nagare nagare bhrame kÄ«rtana kariyÄ
bhÄsÄila tri-bhuvana prema-bhakti diyÄ
nagare nagare - in different parts of the town; bhrame - wanders; kÄ«rtana - chanting; kariyÄ - performing; bhÄsÄila - inundated; tri-bhuvana - all the three worlds; prema-bhakti - love of Godhead; diyÄ - distributing.
The saṅkīrtana movement went on from one part of the town to another, as the Lord wandered everywhere performing kīrtana. In this way He inundated the whole world by distributing love of Godhead.
One may raise the question how all three worlds became inundated with love of Kṛṣṇa, since Caitanya MahÄprabhu performed kÄ«rtana only in the NavadvÄ«pa area. The answer is that Lord ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself. The entire cosmic manifestation results from the Lord’s first setting it in motion. Similarly, since the saá¹…kÄ«rtana movement was first set in motion five hundred years ago by ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s desire that it spread all over the universe, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, in continuity of that same motion, is now spreading all over the world, and in this way it will gradually spread all over the universe. With the spread of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, everyone will merge in an ocean of love of Kṛṣṇa.
