PURPORT
When we began distributing the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the Western countries, a similar thing happened.
In the beginning we were very disappointed for at least one year because no one came forth to help this movement, but by the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, some young boys joined this movement in 1966.
Of course we distributed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s message of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra without bargaining or selling.
As a result, this movement has spread all over the world, with the assistance of European and American boys and girls.
We therefore pray for all the blessings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu upon all the devotees in the Western world who are spreading this movement.
