286 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 3
Prabhu perform the same activities. There are two classes of devotees. One is
called gosthyanandi, and the other is called bhajananandi. A devotee who does
not preach but always engages in devotional activities is called a bhajananandi,
whereas a devotee who not only is expert in devotional service but who also
preaches the cult of bhakti and defeats all kinds of agnostics is called a gosthya-
nandi.
