ĹrÄŤla PrabhupÄda: Previously nobody attempted to introduce the supreme authority, KášášŁáša, all over the world. We are just trying to introduce KášášŁáša, following the orders of ĹrÄŤ Caitanya MahÄprabhu, who appeared five hundred years ago. He is KášášŁáša, and He wanted this KášášŁáša consciousness to be spread all over the world (CB Antya-khaášá¸a 4.126):
pášthivÄŤte Äche yata nagarÄdi-grÄma
sarvatra pracÄra haibe mora nÄma
“In every town and village throughout the world,” said Lord Caitanya, “the chanting of My holy name will be heard.” KášášŁáša is not just for India. He is for everyone, because He is God. In Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ He affirms, ahaáš bÄŤja-pradaḼ pitÄ: (BG 14.4) “I am the seed-giving father of all living entities” – not just the living entities in the human society, but also all other living entities, like the aquatics, the insects, the plants, the birds, and the beasts.
