I’ve been playing on PokiGames, and it’s honestly one of the best free gaming platforms I’ve found. The site runs fast, looks clean, and has a massive collection of games — from fun puzzles to action and strategy titles. What I really like is how easy it is to jump in without downloads or sign-ups. Plus, there aren’t annoying ads breaking the flow. PokiGames is perfect for quick gaming breaks or long sessions when you just want to relax and have fun.
Huh?! People living in glass houses shouldn’t dare throw stones at others! I’m no snake, it’s you who’s been spewing venom all over this forum with your toxic replies. I get it, after drowning yourself in two bottles of liquor and puffing on that cheap weed, self-control isn’t exactly your strength. Still, you’re hallucinating. Hari Hari.
Oh, so you’re Vishnu and now Sesa-Naag too? You literally sleep on yourself? What kind of twisted philosophy is that? And you have the nerve to call me a mayavadi? You’re out here turning into every god - Krishna, Kalki, and now even Shesh Naag. Seriously, what kind of hell is this?
Oh wow, amazing! So let’s just drop everything and stop worshipping Sri Krishna, right? From now on, we’ll all start bowing down to ourselves. Let’s make a grand declaration — “I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead!” What a revelation! You’ve read a bit about Ahangropasana and suddenly — boom! enlightenment struck: You’re God!
And of course, everyone else who’s read a few scriptures like you will also think the same, “I’m God too!” So tell me, what’s next? A whole world full of gods roaming around, each claiming the throne? Divine chaos at its finest. Hari Hari.
Don’t beat around the bush. Answer me, do you consider Gīta Govindam as a mayavadi bhashya? Apart from this, Mahaprabhu was also mayavadi. He propagates to read the mayavadi-bhashya of Sridhara Svami, who was the Shankaracharya at 14th C.E.
“Śrīdhara Svāmī is the spiritual master of the entire world because by his mercy we can understand Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. I therefore accept him as a spiritual master."
śrīdharera anugata ye kare likhana saba loka mānya kari’ karibe grahaṇa “One who comments on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam following in the footsteps of Śrīdhara Svāmī will be honored and accepted by everyone."
śrīdharānugata kara bhāgavata-vyākhyāna abhimāna chāḍi’ bhaja kṛṣṇa bhagavān “Put forth your explanation of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam following in the footsteps of Śrīdhara Svāmī. Giving up your false pride, worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa."
This mayavadi acharya is enough for your arguments. Hari Hari.
Should i consider Srila Prabhupada in a same way as you are considering Sridhara Svami. Can I also say Srila Prabhupada was not a gaudiya because he speaks out against the gaudiya philosophy sometimes? Your arguement is easily refutable. Advaita Purāṇa commentaries or tattva-prakāśikās that interpret the four vyūhas allegorically - not historically or theologically. Hari Hari.
My dear Gaurav Prabhu, please allow me to share something with due respect. Śrīpāda Śrīdhara Svāmī was actually associated with the line of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, the Smārta paramparā, which is generally known today as a Māyāvādī tradition. If the followers of Śaṅkarācārya are considered Māyāvādīs, then naturally, Śrīdhara Svāmī’s commentary may also reflect that Advaitic understanding. However, it’s also important to note that despite this, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself accepted Śrīdhara Svāmī’s commentary on the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and considered them as an ācārya & jagatguru. He was an advaitin. So, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was also mayavadi? Am i right? Hari Hari.
I think your logic collapses — calling Śaṅkarācārya a māyāvādī in the sense of a deluded atheist is equal to insulting Lord Śiva, who was merely fulfilling a divine commission.
Even your own quotation says:
“He had to imagine some kind of interpretation.”
But Śaṅkarācārya himself, in his Bhaja Govindam, Govinda Aṣṭakam, and Harimīde Stotra, explicitly glorifies Govinda, Kṛṣṇa, and Nārāyaṇa as the Supreme Reality.
If that’s “atheism,” then perhaps your definition of devotion needs serious revision
Śaṅkarācārya’s role was surgical — he removed the poison of Buddhist voidism by reintroducing Vedic theism in an abstract form. After his time, the Lord Himself, as Śrī Caitanya, revealed the full nectar of Bhakti. You can’t blame the physician for using anesthesia before the cure.
If, as you quote, “Śaṅkarācārya says — Nārāyaṇaḥ paro ’vyaktāt,” then by your own evidence he accepted Nārāyaṇa as transcendental and supreme.
Now tell me, does an atheist declare “Nārāyaṇa is beyond the material world”? Your own reference refutes your labeling.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself quoted Śaṅkarācārya’s “bhaja govindaṁ” approvingly, because that reveals Śaṅkara’s true intent — to direct people ultimately to Govinda.
Even Śrīdhara Svāmī, whom Mahāprabhu called jagad-guru, came from Śaṅkara’s Smārta line. So, if lineage equals contamination, you’re indirectly accusing Mahāprabhu Himself of following a “Māyāvādī” ācārya — a blunder beyond measure.

I don't think Adi Shankaracharya as mayavadi at all place. Do you consider Gīta Govindam as a mayavadi bhashya? Hari Hari.

If I am not wrong, didn't mahaprabhu accept sanyas from so that he can deliver those Advaita and mayavadiS?
