Text

“Because you are a teacher of VedÄnta philosophy, you are the master of all the people in the world and their well-wisher as well. You are also the benefactor of all kinds of sannyÄsÄ«s.

Purport

Because the MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s teach VedÄnta philosophy to their students or disciples, they are customarily called jagad-guru. This indicates that they are the benefactors of all people. Although SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya was not a sannyÄsÄ« but a householder, he used to invite all the sannyÄsÄ«s to his home and offer them prasÄdam. Thus he was accepted as the best well-wisher and friend of all the sannyÄsÄ«s.
