Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu requested them all to return home and begin chanting the holy name congregationally. He also requested them to worship Kṛṣṇa, chant His holy name and discuss His holy pastimes.

The cult of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, is very nicely explained by Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu authoritatively. It is not that everyone has to take sannyÄsa like ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. Everyone can execute the cult of Kṛṣṇa consciousness at home, as ordered by the Lord. Everyone can congregationally chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra. One can also discuss the subject matter of the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ and ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam and install Deities of RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa or Gaura-NitÄi or both and worship them very carefully in one’s own home. It is not that we have to open different centers all over the world. Whoever cares for the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement can install Deities at home and, under superior guidance, worship the Deity regularly, chanting the mahÄ-mantra and discussing the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ and ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. We are actually teaching in our classes how to go about this. One who feels that he is not yet ready to live in a temple or undergo strict regulative principles in the temple — especially householders who live with a wife and children — can start a center at home by installing the Deity, worshiping the Lord morning and evening, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and discussing the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ and ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. Anyone can do this at home without difficulty, and ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu requested all the devotees present there to do so.
