[Śrī Śrī Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka]
Kṛṣṇa-kīrtana. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau. All these six Gosvāmīs, they were always engaged in chanting, utkīrtanam. Utkīrtanam, not this professional kīrtana. Utkīrtanam. Udgata-tamaḥ. Transcendental kīrtana, transcendental vibration. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau. So they were engaged in singing and dancing and chanting. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-
nartana-parau premāmṛtāmbho-nidhī. Merged into the ocean of love of Godhead, premāmṛtāmbho-nidhī.
Dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau priya-karau nirmatsarau pūjitau. So by kṛṣṇa-kīrtana, one can become dear, very dear, both for the dhīra and adhīra. Dhīra means sober, and adhīra means rascals. So kṛṣṇa-kīrtana is so nice that you can become favorite both for the gentle and the rascal.
It is so nice. That is actually happening. So dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau priya-karau nirmatsarau. Because those who are chanting kṛṣṇa-kīrtana, they are nirmatsarau. They are not envious. Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not limited, therefore, in India. It is for the whole world. We are not envious, we only see Indians will learn it. No. We have no such program. Tri-bhuvane mānyau. It should be honored all over the world. This is kṛṣṇa-kīrtana.
