se saba pÄinu Ämi vá¹›ndÄvane Äya
sei saba labhya ei prabhura ká¹›pÄya
se saba - all this; pÄinu - got; Ämi - I; vá¹›ndÄvane - to Vá¹›ndÄvana; Äya - coming; sei saba - all this; labhya - obtainable; ei - this; prabhura ká¹›pÄya - by the mercy of Lord NityÄnanda.
All the inhabitants of Vá¹›ndÄvana are Vaiṣṇavas. They are all-auspicious because somehow or other they always chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. Even though some of them do not strictly follow the rules and regulations of devotional service, on the whole they are devotees of Kṛṣṇa and chant His name directly or indirectly. Purposely or without purpose, even when they pass on the street they are fortunate enough to exchange greetings by saying the name of RÄdhÄ or Kṛṣṇa. Thus directly or indirectly they are auspicious.
The present city of Vá¹›ndÄvana has been established by the Gauá¸Ä«ya Vaiṣṇavas since the six GosvÄmÄ«s went there and directed the construction of their different temples. Of all the temples in Vá¹›ndÄvana, ninety percent belong to the Gauá¸Ä«ya Vaiṣṇava sect, the followers of the teachings of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu and NityÄnanda, and seven temples are very famous. The inhabitants of Vá¹›ndÄvana do not know anything but the worship of RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. In recent years some unscrupulous so-called priests known as caste gosvÄmÄ«s have introduced the worship of demigods privately, but no genuine and rigid Vaiṣṇavas participate in this. Those who are serious about the Vaiṣṇava method of devotional activities do not take part in such worship of demigods.
The Gauá¸Ä«ya Vaiṣṇavas never differentiate between RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya. They say that since Lord Caitanya is the combined form of RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa, He is not different from RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. But some misled people try to prove that they are greatly elevated by saying that they like to chant the holy name of Lord Gaura instead of the names of RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. Thus they purposely differentiate between Lord Caitanya and RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa. According to them, the system of nadÄ«yÄ-nÄgarÄ«, which they have recently invented in their fertile brains, is the worship of Gaura, Lord Caitanya, but they do not like to worship RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. They put forward the argument that since Lord Caitanya Himself appeared as RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa combined, there is no necessity of worshiping RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. Such differentiation by so-called devotees of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu is considered disruptive by pure devotees. Anyone who differentiates between RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa and GaurÄá¹…ga is to be considered a plaything in the hands of mÄyÄ.
There are others who are against the worship of Caitanya MahÄprabhu, thinking Him mundane. But any sect that differentiates between Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu and RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa, either by worshiping RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa as distinct from Lord Caitanya or by worshiping Lord Caitanya but not RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa, is in the group of prÄká¹›ta-sahajiyÄs.
ÅšrÄ«la KṛṣṇadÄsa KavirÄja GosvÄmÄ«, the author of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya-caritÄmá¹›ta, predicts in verses 225 and 226 that in the future those who manufacture imaginary methods of worship will gradually give up the worship of RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa, and although they will call themselves devotees of Lord Caitanya, they will also give up the worship of Caitanya MahÄprabhu and fall down into material activities. For the real worshipers of Lord Caitanya, the ultimate goal of life is to worship ÅšrÄ« ÅšrÄ« RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa.
