"Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura comments that <i>mukhya-vṛtti</i> (\"the direct meaning\") is <i>abhidhā-vṛtti,</i> or the meaning which one can understand immediately from the statements of dictionaries, whereas <i>gauṇa-vṛtti</i> (\"the indirect meaning\") is a meaning that one imagines without consulting the dictionary. For example, one politician has said that Kurukṣetra refers to the body, but in the dictionary there is no such definition. Therefore this imaginary meaning is <i>gauṇa-vṛtti,</i> whereas the direct meaning found in the dictionary is <i>mukhya-vṛtti</i> or <i>abhidhā-vṛtti.</i> This is the distinction between the two. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends that one understand the Vedic literature in terms of <i>abhidhā-vṛtti,</i> and the <i>gauṇa-vṛtti</i> He rejects. Sometimes, however, as a matter of necessity, Vedic literature is described in terms of the <i>lakṣaṇā-vṛtti</i> or <i>gauṇa-vṛtti,</i> but one should not accept such explanations as permanent truths.",
"The purpose of the discussions in the <i>Upaniṣads</i> and <i>Vedānta-sūtra</i> is to philosophically establish the personal feature of the Absolute Truth. The impersonalists, however, in order to establish their philosophy, accept these discussions in terms of <i>lakṣaṇā-vṛtti,</i> or indirect meanings. Thus instead of being <i>tattva-vāda,</i> or in search of the Absolute Truth, they become Māyāvāda, or illusioned by the material energy. When Śrī Viṣṇusvāmī, one of the four <i>ācaryas</i> of the Vaiṣṇava cult, presented his thesis on the subject matter of <i>śuddhādvaita-vāda,</i> immediately the Māyāvādīs took advantage of this philosophy and tried to establish their <i>advaita-vāda</i> or <i>kevalādvaita-vāda.</i> To defeat this <i>kevalādvaita-vāda,</i> Śrī Rāmānujācārya presented his philosophy as <i>viśiṣṭādvaita-vāda,</i> and Śrī Madhvācārya presented his philosophy of <i>tattva-vāda,</i> both of which are stumbling blocks to the Māyāvādīs because they defeat their philosophy in scrupulous detail. Students of Vedic philosophy know very well how strongly Śrī Rāmānujācārya's <i>viśiṣṭādvaita-vāda</i> and Śrī Madhvācārya's <i>tattva-vāda</i> contest the impersonal Māyāvāda philosophy. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, however, accepted the direct meaning of the Vedānta philosophy and thus defeated the Māyāvāda philosophy immediately. He opined in this connection that anyone who follows the principles of the <i>Śārīraka-bhāṣya</i> is doomed. This is confirmed in the <i>Padma Purāṇa</i> where Lord Śiva tells Pārvatī:",

"\"My dear wife, hear my explanations of how I have spread ignorance through Māyāvāda philosophy. Simply by hearing it, even an advanced scholar will fall down. In this philosophy, which is certainly very inauspicious for people in general, I have misrepresented the real meaning of the <i>Vedas</i> and recommended that one give up all activities in order to achieve freedom from <i>karma.</i> In this Māyāvāda philosophy I have described the <i>jīvātmā</i> and Paramātmā to be one and the same.\" How the Māyāvāda philosophy was condemned by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His followers is described in <i>Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā,</i> Second Chapter, verses 94 through 99, where Svarūpa-dāmodara Gosvāmī says that anyone who is eager to understand the Māyāvāda philosophy must be considered insane. This especially applies to a Vaiṣṇava who reads the <i>Śārīraka-bhāṣya</i> and considers himself to be one with God. The Māyāvādī philosophers have presented their arguments in such attractive flowery language that hearing Māyāvāda philosophy may sometimes change the mind of even a <i>mahā-bhāgavata,</i> or very advanced devotee. An actual Vaiṣṇava cannot tolerate any philosophy that claims God and the living being to be one and the same."

"It is stated in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā, īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ:</i> \"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, has a spiritual body which is full of knowledge, eternity and bliss.\" In this material world everyone's body is just the opposite—temporary, full of ignorance and full of misery. Therefore when the Supreme Personality of Godhead is sometimes described as <i>nirākāra,</i> this is to indicate that He does not have a material body like us.",
"Māyāvādī philosophers do not know how it is that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is formless. The Supreme Lord does not have a form like ours but has a spiritual form. Not knowing this, Māyāvādī philosophers simply advocate the onesided view that the Supreme Godhead, or Brahman, is formless (<i>nirākāra</i>). In this connection Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura offers many quotes from the Vedic literature. If one accepts the real or direct meaning of these Vedic statements, one can understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has a spiritual body (<i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ</i>)<i>.</i>",
"In the <i>Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad </i>[5.1.1] it is said, <i>pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate.</i> This indicates that the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is spiritual, for even though He expands in many ways, He remains the same. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Lord says, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate:</i> \"I am the origin of all. Everything emanates from Me.\" (Bg. 10.8) Māyāvādī philosophers materialistically think that if the Supreme Truth expands Himself in everything, He must lose His original form. Thus they think that there cannot be any form other than the expansive gigantic body of the Lord. But the <i>mantra </i>of the <i>Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad</i> confirms, <i>pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate:</i> \"Although He expands in many ways, He keeps His original personality.

Although there are many foolish Māyāvādī philosophers who think that they are even greater than Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is <i>asamaurdhva;</i> no one is equal to or above Him.",
"As stated in the <i>Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad</i> (3.19), <i>apāṇi-pādo javano grahītā.</i> This verse describes the Absolute Truth as having no legs or hands. Although this is an impersonal description, however, it does not mean that the Absolute Personality of Godhead has no form. He has a spiritual form which is distinct from the forms of matter. In this verse Caitanya Mahāprabhu clarifies this distinction."

"Unfortunately, people in general do not know what is to take place in the next life. To prepare oneself for his next life is common sense, and it is a principle of the Vedic civilization, but presently people throughout the world do not believe in a next life. Even influential professors and other educators say that as soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. This atheistic philosophy is killing human civilization. People are irresponsibly performing all sorts of sinful activities, and thus the privilege of the human life is being taken away by the educational propaganda of the so-called leaders. Actually it is a fact that this life is meant for preparation for the next life; by evolution one has come through many species or forms, and this human form of life is an opportunity to promote oneself to a better life.

"\"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods;those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me.\" (Bg. 9.25) Therefore, one may promote himself to the higher planetary systems which are the residence of the demigods, one can promote himself to the Pitṛloka, one can remain on earth, or one can also go back home, back to Godhead. This is further confirmed by <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9): <i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna.</i> After giving up the body, one who knows Kṛṣṇa in truth does not come back again to this world to accept a material body, but he goes back home, back to Godhead. This knowledge is in the <i>śāstras,</i> and people should be given the opportunity to understand it. Even if one is not able to go back to Godhead in one life, the Vedic civilization at least gives one the opportunity to be promoted to the higher planetary systems where the demigods live and not glide down again to animal life. At present, people do not understand this knowledge, although it constitutes a great science, for they are uneducated and trained not to accept it. This is the horrible condition of modern human society. As such, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the only hope to direct the attention of intelligent men to a greater benefit in life."

"It is a completely mistaken idea that one can worship Kṛṣṇa in any form or in any way and still attain the ultimate result by receiving the favor of the Lord. This is a decision made by gross materialistic men. Generally such men say that you can manufacture your own way of worshiping the Supreme Lord and that any type of worship is sufficient to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Certainly there are different means for attaining different results in fruitive activity, speculative knowledge, mystic <i>yoga,</i> and austerity. Crude men therefore say that if one adopts any of these methods, one achieves the Supreme Personality of Godhead's favor. They claim that it doesn't matter what kind of method one adopts.

Similarly, these gross materialists say that there are different ways to attain the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They claim that one can conceive of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as goddess Durgā, goddess Kālī, Lord Śiva, demigod Gaṇeśa, Lord Rāmacandra, Kṛṣṇa, impersonal Brahman or whatever, and one can chant the Lord's name in any way and in any form and ultimately become one. Such materialists claim that the result is the same. They also say that a man may have different names, but he will answer if called by any one of them. Therefore they claim that there is no need to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i>. If one chants the name of Kālī, Durgā, Śiva, Gaṇeśa or anyone else, the result will be the same.
