Support the Worldwide Spread of Devotion
“From each branch of the tree have grown hundreds and thousands of subbranches of disciples and granddisciples.”
What the purport teaches
- Each branch has hundreds and thousands of subbranches of disciples and granddisciples. Many disciples in Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s disciplic succession are needed to spread His teachings.
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu desired devotees all over the world, not only in a few villages, Bengal, or India.
- The ISKCON movement spreads worldwide in pursuit of this desire, confirmed by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura and Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. Genuine devotees should take pride in this spread rather than criticize its preaching work.
