First, the holy name is vibrated by Srr Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Whensomeone hears from Him directly, he is purified. When another person hears fromthat person, he also is purified. In this way the purification process is advancedamong pure devotees. Srr Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality ofGodhead, and no one can claim His potency. Nonetheless, if one is a pure devotee,hundreds and thousands of men can be purified by his vibration. This potencyis within every living being, provided he chants the Hare Krr:Ja maha-mantraoffenselessly and without material motives. When a pure devotee chants offenselessly,another person will become a Vail)ava, and from him anotherVail)ava will emerge. This is the parampara system.TEXT 50q,f
