- The mayavadis/advaitavadis do not follow the instructions of Vyasadeva, they just worship their form.
- Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada explained that one should follow the instructions of the guru and then perform guru puja.
-Vyasadeva has given many proofs of God’s potencies and form. The Mayavadis say that the form of the Lord is temporary, and therefore they commit an offence against the Lord. - The form of the Lord is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, eternal, transcendental, and blissful. There is no difference between His soul and His body; in the material world there is a difference between the soul and the body of baddha-jivas.
- If you worship the guru but don’t follow his instructions, you become an offender. If you accept the guru, you must follow his instructions.
- Mayavadis accept Brahma as the absolute truth, but they do not believe in the existence of the soul.
