Two nights ago, I was fortunate to witness something extraordinary during the Be A Gardener campaign. In the company of a small group of devotees, we went out with the Caitanya-caritāmṛta (CC), trusting Lord Caitanya’s guidance at every step. What unfolded felt worth sharing in the hope that others might feel encouraged to try as well.
We chose a South Indian restaurant, knowing that many people from South India carry deep natural piety and respect for sacred literature.
Calling all those who want to relish and spread Lord Chaitanya’s mercy! Srila Prabhupada once referred to the Chaitanya Charitamrita as “the real Bengali sweet.” This literature, which goes into the essence of our tattva as Gaudiya Vaishnavas specifically, shares the sweet pastimes of Lord Chaitanya’s sankirtan movement and confidential mood to the world. Being His faithful followers, it is our duty to both accept and distribute this mercy.
