- Anyone who compares the holy name of the Supreme Lord to the names of the demigods is called pasandi, or an offender
- As far as distinguishing the Lord's holy name from the names of the demigods, the revealed scriptures disclose (BG 10.41) that all extraordinarily powerful beings are but parts and parcels of the supreme energetic, Lord Krsna

- In Bengal there is a group of people who have invented "kali-kirtana," chanting the name of the demigoddess Kali. What is this nonsense? In the Vedic literature there is no such thing as - kali-kirtana
- In this regard (various names of the demigods, Brahma, Siva, Indra & so on are not personal names; they are names of different posts), we understand that Lord Visnu sometimes becomes Brahma or Indra when there is no suitable person to occupy these posts
- It may be argued that the demigods are as important as Lord Visnu because the names of the demigods are different names of Visnu. This, however, is not a sound conclusion, for it is contradicted in the Vedic literatures

- The Lord is Supreme, and no one is equal to or greater than Him. Consequently if one thinks that the Lord's names are nondifferent from the names of demigods, he offends. The Supreme Lord and the demigods should never be considered on the same level
- The various names of the demigods - Lord Brahma, Lord Siva, Lord Indra and so on - are not personal names; they are names of different posts
- They (the materialists) consider the chanting of the names of the demigods an auspicious activity
- This prayer (O lord, you are) is actually offered to Lord Visnu, the purusa, who in His incarnations as the guna-avataras assumes the names Brahma, Visnu and Mahesvara
- To think that the names of demigods such as Lord Siva are as good as the name of Lord Visnu - is blasphemous
