The rising Caitanya moon to dissipate the darkness of ignorance

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

We have established this temple, Mayapur-candrodaya. So this is the idea,
that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is just like moon. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He
appeared in this land of Mayapur; therefore He is said here as "the moon."
Therefore we say candra, Mayapur-candra. Now, as Sri Mayapur-candra is
rising... Rising. Rising means He is to distribute the moonshine all over
the world. This is the idea, moonshine. Sreyah-kairava candrika-vitaranam.
Sreyah-kairava. Caitanya Mahaprabhu personally said. Don't keep Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu compact in your room and take some monetary profit. This is not
required. This is not required.

You must allow Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to rise more and more so that this
sun, moonshine, may be distributed all over the world. That is wanted.
Therefore this temple is situated. Of course, we shall try to construct a
very nice temple for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This morning we were thinking
of this. So from this place, this moon, Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, will
distribute. Sreyah-kairava-candrika-vitaranam vidya-vadhu-jivanam. The Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Hare Krsna movement... Param vijayate
sri-krsna-sankirtanam. This is spoken by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.
Ceto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam
sreyah-kairava-candrika-vitaranam vidya-vadhu-jivanam [Cc. Antya 20.12].
Vidya-vadhu-jivanam. This is real enlightenment. People all over the world,
they are in darkness. The moonshine will enlighten them.
