Blessing the World Through Kṛṣṇa’s Name

“In His later pastimes He is known as Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. He blesses the whole world by teaching about the name and fame of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 3.34, translation

What the purport teaches

  • In His later pastimes, He is known as Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. He blesses the whole world by teaching about the name and fame of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
  • Lord Caitanya remained a householder until His twenty-fourth year had passed. Then He entered the renounced order.
  • He remained manifest in this material world until His forty-eighth year. His śeṣa-līlā, the final portion of His activities, therefore lasted twenty-four years.
