SYNONYMS
nagare nagare—in different parts of the town; bhrame—wanders; &irtana—chant-
ing; kariya—performing; bhasaila—inundated; tri-bhuvana—all the three worlds;
prema-bhakti—\love of Godhead; diya—distributing.
TRANSLATION
The sankirtana movement went on from one part of the town to another, as the
Lord wandered everywhere performing kirtana. In this way He inundated the whole
world by distributing love of Godhead.
PURPORT
One may raise the question how all three worids became inundated with love of
Krsna since Caitanya Mahaprabhu performed kirtana only in the Navadvipa area.
The answer is that Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna Himself. The entire cos-
mic manifestation results from the Lord’s first setting it in motion. Similarly, since
the sankirtana movement was first set in motion five hundred years ago by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s desire that it spread all over the universe, the Krsna con-
sciousness movement, in continuity of that same motion, is now spreading all over
the world, and in this way it will gradually spread all over the universe. With the
spread of the Krsna consciousness movement, everyone will merge in an ocean of
love of Krsna.
