Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu February 19, 2021 Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a 15th century Vedic spiritual leader, who is considered an avatar of Lord Krishna by his followers. Chaitanya founded Gaudiya Vaishnavism, which is a religious movement that promotes Vaishnavism or worship of Lord Vishnu as the Supreme Soul. Gaudiya Vaishnavism teaches the acceptance of Bhakti yoga as a method to realize the ultimate truth. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is credited with popularizing the ‘Maha Mantra’ or ‘Hare Krishna Mantra.’ He is also known for composing in Sanskrit a prayer of eight verses, known as ‘Siksastakam.’ Said to have been born with features similar to that of Lord Krishna, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a child prodigy, and became a scholar at a very young age. He even opened a school and had thousands of followers very early in his life. Though not much about his sudden and mysterious disappearance or demise is known, a few scholars and researchers believe that he might have died of epilepsy. However, this conclusion is still debatable as there are other accounts that suggest various other theories, including a theory of murder and magical disappearance. The Tour For many years, Chaitanya travelled the length and breadth of India, advocating Bhakti yoga. Chanting the name of Krishna, Chaitanya would travel on foot to various places in a state of absolute bliss or ecstasy. In 1515, Chaitanya visited Vrindavan, believed to be the birth place of Lord Krishna. The main objective of Chaitanya’s visit was later said to be ‘reinvention,’ as Chaitanya wanted to identify important places associated with Lord Krishna, in Vrindavan.

If You Want to Know the Lord, Become Acaryavan
If you want to know the Lord, become acaryavan If you want to know the Lord, become acaryavan ISKCON Vrindavan We welcome all the assembled devotees and thank you for being with us this morning to hear Srimad Bhagavatam canto nine chapter eleven text number one. I already gave a little indication and I’m sure you heard the announcement this morning. Today is Srila Jiva Goswami’s disappearance day festival. So we will do a Bhagavatam verse and also we must remember Srila Jiva Goswami. Today is a very special day. Please repeat: Sri Suka Uvaca bhagavan atmanatmanam rama uttama-kalpakaih sarva-devamayam devam ije athacaryavan makhaih Translation and purport by SrilaPrabhupada ki Jai. Sukadeva Gosvami said: Thereafter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Ramacandra, accepted an acarya and performed sacrifices [yajnas] with opulent paraphernalia. Thus He Himself worshiped Himself, for He is the Supreme Lord of all demigods. Purport: Sarvarhanam acyutejya. If Acyuta, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is worshiped, then everyone is worshiped. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam yathatarormula-nisecanena trpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopasakhah pranopaharac ca yathendriyanam tathaiva sarvarhanam acyutejya [SB 4.31.13] “As pouring water on the root of a tree nourishes the trunk, branches, twigs and leaves, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead satisfies the demigods, who are part of that Supreme Personality.” Performing yajna involves worshiping the Supreme Lord. Here the Supreme Lord worshiped the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is said, bhagavan atmanatmanam ije: the Lord worshiped Himself by Himself.

Sri-Chaitanya-Life-And-Precepts-Bhaktivinode.Pdf
About this digitized Edition This edition is based on scans from an original specimen printed in 1896. The book was sent by the author to various libraries and universities in the western world, such as McGill University in Montreal, Canada. The original book contained the Sanskrit version entitled “ Srimad Gouran - galila-Smaranamangal-Stotram ” in addition to the English text. Unfortu - nately, the scanned pages of the original at our disposal were of inferior technical quality. We therefore decided to publish this English-only ver - sion first. Out of deep respect for the author, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, the original text has been taken from the original without any changes—As It Is. That includes a few typesetting errors, perceived inconsistency in the use of type in Italics , and generous use of white spaces around punc - tuation marks. The only exceptions to this are 5 instances based on hand - written corrections on the original pages. After a thorough research we concluded that these corrections were either made by the author himself, or sanctioned by him. You will find images of these at the bottom of this page with reference to the pages of occurrence. Although the layout and typesetting of this edition were done “from scratch” we worked hard to maintain the “look and feel” of the original. The typefaces used in this publication are either a very close match—or is—as in the case of the body text typeface, a direct descendent of the original. We hope that our attempts to produce a version for convenient on-screen reading and for desktop printing were successful.
