SYNONYMS
nirantara kara—constantly perform; krsma-ndma-sankirtana—the chanting of
the holy name of Krsna; helaya—very easily; mukti pabe—you will get liberation;
pabe prema-dhana—you will achieve the highest goal, ecstatic love of Krsna.
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, ‘Always discuss Srimad-Bhagavatam
and constantly chant the holy name of Lord Krsna. In this way you will be able
to attain liberation very easily, and you will be elevated to the enjoyment of
love of Godhead.
PURPORT
Stila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura states that without studying Srimad-
Bhdgavatam, one cannot understand the purport of Brahma-sttra (Vedanta-stitra)
or the Upanisads. If one tries to understand Vedanta philosophy and the
Upanisads without studying Srimad-Bhagavatam, he will be bewildered and, con-
struing a different meaning, will gradually become an atheist or an impersonalist.
