Arrival
Talk -- Aligarh, October 9, 1976: So that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's
mission. He practically did it, and He asked everyone to do it. Āmāra
ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa CC Madhya 7.128 . "This is My order." He
could remain a big devotee at His home. He was very popular in
Navadvīpa, even when He was twenty years old. But still, He took
sannyāsa and went door to door, village to village, town to town in
India, and He left His order: pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi-grāma. "All
over the world, as many towns and villages are there, this Kṛṣṇa
consciousness movement should be..." Not that "We are big, big gosvāmīs
and bābājīs. We do not go out of Vṛndāvana." They say that: "We do not
go out of..." You are imitating them. (chuckles) Caitanya Mahāprabhu
says that pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi-grāma. And they have become very
big Vaiṣṇava: "No, I don't go beyond the limits of Vṛndāvana." What is
this nonsense? Did Caitanya Mahāprabhu say like that, that "You do not
go beyond the limits...?" A devotee, wherever he is, that is Vṛndāvana.
That is Vṛndāvana tīrtha. Kurvanti tīrthāni. A devotee, a pure devotee,
can make any hell a tīrtha, a holy place. That is devotee.
Tīrthī-kurvanti tīrthāni. That was Bhagīratha. Gaṅgā was hesitating,
mother Gaṅgā, that "I shall go to the material world. People will take,
all sinful men will take bathing, and I'll be overloaded with sin. Then
how I shall get out of this sinful, accumulation of sins?" So Bhagīratha
said, "My mother, don't hesitate. When a holy man will take bath in
your water, then all the sins he will assimilate." Then she agreed.
"Yes. That's..." So if we become holy man, actually, then immune. There
is no difference. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. These are bogus, that "I
do not go out of Vṛndāvana." They are making Vṛndāvana limited.
Vṛndāvana is not limited. Wherever there is Kṛṣṇa, wherever there is
Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa temple, that is Vṛndāvana. That is Vṛndāvana. Caitanya
Mahāprabhu said. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He, once only, He went to
Vṛndāvana. Does it mean He was not in Vṛndāvana? So this is Caitanya
Mahāprabhu's mission, that preaching must go on in hell and heaven. We
should be very much expert and follow the instruction of Caitanya
Mahāprabhu, the simple instructions. Mukunda mādhava yādava hari bolena
bolo re vadana bori. Simply chant the holy names of Lord, mukunda
mādhava yādava. This is Caitanya. Rise early in the morning. You go and
preach, and work hard, day and night, and that is Caitanya
Mahāprabhu's... This song indicates. That's all.
