“I am the only gardener. How many places can I go? How many fruits can I pick and distribute?

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 9.34, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Although Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He asks how He can pick and distribute all the fruits alone.
  • His words indicate that distribution of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra should be performed by combined forces.
  • All classes of devotees should unite to distribute the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra without consideration of time, place or situation.
