My society, Vaiṣṇava society, has particularly given me this title, Bhaktivedanta. Vedānta means bhakti. It is a challenge to the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs. This particular title was given after due consideration that my humble self should be awarded this title. It is new title amongst the Vaiṣṇava society. So the Māyāvādī philosophers, they are sometimes surprised that "How Swāmījī is vedāntī, at the same time bhakti?" But actually they do not know Vedānta means bhakti. Real Vedānta commentary is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Bhāṣyaṁ brahma-sūtrāṇām **. Brahma-sūtra means the Vedānta-sūtra. So, vedānta-vedyam. Śiva-viriñci, that Lord Śiva, Lord Brahmā, they are trying to understand the Supreme . . . flickering knowledge? No. Through the Vedānta. Vedānta. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva (BG 15.15). And vibhum. Vibhum means the greatest. Nobody, er, greater than the Supreme Lord.

Vedānta-vedyam. It is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā, vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam, vedānta-vid vedānta-kṛt ca aham ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]). Kṛṣṇa says that all the Vedas, including Vedānta . . . if somebody says the Vedānta is describing impersonal Brahman, but Kṛṣṇa says that "How it can do?" Vedānta-vid, "I am the actual knower of Vedānta, I am actual composer of Vedānta. So I am the Supreme." So these Māyāvādī philosophers, they cannot understand. They think that Vedānta . . . in India the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs are known as Vedāntī.

Therefore my society, Vaiṣṇava society, has particularly given me this title, Bhaktivedanta. Vedānta means bhakti. It is a challenge to the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs. This particular title was given after due consideration that my humble self should be awarded this title. It is new title amongst the Vaiṣṇava society. So the Māyāvādī philosophers, they are sometimes surprised that "How Swāmījī is vedāntī, at the same time bhakti?"

But actually they do not know Vedānta means bhakti. Real Vedānta commentary is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Bhāṣyaṁ brahma-sūtrāṇām **. Brahma-sūtra means the Vedānta-sūtra. So, vedānta-vedyam. Śiva-viriñci, that Lord Śiva, Lord Brahmā, they are trying to understand the Supreme . . . flickering knowledge? No. Through the Vedānta. Vedānta. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]). And vibhum. Vibhum means the greatest. Nobody, er, greater than the Supreme Lord. Rāmākhyam jagad-īśvaram. And He is Rāma. We chant daily, Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare/ Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare. Rāmākhyam. Rāma means the ramanīyā, the beautiful, or the enjoyer, rāmākhyam. And jagad-īśvaram. And He is the master or the proprietor of the whole universes.

Sura-gurum. Sura means the demigods, and gurum is spiritual master. Sura-gurum. Just like Arjuna is sura, and his guru is Kṛṣṇa. Vyāsadeva, his guru, Nārada; Nārada's guru is Brahmā; Brahmā's guru is Kṛṣṇa. So sura-gurum. He is in . . . māyā-manusyam: And when He appears as human being, that is māyā. Māyā means actually He is not an ordinary man; He is the Supreme Personality of God. But the rascals, they think that, "Because Rāma and Kṛṣṇa has appeared like one of us, He is a man, He's an ordinary man."
