Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Rāmadāsa, who was the topmost associate of Śrī Nityānanda, always spoke in the mood of the viṣaya-vigraha, the object of worship, yet he was not a Māyāvādī follower of Śaṅkarācārya. Many people who did not understand his actual position misunderstood him as an ahaṅgrahopāsaka, or one who worships himself as the Supreme. Actually Rāmadāsa was always eager to gratify the senses of the Supreme Lord.

Since foolish Māyāvādīs consider the living entities and the Supreme Brahman as one, they cannot understand the endeavors of the devotees. Once Śrī Rāmadāsa concealed his mood as a servant and Kṛṣṇa entered his body and resided there for three months. If one takes advantage of this incident and independently acts like Kṛṣṇa, his attainment of hell is guaranteed. Many followers of the Rāmānandi-sampradāya [This sampradāya is a branch of the Rāmānuja-sampradāya and is not associated with Rāmadāsa.] follow the path of ahaṅgrahopāsanā. Since

the Māyāvāda philosophy is prominently found in their literature, the Vaiṣṇavas of the four authorized sampradāyas do not agree with them on all matters.

For a description of Rāmadāsa, see Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā, Chapter Eleven, text 13 and the Anubhāṣya commentary on it.
