Lord Chaitanya, The Original Personality of Godhead

all over my body simply by attending to the Name of Gauranga? When will there be incessant flowing of my tears simply by uttering  Harer Nama  of the Lord? When will Lord Nityananda be merciful upon me, and all my desires for material enjoyment become insignificant? When shall I be purified by giving up all contaminations of material enjoyment; and when shall I be able to see the transcendental Abode, Vrindaban? When shall I be eager to accept the six Goswamis as my prime guidance?

The conditional living entities in the material world, especially at the present age of Kali, are being overpowered by the flood of love of God inaugurated by Lord Chaitanya and His Associates.
There is a nice verse in this connection, written by His Holiness Prabodhananda Saraswati in his book  Sri Chaitanya Chandramrita . In that verse it is stated that materialistic persons are very enthusiastic in the matter of maintaining their family members, wife and children; and there are many mystic speculators who are engaged in speculating on being liberated from the miseries of material life, and therefore they undergo various kinds of austerities and penances. But persons who have discovered the greatest transcendental flavor,
