An Ocean of Mercy for Everyone
“The activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu are just like an ocean of nectar. Even a drop of this ocean can inundate all the three worlds.”
What the purport teaches
- The activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu are like an ocean of nectar. Even one drop can inundate all three worlds.
- Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, Ṭhākura Narottama dāsa and Śyāmānanda Gosvāmī represented His mercy. Through them, the power of that mercy to flood the three worlds was exhibited.
- The purport describes the same mercy as overflooding the world through the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It calls the movement nondifferent from the Lord's pastimes because the same principles and actions are faithfully continued.
