144 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 2
PURPORT

In this verse the word jfdna-khala is most significant. Knowledge is
meant for distribution. Although there is already much scientific knowl-
edge, whenever scientists or philosophers awaken to a particular type of
knowledge, they try to distribute it throughout the world, for otherwise
the knowledge gradually dries up and no one benefits from it. India has
the knowledge of Bhagavad-gita, but unfortunately, for some reason or
other, this sublime knowledge of the science of God was not distributed
throughout the world, although it is meant for all of human society.
Therefore Krsna Himself appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and or-
dered all Indians to take up the cause of distributing the knowledge of
Bhagavad-gita throughout the entire world.

yGre dekha, tare kaha ‘krsna’-upadesa
dmara ajndya guru hand tara’ ei desa

“Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Sri Krsna as they are
given in Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhdgavatam. In this way be-
come a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.”
(Cc. Madhya 7.128) Although India has the sublime knowledge of
Bhagavad-gitd, Indians have not done their proper duty of distributing
it. Now, therefore, the Krsna consciousness movement has been set up to
distribute this knowledge as it is, without distortion. Although pre-
viously there were attempts to distribute the knowledge of Bhagavad-
gitd, these attempts involved distortion and compromise with mundane
knowledge. But now the Krsna consciousness movement, without mun-
dane compromises, is distributing Bhagavad-gitd as it is, and people are
deriving the benefits of awakening to Krsna consciousness and becoming
devotees of Lord Krsna. Therefore the proper distribution of knowledge
has begun by which not only will the whole world benefit, but India’s
glory will be magnified in human society. Karnsa tried to arrest Krsna
consciousness within his house (bhojendra-gehe), with the result that
Karnsa, with all his opulences, was later vanquished. Similarly, the real
knowledge of Bhagavad-gita was being choked by unscrupulous Indian
leaders, with the result that India’s culture, and knowledge of the
Supreme were being lost. Now, however, because Krsna consciousness is
spreading, the proper use of Bhagavad-gita is being attempted.
