Saṅkīrtana Spreads Love of Kṛṣṇa Everywhere
“The saṅkīrtana movement went on from one part of the town to another, as the Lord wandered everywhere performing kīrtana. In this way He inundated the whole world by distributing love of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord wandered from one part of town to another performing kīrtana. In this way He inundated the whole world by distributing love of Godhead.
- Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself. Just as He set the cosmic manifestation in motion, He set the saṅkīrtana movement in motion with the desire that it spread throughout the universe.
- The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement continues that same motion and is spreading throughout the world. The purport says it will gradually spread throughout the universe, bringing everyone into an ocean of love of Kṛṣṇa.
