TRANSLATION
Praying at the lotus feet of Sri Rūpa and Sri Raghunatha, always desiring their mercy, I, Krsnadasa, narrate Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta, following in their footsteps.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to preach the sahkirtana movement of love of Krsna throughout the entire world, and therefore during His presence He inspired the sahkirtana movement. Specifically, He sent Rūpa Gosvami to Vrndavana and Nityananda to Bengal and personally went to South India. In this way He kindly left the task of preaching His cult in the rest of the world to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The members of this Society must always remember that if they stick to the regulative principles and preach sincerely according to the instructions of the acaryas, surely they will have the profound blessings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and their preaching work will be successful everywhere throughout the world.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to the Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, Seventh Chapter, describing Lord Caitanya in five features.
