Teachings of Lord Caitanya

Throughout the ages many avatars, divinely inspired
teachers and incarnations of God have appeared in the world, but none
has ever distributed love as freely as the Golden Avatar, Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. This great master appeared in Bengal, India in 1486 and He
lived for only 48 years. Yet He began a revolution in spiritual
consciousness that has profoundly affected the lives of millions of
people.

Renowned as a great saint even in His youth, Lord Caitanya left His
family and friends at the age of 24 to teach throughout India the
forgotten essence of the ancient Vedic wisdom. Although He Himself was
a fully renounced mystic, He taught how one can act in spiritual
consciousness even within one’s home, occupation, and social affairs.
Thus Lord Caitanya’s teachings, although timeless, bear special
relevance for today’s world.

Lord Caitanya taught a practical process that anyone can perform to
directly feel the ecstasy of pure love of God. This tape series tells
about the extraordinary life of this great saint and explains the
essence of His teachings. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, a disciplic descendant of the Lord and the author of this
work, is intimately familiar with the Lord’s teachings. He is thus
highly qualified to provide the reader with a genuine understanding and
appreciation of them.

master, founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
