Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 7.128
Chant at Home and Teach Kṛṣṇa’s Instructions
“Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.”
What the purport teaches
- One can remain at home and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra with one’s family; giving up family life is not the mission.
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asks everyone to teach Kṛṣṇa’s instructions as given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way, one becomes a spiritual master and tries to liberate others.
- One should refrain from illicit sex, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. The real purpose of human life is to attain the spiritual platform and return to Godhead.
