And Lord Krsna says (BG 14.27):
brahmano hi pratisthAham
amrtasyAvyayasya ca
sAsvatasya ca dharmasya
sukhasyaikAntikasya ca
"And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is immortal,
imperishable and eternal and is the constitutional position of ultimate
happiness."
This of course, is straight from Bhagavad-Gita, as it has been passed down
in the authorized manner in the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya and
translated into English by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila
Prabhupada.

Oh, have you changed Gods? I thought Ramakrishna was your choice of avataar
in the past...
>OM NAMO BHAGAVATE MATA MEERA
No, that's not right. It goes as follows:
OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA
Only Krsna is Bhagavan. Your imitation Bhagavan simply does not compare.
