PURPORT
Formerly Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu converted people when He toured southern
and western India. Similarly, this Hare Krsna movement is now delivering the
people of the Western world wherever devotees are chanting the holy names.
This is all being done by the Lord’s mercy. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu predicted that
He would deliver people in every city and village of the world by giving them a
chance to chant the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra.
