Introduction

A short sketch of the life and teachings of Lord Chaitanya, the Preacher of Srimad-Bhagavatam

Many devotees of Lord Chaitanya like Srila Vrindavan das Thakur, Sri Lochan das Thakur, Srila Krishna das Kaviraj Goswami, Sri Kavikarnapura, Sri Prabodhananda Saraswati, Sri Rupa Goswami, Sri Sanatan Goswami, Sri Raghunath Bhatta Goswami, Sri Jiva Goswami, Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami, Sri Raghunath das Goswami and in this latter age within two hundred years, Sri Visvanath Chakravarti, Sri Baladev Vidyabhusan, Sri Shyamananda Goswami, Sri Narottam das Thakur, Sri Bhaktivinod Thakur and at last Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur (our spiritual master) and many other great and renowned scholars and devotees of the Lord have prepared voluminous books and literatures on the life and precepts of the Lord. Such literatures are all based on the shastras like the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharat and other histories and authentic literatures approved by the recognized acharyas. They are unique in composition and unrivaled in presentation, and they are full of transcendental knowledge. Unfortunately the people of the world are still ignorant of them, but when these literatures, which are mostly in Sanskrit and Bengali, come to light the world and when they are presented before thinking people, then India's glory and the message of love will overflood this morbid world, which is vainly searching after peace and prosperity by various illusory methods not approved by the acharyas in the chain of disciplic succession.
