India’s Greatest Impersonalist Meditated on Lord Kṛṣṇa and the Bhagavad-gītā

Śrīla Prabhupāda chastises impersonalist yogis and swamis, the nominal followers of the ninth-century teacher Śaṅkara, in this commentary on the later’s Meditation on the Bhagavad-gītā: “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Whereas Śaṅkara, the greatest of the impersonalists, offers his due respects to Kṛṣṇa and His book Bhagavad-gītā, the foolish say that ‘we need not surrender to the personal Kṛṣna.’”
