From each branch of the tree have grown hundreds and thousands of subbranches of disciples and granddisciples.
It was the desire of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu that His cult be spread all over the world. Therefore there is a great necessity for many, many disciples of the branches of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s disciplic succession. His cult should be spread not only in a few villages, or in Bengal, or in India, but all over the world. It is very regrettable that complacent so-called devotees criticize the members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness for accepting sannyÄsa and spreading the cult of Lord Caitanya all over the world. It is not our business to criticize anyone, but because they try to find fault with this movement, the real truth must be stated. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu wanted devotees all over the world, and ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura and ÅšrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura confirmed this. It is in pursuit of their will that the ISKCON movement is spreading all over the world. Genuine devotees of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu must take pride in the spread of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement instead of viciously criticizing its propaganda work.
