Prabhupāda: When they first met Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they offered this prayer:

:''namo mahā-vadānyāya''
:''kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te''
:''kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya-''
:''nāmne gaura-tvise namaḥ''
:([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.53|CC Madhya 19.53]])

These ministers were, by caste, ''brāhmaṇa'', but because they accepted the service in Muhammadan government, they were rejected from the ''brāhmaṇa'' society. And they also became like Muhammadans. They changed their names to Sākara Mallika and Dabira Khāsa. Practically they became Muhammadan. And in those days many other Muhammadans, they also became this follower of Caitanya cult, especially Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Haridāsa Ṭhākura was born in Muhammadan family. These Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī, they were born in high-class ''brāhmaṇa'' family, but on account of their service in the Muhammadan government they were rejected from the ''brāhmaṇa'' society. So that is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's special mercy, that this Haridāsa Ṭhākura, who was actually born in Muhammadan family, he was made ''nāmācārya''. We offer our respect, "Nāmācārya Śrīla Haridāsa Ṭhākura." And we offer our respect to Sanātana Gosvāmī, ''vande rūpa-sanātanau''. . . Eh?

Devotee: . . .''raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau''.

Prabhupāda: ''Raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau''. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu's cult is special cult. And He wanted to preach not only in India but all over the world. We have several times discussed this point, ''pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi-grāma'' (CB ''Antya-khaṇḍa'' 4.126), this cult, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's cult.
