In this devotional short, Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami explains how Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s sankirtan tour of southern India sparked a massive wave of devotion. He describes how people traveled great distances to witness Caitanya’s public chanting and dancing, and how, after experiencing the sankirtan, they themselves began to chant and dance. When these new devotees returned to their villages, their enthusiasm inspired others, creating a cascading spread of devotion throughout the region. Goswami characterizes this rapid, contagious growth of spiritual practice as a "spiritual epidemic," illustrating the powerful impact of Caitanya’s mission and suggesting it as a reason why Krishna incarnated again as Caitanya.
