Jaya Pataka Swami argues that chanting Kṛṣṇa's name is supreme and not equivalent to chanting names of other deities like Shiva or Brahma. Treating them as equal is a serious offense because the holy Name is non-different from Kṛṣṇa himself and transcendental to all others.

The second is to consider the names of demigods like Lord Shiva or Lord Brahma to be equal or independent of.
The name of Lord Vishnu.
Sometimes the atheistic class of men take it that any demigod is as good.
As the supreme personality of Godhead Vishnu.
But one who is a devotee knows that no demigod, however great he may be, is independently as good as the.
Supreme personality of Godhead.
Therefore, if someone thinks that he can chant Kaali Kali or Durga Durga and it is the same as Hare Ka.
That is the greatest offense. Of course, we don't have so much difficulty with this here in the west because devotees are trained from their beginning of their spiritual life on Ka transcendental position as the supreme personality of Godhead. However, in India, this of course is an offense which people sometimes make. We should be very careful not to misconsider Lord Ka name to be on the level with any other name, whether the demigod or anyone's name. Because his name is not different from himself. It's transcendental. Nam Chintamani, Krishna Chaitanya, Rastavigha, Purnasuddhonitimukto ha Vinatva Naamanamino. The holy Name is non different from Krishna and Krishna is the supreme so. So we should not compare him with others.
He is never equal. He is never equal or less than anyone else.
He is always transcendental to everyone.
