Srila Prabhupada — […] So Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of His great compassion for the fallen souls, He appeared. Krishna comes also. But Krishna is not so liberal. Krishna makes condition that “First of all you surrender. Then I take charge of you.”
But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is more compassionate than Krishna, although Krishna and Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the same thing. So by Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mercy we are so easily understanding Krishna. So that Caitanya Mahaprabhu is present here. You worship Him. It is not very difficult.
Yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah. Krishna-varnam tvisakrsnam sangopangastra-parsadam, yajnaih sankirtanam
[SB 11.5.32]
You simply chant Hare Krishna mantra, and whatever you can, offer Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is very kind. He does not take offense. Radha-Krishna worship is little difficult. We have to worship Him with great awe and veneration.
But Caitanya Mahaprabhu has voluntarily come to deliver the fallen souls. Little service, He will be satisfied. He will be satisfied. But do not neglect. Because He is very kind and compassionate, that does not mean we should forget His position. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
So we should offer Him very great respect, and as far possible… But the advantage is that Caitanya Mahaprabhu does not take any offense. And to worship Him, to please Him, is very easy. Yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah.
Simply you chant Hare Krishna maha-mantra and dance, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu will be very pleased. He introduced this dancing and chanting, and this is the easiest process for God realization. So as far as possible… If possible, twenty-four hours. If that is not possible, at least four times, six times, chant Hare Krishna mantra before Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and you will get success in your life. This is a fact.
So I am very glad that you are worshiping Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu. So continue to do this. There is no need of installing Radha-Krishna at least at the present moment. When you become more advanced in spiritual consciousness, you can establish. But even if you do not establish, it doesn’t matter.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is sufficient. Sri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is combination of Radha-Krishna. In one place you worship Radha and Krishna. So I see this place is very nice, and you are also very nice.
Take advantage of this opportunity, and go on chanting Hare Krishna mantra, and worship Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He will bless you sufficiently to become successful in getting shelter of the lotus feet of Radha and Krishna.
Thank you very much. (end)

pamho prabhus agtACBSP, we are so lucky to be born in this age of kali yuga because simply by chanting Hare Krsna Maha Mantra one reaches the state of perfection.
As Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita (18.55), bhaktya mam abhijanati: “Only through the process of bhakti (love and devotion) can one understand God.” Krishna never says one can understand Him by other processes. No. Only through bhakti. If you are interested in knowing God and loving Him, then you must accept the devotional process. No other process will help you.
Our beloved acharya is ordering us here to try our best to fulfil the desire of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA by performing yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah – to spread the congregational chanting of the Holy Name.
We are most fortunate in this age of kali-yuga because by cooperating (Sankirtan) to spread the great brhat mrdanga of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA everyone gets rid of material concept of life and gets promoted to the spiritual kingdom.
