344 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 3

cessful; haila—became; prabhura—of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu;
4radhane—in the worship.

TRANSLATION

In this way all the opulences of Advaita Acarya—His faith, devotion,
home, riches and everything else—were successfully utilized in the wor-
ship of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

PURPORT

Advaita Acarya set an ideal example for all householder devotees in His
receiving of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees and in His execu-
tion of a daily festival at His home. If one has the proper means and wealth,
he should occasionally invite the devotees of Lord Caitanya, who are
engaged in preaching all over the world, and hold a festival at home simply
by distributing prasada and talking about Krsna during the day and holding
congregational chanting for at least three hours in the evening. This pro-
cedure must be adopted in all centers of the Krsna consciousness movement.
Thus they will daily perform sankirtana-yajfia. In Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.32)
the daily performance of sankirtana-yajfia is recommended for this age
(yajfiaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah). One should worship Lord
Caitanya Mahdprabhu and His four associates, the Pafica-tattva, by distribut-
ing prasada and holding congregational chanting. Indeed, that yajfia or
sacrifice is most recommended in this age of Kali. In this age, other yajfias are
not possible to perform, but this yajfia can be performed everywhere and
anywhere without difficulty.
