and very mercifully blessed them with kṛṣṇa-nāma.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the mercy incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī calls Him the most magnanimous incarnation.
Although He regarded the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs as offenders to Kṛṣṇa, He forgave their offenses and mercifully blessed them with kṛṣṇa-nāma.
His example teaches preachers to encourage even opponents to accept Kṛṣṇa consciousness and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. We should respectfully follow His footsteps despite opposition.
