Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Correcting Devananda Pandit

Radhanath Swami

But Lord Chaitanya remembered that offense and face to face with Devananda Pandit he said that: “you are reciting Srimad Bhagavatam but the Person Bhagavatam came right into your school, the pure devotee of Krishna who has realized the essence of Bhagavatam and because you are a fool, you do not understand what is love of God, you have thrown him out, you have abused him, you have manhandled him. Because the Guru his responsible to whatever the disciples do, your pupils did this, you did not stop him, you are responsible for this offense” and then he said to Devananda pandit: “you have no qualification to recite Bhagavatam, you have no qualification to be a teacher, you are cheating” and Lord Chaitanya walked away. And Devananda Pandit was very embarrassed, felt quite sad but at the same time he just went home what he could do, he was such big famous scholar being adored by everyone.
