ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu then glanced with mercy at the Muslim governor. Giving him assurance, He asked him to chant the holy names “Kṛṣṇa†and “Hari.â€

Purport

It is ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s mercy that He advises everyone — even caṇá¸Älas, mlecchas and yavanas — to chant the holy name of the Lord. In other words, one who has taken to chanting the holy names “Kṛṣṇa†and “Hari†has already received ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s mercy. The Lord’s request to chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa is now extended to everyone in the world through the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Whoever follows ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s instructions will certainly be purified, and one who sincerely chants the holy name offenselessly is already more than a brÄhmaṇa. Unfortunately there are many fools and rascals in India who do not allow Western Vaiṣṇavas to enter certain temples. Such rascals do not clearly understand the Vedas.
