Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 7.26
Spiritual devotion goes beyond bodily barriers
“The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind.”
What the purport teaches
- The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement can reach everyone, regardless of social standing or physical disability. Its flood does not exclude a gentleman or a rogue.
- This spiritual movement is not concerned with the external body of skin and bones. Nationality and bodily circumstances are not barriers to participation.
- The movement is properly conducted under the guidance of the Pañca-tattva, strictly following the regulative principles. In this way, it is not limited by external impediments.
