nama-prema diya kaila sabara nistara

caitanyera gudha-lila bujhite sakti kara

SYNONYMS

nama-prema diya—bestowing upon them ecstatic love and the holy name; kaila—did; sabara nistara—liberation of all of them; caitanyera—of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; gudha-lila—confidential pastimes; bujhite—to understand; sakti—the power; kara—who has.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave even the Bheels an opportunity to chant the holy name and come to the platform of ecstatic love.

Thus He delivered all of them.

Who has the power to understand the transcendental pastimes of the Lord?

PURPORT

As evidence of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mercy, we are experiencing that the people of Africa are taking to Krsna consciousness, chanting and dancing and taking prasada like other Vaisnavas.

This is all due to the power of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
