Caitanya’s reverence for Sridhara Svami, an Advaitin scholar, underscores his inclusive approach to various philosophical traditions. By adopting Advaita sannyasa, Caitanya strategically positioned himself to spread Krishna-bhakti more effectively. His teachings highlight a deep commitment to devotional service, transcending conventional sectarian boundaries. This synthesis aims not just at philosophical understanding but at promoting universal devotion to Krishna, making bhakti accessible and appealing across different spiritual and philosophical spectrums.

Phrases from the Bhagavad-gita pop up in management tomes and on the Web sites of consultants. Top business schools teach “self-mastery” classes that use Indian methods to help boost managerial and leadership skills while also finding inner peace in a life dominated by work. Twenty years after “Wall Street” we can ask: “Can the Bhagavad-gita compete with “The Art of War” as the new ancient Eastern management text?”
