TRANSLATION
As previously stated, all the residents of the villages visited by Lord
Caitanya became Vai,�;�avas and began to chant Hari and Kr,�;�a. In this way, in
all the villages visited by the Lord, everyone became a Vai,�;�ava, a devotee.
PURPORT
The holy names of Kr�r:'la and Hari, or the chanting of the Hare Kr�r:'la maha­
mantra, are so spiritually powerful that even today, as our preachers go to remote
parts of the world, people immediately begin chanting Hare Kr�r:"�a. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu was the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. There cannot be
anyone who can compare to Him or His potencies. However, because we are
following in His footsteps and are also chanting the Hare Kr�r:Ja maha-mantra, the
effect is almost as potent as during the time of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Our
preachers mainly belong to European and American countries, yet by the grace of
Lord Caitanya they have tremendous success wherever they go to open
branches. Indeed, everywhere people are very seriously chanting Hare Kr�r:Ja, Hare
Kr�r:Ja, Kr�r:'la Kr�r:Ja, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
