Imported quote 19761 These ministers were, by caste, brahmana, but because they accepted the service in Muhammadan government, they were rejected from the brahmana society. And they also became like Muhammadans. They changed their names to Sakara Mallika and Dabira Khasa. Practically they became Muhammadan. And in those days many other Muhammadans, they also became this follower of Caitanya cult, especially Haridasa Thakura. Haridasa Thakura was born in Muhammadan family. These Rūpa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, they were born in high-class brahmana family, but on account of their service in the Muhammadan government they were rejected from the brahmana society. So that is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's special mercy, that this Haridasa Thakura, who was actually born in Muhammadan family, he was made namacarya. We offer our respect, "Namacarya Srila Haridasa Thakura." And we offer our respect to Sanatana Gosvami, vande rūpa-sanatanau... Eh?
