PURPO RT
The name Viisudeviimrta-prada is mentioned in the verses composed by Siir­
vabhauma Bhaniiciirya. When a person actually revives his consciousness with
thoughts of Kf�l)a by the mercy of SrT Caitanya Mahiiprabhu, he revives his
spiritual life and becomes addicted to the service of the Lord. Only then can he
act as an acarya. In other words, everyone should engage in preaching, following
in the footsteps of SrT Caitanya Mahiiprabhu. In this way one will be very much
appreciated by Lord Kr�na and will quickly be recognized by Him. Actually a
devotee of SrT Caitanya Mahiiprabhu must engage in preaching in order to in­
crease the followers of the Lord. By thus preaching actual Vedic knowledge all
over the world, one will benefit all mankind.
