As stated in *Caitanya-caritāmṛta* [[cc/antya/7/11|(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.
