Throughout the ages, many avataras, divinely inspired teachers and incarnations of God have appeared in the world, but none
has ever distributed spiritual love as freely as the Golden Avatara, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Mahaprabhu, means the 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. Renowned as a great saint even in His youth, Lord Caitanya left His family and friends at the age of 24 to teach the forgotten essence of ancient Vedic wisdom throughtout India. Although He Himself was a fully remounced mystic, He taught how one can act in spiritual consciousness even within ones home, occupation and social affairs. Thus His teachings, although timeless, bear special relevance for todays world. He taught a practical process that anyone can perform to directly feel the ecstasy of pure love of God. This book tells about the extraordinary life of this great saint and explains the essence of His teachings.
