Ādi-līlāChapter 16: The Pastimes of the Lord in His Childhood and Youth

Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Ādi 16.8

kata dine kaila prabhu bańgete gamana

yāhāń yāya, tāhāń laoyāya nāma-sańkīrtana

SYNONYMS

kata dine — after a few days; kaila — did; prabhu — the Lord; bańgete — in East Bengal; gamana — touring; yāhāń yāya — wherever He goes; tāhāń — there; laoyāya — induces; nāma-sańkīrtana — the sańkīrtana movement.

TRANSLATION

After some days the Lord went to East Bengal, and wherever He went He introduced the sańkīrtana movement.

PURPORT

Although Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His devotees in disciplic succession can defeat all kinds of learned scholars, scientists and philosophers in arguments, thus establishing the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead, their main business as preachers is to introduce sańkīrtana everywhere. Simply to defeat scholars and philosophers is not the occupation of a preacher. Preachers must simultaneously introduce the sańkīrtana movement, for that is the mission of the Caitanya cult.
