TEXT 122

nīlācale ei saba bhakta prabhu-saṅge

dui sthāne prabhu-sevā kaila nānā-raṅge

SYNONYMS

nīlācale — at Jagannātha Purī; ei — these; saba — all; bhakta — devotees; prabhu-saṅge — in the company of Lord Caitanya; dui sthāne — in two places; prabhu-sevā — service of the Lord; kaila — executed; nānā-raṅge — in different ways.

TRANSLATION

I have especially mentioned all these devotees because they accompanied Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu in Bengal and Orissa and served Him in many ways.

PURPORT

Most of the devotees of Lord Caitanya lived in Bengal and Orissa. Thus they are celebrated as Gauḍīyas and Oriyās. At present, however, by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, His cult is being propagated all over the world, and it is most probable that in the future history of Lord Caitanya’s movement, Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Australians, South Americans, Asians and people from all over the world will be celebrated as devotees of Lord Caitanya. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness has already constructed a big temple at Māyāpur, Navadvīpa, which is being visited by devotees from all parts of the world, as foretold by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and anticipated by Śrī Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura.
