Significado

When Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī went to Vṛndāvana, there was not a single temple, but by their preaching they were gradually able to construct various temples. Sanātana Gosvāmī constructed the Madana-mohana temple, and Rūpa Gosvāmī constructed the Govindajī temple. Similarly, their nephew Jīva Gosvāmī constructed the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple, Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī constructed the Rādhā-ramaṇa temple, Śrī Lokanātha Gosvāmī constructed the Gokulānanda temple, and Śyāmānanda Gosvāmī constructed the Śyāmasundara temple. In this way, many temples were gradually constructed. For preaching, construction of temples is also necessary. The Gosvāmīs not only engaged in writing books but also constructed temples because both are needed for preaching work. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted the cult of His saṅkīrtana movement to spread all over the world. Now that the International Society for Krishna Consciousness has taken up this task of preaching the cult of Lord Caitanya, its members should not only construct temples in every town and village of the globe but also distribute the books that have already been written and further increase the number of books. Both distribution of books and construction of temples must continue side by side in parallel lines.

Cuando Rūpa Gosvāmī y Sanātana Gosvāmī fueron a Vṛndāvana, no había allí un sólo templo, pero con su prédica pudieron construir, poco a poco, varios de ellos. Sanātana Gosvāmī construyó el templo de Madana-mohana, y Rūpa Gosvāmī, el de Govindajī. Igualmente, su sobrino Jīva Gosvāmī construyó el templo de Rādhā-Dāmodara; Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, el de Rādhā-ramaṇa; Śrī Lokanātha Gosvāmī, el de Gokulānanda; y Śyāmānanda Gosvāmī el de Śyāmasundara. De esta manera, se construyeron gradualmente muchos templos. Para predicar también es necesario construir templos. Los Gosvāmīs no sólo se ocuparon de escribir libros, sino que también construyeron templos, porque las dos cosas son necesarias para predicar. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu quería que el culto de Su movimiento de saṅkīrtana se extendiese por todo el mundo. Ahora que la Asociación Internacional para la Conciencia de Kṛṣṇa ha hecho suya esta tarea de predicar el culto de Śrī Caitanya, sus miembros no sólo tienen que construir templos en todas las ciudades y aldeas del globo, sino que también deben distribuir los libros que ya se han escrito y, además, aumentar el número de estos libros. La distribución de libros y la construcción de templos deben continuar simultáneamente.
