Shri
Chaitanya-caritamrta
is the main work on the life and teachings of Shri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu, the incarnation of Krishna who appeared in India
five hundred years ago. Lord Chaitanya introduced the chanting
of the holy names of God as the prescribed method of
God-realization for our time. He began what is today called
the Hare Krishna movement, since the movement's founder, Srila
Prabhupada, comes in the Chaitanya line of spiritual masters.
Lord Chaitanya transformed the face of India in four respects:
philosophically, by encountering, defeating and converting the
greatest philosophers and thinkers of His day; religiously, by
organizing the largest, most widespread theistic movement in
India's history; socially, by His strong challenges to the
religious inequities of the caste system; politically, by His
organization of a massive civil disobedience movement in
Bengal, more than four centuries before Gandhi. This English
translation with commentary, by His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, reveals his consummate Bengali
and Sanskrit scholarship, his intimate familiarity with the
precepts of Sri Chaitanya, and his pure devotion to God.
