“Meditation and the study of VedÄnta are the sole duties of a sannyÄsÄ«. Why do You abandon these to dance with fanatics?

Purport

As explained in regard to verse 41, MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s do not approve of chanting and dancing. PrakÄÅ›Änanda SarasvatÄ«, like SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya, misunderstood ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu to be a misled young sannyÄsÄ«, and therefore he asked Him why He indulged in the association of fanatics instead of executing the duty of a sannyÄsÄ«.
