Lord Caitanya His Life and Teachings By: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedant

Lord Caitanya: His Life and Teachings (LCLT) Throughout the ages, many avatāras— divinely inspired teachers and incarnations of God have appeared in the world, but none has ever distributed spiritual love as freely as the Golden Avatāra, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Caitanya Mahāprabhu (Mahāprabhu means ‘‘the Great Master’’) appeared in Bengal, India, in 1486, and He lived for 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 at the age of 24 to teach the forgotten essence of the ancient Vedic wisdom throughout India. 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.
