Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda** | | | |---|---| | **First Published** | 1968 (ISKCON Press) | | **Chapters** | 32 | | **Subject** | The philosophy and mission of Lord Caitanya | | **Language** | English | --- ## About This Book *From the back cover:* > In the Kali Yuga the Supreme Lord comes as One Who always chants the Holy Name of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Who is Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, Whose complexion is yellow. > — *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.5.32* These words of the massive *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,* recorded by the author of the famous *Bhagavad-gītā,* Vyāsadeva, foretell the advent of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Lord Caitanya, like Christ, was a spiritual revolutionary Who taught that conceptions of being Hindu, Christian, Muslim, black, white, male and female are "bodily designations that are finished when the body is finished." His Peace Formula is this: all living entities, including trees, bacteria, ants, cows and humans are eternal spiritual sparks of the Supreme Lord and all are brothers who have the same One Father. In *Teachings of Lord Caitanya,* A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami presents to the West the sublime life and teachings of this great transcendental Personality of the 15th century Whose Saṅkīrtana Movement swept first India, and now the West. Many philosophers recognize God to be a force that is beyond name or form, but Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught that God is a Person Who has Form, Qualities, Name and Pastimes—but Who is nevertheless Absolute and Transcendental and beyond anything we have experienced in this material world. Lord Caitanya journeyed up and down the subcontinent of India to deliver the easiest, most glorious method of self-realization: chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mantra. His explanations of the esoteric *Vedānta-sūtra* converted many impersonalists, turning them "from dried sticks into blooming flowers." He led thousands in massive kīrtana parades of ecstasy, and even caused tigers in the jungles to swoon. *Teachings of Lord Caitanya* is a remarkable book which answers definitively the unanswered questions burning within man's heart.
