lost. The inhabitants of Bharata-varsa are gradually becoming degraded
mlecchas and yavanas. How then will they teach others? Therefore, this
Krsna consciousness movement has been started not only for the inhabi-
tants of Bharata-varsa but for all the people of the world, as announced
by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. There is still time, and if the inhabitants of
