Lord Chaitanya’s world-inundating mercy

by August 20, 2014
“Lord Caitanya did not advent Himself to liberate only a few men of India. Rather, His main objective was to emancipate all living entities of all countries throughout the entire universe and preach the Eternal Religion. Lord Caitanya says in the Caitanya-bhägavata: ‘In every town, country and village, My name will be sung.’ There is no doubt that this unquestionable order will come to pass … Very soon the unparalleled path of Harinäma-saìkértana will be propagated all over the world. Already we are seeing the symptoms … Oh, for that day when the fortunate English, French, Russian, German and American people will take up banners, mådaìgas and karatälas and raisekértana through their streets and towns. When will that day come? Oh, for the day when the fair-skinned men from their side will raise up the chanting of ‘jaya çacénandana, jaya çacénandana ki jaya’ and join with the Bengali devotees. When will that day be? On such a day they will say, ‘Our dear Brothers, we have taken shelter of the ocean of Lord Caitanya’s Love; kindly embrace us.’ When will that day come? That day will witness the holy transcendental ecstasy of the Vaiñëava-dharma to be the only dharma, and all the sects and religions will flow like rivers into the ocean of Vaiñëava-dharma. When will that day come?”
