mahavakye kari 'tattvamasi'ra sthapana

TRANSLATION
"Pranava [omkara] is the maha-vakya [maha-mantra] in the Vedas. Saṅkaracarya's followers cover this to stress without authority the mantra tat tvam asi.
PURPORT
The Mayavadi philosophers stress the statements tat tvam asi, so 'ham, etc., but they do not stress the real maha-mantra, pranava (omkara). Therefore, because they misrepresent Vedic knowledge, they are the greatest offenders to the lotus feet of the Lord. Caitanya Mahaprabhu says clearly, mayavadi krsne aparadhi: Mayavadi philosophers are the greatest offenders to Lord Krsna. Lord Krsna declares:
tan aham dvisatah kruran
samsaresu naradhaman ksipamy ajasram asubhan asurisv eva yonisu "Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among mankind, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life." (Bg. 16.19) Life in demoniac species awaits the Mayavadi philosophers after death because they are envious of Krsna. When Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (9.34), man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru ("Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, offer obeisances and worship Me"), one demoniac scholar says that it is not Krsna to whom one must surrender. This scholar is already suffering in this life, and he will have to suffer again in the next if in this life he does not complete his prescribed suffering. One should be very careful not to be envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the next verse, therefore, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu clearly states the purpose of the Vedas.
