Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Life & Pastimes
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna Himself, who appeared in the mood and golden complexion of Srimati Radharani to taste the confidential mellows of pure love and inaugurate the congregational chanting of the Holy Names for the age of Kali.
Teachings & Siddhanta
Taught Achintya-bhedabheda-tattva (inconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference) and established that chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra with humility higher than a tree and tolerance greater than grass is the sole means to achieve unalloyed love of Godhead (prema-puyusha).
