The mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

You can know one person. But to develop love for him, that is another
transaction. So people cannot understand even Krsna, and what is the saying
of Krsna's love? But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so kind that He's immediately
giving krsna-prema, love of Krsna. Therefore He is described as the most
munificent incarnation. Krsna Himself could not deliver Himself. He wanted,
"First of all you surrender." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam
vraja [Bg. 18.66]. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so kind. Simply through this
chanting and dancing, He is distributing love of Krsna. You can see
practically. These boys from European and American countries, means all over
the world, why they are chanting and dancing in this way? Do you think they
have become mad? And one says, "Yes, they have become mad." Why? For love of
Krsna. Now they have began, they have become lover of Krsna. So krsna-prema
is like that. That is through the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
