“The chanting of the holy name of K¢sna from your mouth has performed a
wonder —it has nullified the reactions of all your sinful activities. Now you have be-
come supremely pure.
PURPORT
Confirming the potency of the safkirtana movement, these words from the very
mouth of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu express how people can be purified simply by
chanting the holy name of Lord Krsna. The Kazi was a Mohammedan mieccha, or
meat-eater, but because he several times uttered the holy name of Lord Krsna, auto-
matically the reactions of his sinful life were vanquished, and he was fully purified
of all material contamination. We do not know why the pdsandis of the present day
protest that we are deteriorating the Hindu religion by spreading Krsna conscious-
ness all over the world and claiming alj classes of men to the highest standard of
Vaisnavism. But these rascals disagree with us so vehemently that some of them do
not allow European and American Vaisnavas to enter into the temples of Visnu.
Thinking religion to be meant for material benefit, these so-called Hindus have ac-
tually become vicious by worshiping the numerous forms of the demigods. In the
next verse Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu confirms the Kazi's purification.
