About this item
Being attracted by this glaring effulgence, all the Mayavadi sannyasis stood up and showed Him their respects. Amongst them was one sannyasi named Prakasananda Sarasvati. He was the chief amongst the impersonalist sannyasis, and he addressed Lord Caitanya with great humility, asking Him to come and sit amongst them. "My dear Sir, why are You sitting in that filthy place?" he asked. "Please come and sit with us."
"Oh, I belong to an inferior sect of sannyasis," Lord Caitanya replied, "and therefore I think that I should not sit with you. Let Me remain down here." Prakasananda was surprised to hear such a thing from such a learned man, and he actually took the Lord's hand and requested Him to please come and sit with him.
