to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
CC Adi 7.163 Translation:
Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates of the Panca-tattva
distributed the holy name of the Lord to invoke love of Godhead throughout
the universe, and thus the entire universe was thankful.
Purport by Srila Prabhupada:
Here it is said that Lord Caitanya made the entire universe thankful to Him
for propagating the sankirtana movement with His associates. Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu has already sanctified the entire universe by His presence five
hundred years ago, and therefore anyone who attempts to serve Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu sincerely by following in His footsteps and following the
instructions of the acaryas will successfully be able to preach the holy
names of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra all over the universe. There are some
foolish critics who say that Europeans and Americans cannot be offered
sannyasa, but here we find that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to preach the
sankirtana movement all over the universe. For preaching work, sannyasis are
essential. These critics think that only Indians or Hindus should be offered
sannyasa to preach, but their knowledge is practically nil. Without
sannyasis, the preaching work will be impeded. Therefore, under the
instruction of Lord Caitanya and with the blessings of His associates, there
should be no discrimination in this matter, but people in all parts of the
world should be trained to preach and given sannyasa so that the cult of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's sankirtana movement will expand boundlessly. We do not
care about the criticism of fools. We shall go on with our work and simply
depend on the blessings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates, the
Panca-tattva.
