Sri Caitanya Caritamrta (Complete Set-9 Volumes)

Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta is a vital scripture in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, penned by Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami in the 16th century. While translating it, Srila Prabhupada called it an advanced study in spiritual life. This book provides key information about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, considered the most merciful form of God, and His amazing activities and companions. It presents Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as Lord Krishna's incarnation for this era.

Sri Caitanya-caritamrita is the main text on the life and teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who appeared in India five hundred years ago. He introduced chanting the holy names of God as the method of realizing God in our time. This movement, known as the Hare Krishna movement, follows Sri Caitanya's teachings. He made significant changes in India in four ways: philosophically, by engaging with and converting prominent philosophers; religiously, by organizing a large theistic movement; socially, by challenging the caste system's religious inequalities; and politically, by leading a massive civil disobedience movement in Bengal, long before Gandhi.

This English translation and commentary by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada reflect his deep knowledge of Bengali and Sanskrit, his close understanding of Sri Caitanya's teachings, and his profound devotion to God. This edition includes Bengali text, roman transliteration, word-for-word translations, translations, and purports by Srila Prabhupada.
