Divine Empowerment Spreads the Holy Name
“Because of Your causeless mercy toward Your devotees, You want to describe the transcendental pastimes in Vṛndāvana. Anyone empowered to do this can bring the entire world under Your influence.”
What the purport teaches
- Out of causeless mercy toward His devotees, the Lord wants the transcendental pastimes in Vṛndāvana to be described.
- Unless empowered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, one cannot spread the Lord’s holy name throughout the entire world.
- Under the Lord’s protection, a pure devotee can preach the holy name so that everyone may take advantage and become Kṛṣṇa conscious.
