Indian man (7): Yes. At the time of Caitanya Mahāprabhu was accepting sannyāsa order, He refused to take the name of . . . He was being given by his guru, and He accepted to keep Kṛṣṇa Caitanya as His name, which was a brahmacārī name. Why was that so?
Prabhupāda: Hmm? What is that?
Brahmānanda: When Caitanya Mahāprabhu took sannyāsa, His guru offered Him one name, but He refused and preferred to keep the name Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, which is a brahmacārī name. Why was this?
Prabhupāda: Because He took sannyāsa from a Māyāvādī sannyāsī, and Māyāvādī sannyāsī, they think of themselves that they have become Nārāyaṇa. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu refused to accept that theory, that He is Nārāyaṇa. He preferred to remain a brahmacārī than to become a false sannyāsī and claim to become Nārāyaṇa.
Devotees: Jaya. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
