In Gaudiya Vaishnava esp. in the ISKCON cult, the words Purushavada and Mayavada are used as derogatory terms to demean Advaita as Buddhism.We can see the second ref. is from an iskcon source.Maya is diff. from Mayavada which denies the soul.

Maya= Transience Mayavada =Ilusion Gaudiya Vaishnava was non existant at Shankaras time. So how can they say "formerly"??

purushavada nd mayavada

edit

Derogatory names from an opposing sect presented as a former name. Like calling Catholics 'Formerly Romish' 117.249.181.84 (talk) 05:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
