Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 3.78

Offer Your Energy to Saṅkīrtana

“Such a person is truly intelligent, whereas others, who have but a poor fund of knowledge, must endure the cycle of repeated birth and death. Of all sacrificial performances, the chanting of the Lord’s holy name is the most sublime.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 3.78, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the father and inaugurator of the saṅkīrtana movement.
  • One who worships Him by sacrificing life, money, intelligence and words for this movement is recognized by the Lord and receives His blessings.
  • Of all sacrifices in which one may apply one’s energy, sacrifice for the saṅkīrtana movement is the most glorious.
