Come with me and be with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu when He is going from Purī to South India to search for His brother, Viśvarūpa. This was only a pretext, however. He actually wanted to make all of South India, and the whole world, pure devotees so that they would all chant and remember Kṛṣṇa and be happy forever. Without chanting, no one can be happy in this world. You should know this.
Mahāprabhu told everyone who came to Him, “I am telling you, and you should also tell anyone you meet: ‘You should chant:
Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare
Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare
and in turn he will tell others. By my order you should preach this to others.” This is the order of Mahāprabhu.
I have also come here only to tell you to be happy. Be merciful to me and be happy. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is a very easy process to become happy, and so you should all follow. Those who are not yet following should follow.
