Lord Advaita Acharya is the incarnation of Maha-Vishnu, whose main function is to create the cosmic world through the actions of maya.
Because He is nondifferent from Hari, the Supreme Lord, He is called Advaita, and because He propagates the cult of devotion, He is called Acharya. He is the Lord and the incarnation of the Lord’s devotee. Therefore I take shelter of Him.
Sri Advaita Acharya is indeed directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. His glory is beyond the conception of ordinary living beings.
Maha-Vishnu performs all the functions for the creation of the universes. Sri Advaita Acharya is His direct incarnation.
That purusha [form of the Supreme] creates and maintains with His external energy. He creates innumerable universes in His pastimes.
By His will He manifests Himself in unlimited forms, in which He enters each and every universe.
Sri Advaita Acharya is a plenary part of that purusha and so is not different from Him. Indeed, Sri Advaita Acharya is not separate but is another form of that purusha.
He [Advaita Acharya] helps in the pastimes of the purusha, with whose material energy and by whose will He creates innumerable universes. CC Adi 6.4-13
Texts 29-33
Since He has no other occupation than to teach devotional service, His name is Advaita Acharya.
He is the spiritual master of all devotees and is the most revered personality in the world. By a combination of these two names, His name is Advaita Acharya.
Since He is a limb or part of the lotus-eyed Supreme Lord, He also bears the name Kamalaksha.
His associates have the same bodily features as the Lord. They all have four arms and are dressed in yellow garments like Narayana.
Sri Advaita Acharya is the principal limb of the Supreme Lord. His truths, names and attributes are all wonderful.
Texts 34-43
He worshiped Krishna with tulasi leaves and water of the Ganges and called for Him in a loud voice. Thus Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared on earth, accompanied by His personal associates.
It is through Him [Advaita Acharya] that Lord Caitanya spread the sankirtana movement and through Him that He delivered the world.
The glory and attributes of Advaita Acharya are unlimited. How can the insignificant living entities fathom them?
