Love of Godhead Spreads Without Boundaries

“The more the five members of the Pañca-tattva cause the rains of love of Godhead to fall, the more the inundation increases and spreads all over the world.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 7.28, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The more the Pañca-tattva shower love of Godhead, the more its flood increases and spreads throughout the world.
  • The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is neither stereotyped nor stagnant. The purport says it will spread despite objections.
  • Objections that Europeans and Americans cannot become brāhmaṇas or sannyāsīs cannot stop this spread. The whole world can be inundated with Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Try this today

Reflect on one assumption you hold about someone’s background, and remind yourself that Kṛṣṇa consciousness can spread throughout the world.

Ask yourself

Do I place limits on who can take up Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
