Five hundred years ago, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu shared the gift of love for God with everyone He met, offering a chance for all to experience the divine love He came to give. Leading a spiritual renaissance in 16th-century India, He emphasized the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra and launched a nonviolent movement, much like Gandhi's, based on the Vedic scriptures, which transcend sectarian divisions.
Chaitanya's teachings align with Lord Krishna's instructions in the Bhagavad-gita, where surrendering to Krishna leads to liberation. He advocated direct worship of Krishna and emphasized the perfection of loving devotion, as practiced by the gopis of Vrndavana, who loved Krishna selflessly. Chaitanya also recommended the Srimad-Bhagavatam as the ultimate scripture for developing pure love for Krishna, and He taught that meditation on the transcendental form of the Lord, as outlined in Sankhya-yoga, leads to the highest form of yoga, where one attains perfect union with Krishna. The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya presents a summary of His profound conversations and spiritual insights.
