Purport
As stated in Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Antya 7.11): ¶
kali-kālera dharma-kṛṣṇa-nāma-saṅkīrtana
kṛṣṇa-śakti vinā nahe tāra pravartana
Unless one is empowered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, one cannot spread the holy names of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra throughout the world. Persons who do so are empowered. Therefore they are sometimes called āveśa-avatāras or incarnations, for they are endowed with the power of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. ¶
