If it is wrong to take sannyaasi initation before the picture of a Vaishnava guru, why is it not even more wrong to take sannyaasi initiation before the physical presence of an offender to Lord Krishna? << Just a side-comment. We must be very careful before making statements such as above, as we may unwittingly be victim to the facts that the unknown is itself 'unknown' to us at any time. It is interesting to note that the "mayavadadi sannyasi" who gave sannyasa initiation to Lord Chaitanya was none other than the reincarnation of Sandipani Muni. This is noted in the famous Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika. *Why* Sandipani Muni chose to take birth as a "mayavadi" to participate in Gaura-lila would be an interesting question to pose that would surely open the floodgates for more Krishna-katha.
