Lord Gaurāṅga is calling, "Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! You have slept so long on the lap of the witch Māyā!
"You came into this world of birth and death saying 'My Lord, I will certainly worship You,' but you have forgotten this promise and remained in great ignorance.
"I have descended just to save you. Except for Me, who is your friend?
"I have brought the medicine to eradicate the disease of illusion. Now pray for this Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and take it."
Bhaktivinoda fell at the lotus feet of Lord Gaurāṅga, and after begging for the holy name, he received that mahā-mantra.
