“Just hearing Sri Caitanya Caritamrta will destroy all miseries pertaining to the body, mind and other living entities.”
Caitanya Caritamrta (Antya 19.110)
A great personality appeared over 500 years ago to usher in a spiritual revolution through the process of nama-sankirtan, or the congregational chanting of the holy names of Krishna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is none other than Lord Krishna himself who appeared in the form of his own devotee in order to teach the people of this world the process of Bhakti and how to attain perfection in this life.
March 28 marks the appearance day of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and is known as Gaura Purnima. As part of this year’s festivities (virtual), we are offering a very special opportunity to bring home a maha-set of Caitanya Caritamrta placed on the temple altar. Please note limited quantities are available.
Why Caitanya Caritamrta?
Caitanya-Caritamrta reveals the deep compassion and munificence of God when He appears as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In our age of spiritual apathy and material allure, His propagation of nama-sankirtan (congregational chanting of the holy name) offers living entities a lifeline to experience the profound happiness that comes from a relationship with God. Studying this most accurate, authentic, and philosophical biography of Sri Caitanya will surely inspire one to take full advantage of this priceless gift.
