Text 10] Pastimes of Childhood and Youth 205

TRANSLATION

After some days the Lord went to East Bengal, and wherever He went He intro-
duced the sankirtana movement.

PURPORT

Although Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 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 sankirtana everywhere. Simply to defeat scholars and
philosophers is not the occupation of a preacher. Preachers must simultaneously
introduce the safkirtana movement, for that is the mission of the Caitanya cult.
