Introducing Saṅkīrtana Is the Preacher’s Mission
“After some days the Lord went to East Bengal, and wherever He went He introduced the saṅkīrtana movement.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord went to East Bengal and introduced the saṅkīrtana movement wherever He went.
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His devotees in disciplic succession can defeat learned scholars, scientists and philosophers in argument, establishing the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead.
- Simply defeating scholars and philosophers is not a preacher’s occupation. The main business of preachers is to introduce saṅkīrtana everywhere.
