Jayapataka Swami: The Lord says that He can be achieved by those who are surrendered to Him. Lord Caitanya is more merciful than Krsna. Krsna demands surrender, He will deliver you. Lord Caitanya gives out love of Krsna first, and then you can achieve Krsna. So, you can take serve Lord Krsna constantly or you can take Lord Krsna’s mercy Either way by Lord Caitanya’s mercy you get devotional service, and by bhakti you can achieve Krsna. Or if you have bhakti, you can serve Krsna, and you can achieve Him. So since we need bhakti, we need Lord Caitanya’s mercy. That is why like, having prasadam in the Govinda Dvadasi, in Santipur, gives you Govinda bhakti. And so hearing the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, we can also achieve special mercy. Also, hearing the glories of Murari Gupta, we get the mercy. Hearing the glories of Mukunda Datta we get mercy, hearing the glories of Haridasa Thakura we get mercy!
