to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
CC Adi 7.23 Translation by Srila Prabhupada
In distributing love of Godhead, Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates did
not consider who was a fit candidate and who was not, nor where such
distribution should or should not take place. They made no conditions.
Wherever they got the opportunity, the members of the Panca-tattva
distributed love of Godhead.
Purport
There are some rascals who dare to speak against the mission of Lord
Caitanya by criticizing the Krsna consciousness movement for accepting
Europeans and Americans as brahmanas and offering them sannyasa. But here is
an authoritative statement that in distributing love of Godhead one should
not consider whether the recipients are Europeans, Americans, Hindus,
Muslims, etc. The Krsna consciousness movement should be spread wherever
possible, and one should accept those who thus become Vaisnavas as being
greater than brahmanas, Hindus or Indians. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu desired
that His name be spread in each and every town and village on the surface of
the globe. Therefore, when the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu is spread all
over the world, should those who embrace it not be accepted as Vaisnavas,
brahmanas and sannyasis? These foolish arguments are sometimes raised by
envious rascals, but Krsna conscious devotees do not care about them. We
strictly follow the principles set down by the Panca-tattva.
