In the Kali Yuga the Supreme Lord comes as One Who

always chants the Holy Name of Sri Krishna, Who is Sri

Krishna Himself, Whose complexion is yellow.

—Srimad Bhagwatam (X1:5:32)

These words of the massive Srimad Bhagwatam, recorded
by the author of the famous Bhagavad-Gita, Vyasadev,
foretell the advent of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord
Chaitanya, like Christ, was a spiritual revolutionary Who
taught that conceptions of being Hindu, Christian,
Muslim, black, white, male and female are “bodily
designations that are finished when the body is finished.”
His Peace Formula is this: all living entities, including
trees, bacteria, ants, cows and humans are eternal spiritual
sparks of the Supreme Lord and all are brothers who have
the same One Father. In Teachings of Lord Chaitanya,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami presents to the West the
sublime life and teachings of this great transcendental
Personality of the 15th century Whose Sankirtan Move-
ment swept first India, and now the West.

Many philosophers recognise God to be a force that is
beyond name or form, but Chaitanya Mahaprabhu taught
that God is a Person Who has Form, Qualities, Name
and Pastimes—but Who is nevertheless Absolute and
Transcendental and beyond anything we have experienced
in this material world.

Lord Chaitanya journeyed up and down the sub-
continent of India to deliver the easiest, most glorious
method of self-realisation: chanting of the Hare Krishna
Mantra. His explanations of the esoteric Vedanta Sutra
converted many impersonalists, turning them “from
dried sticks into blooming flowers.” He led thousands
in massive Kirtan parades of ecstacy, and even caused
tigers in the jungles to swoon.

Teachings of Lord Chaitanya is a remarkable book which
answers definitively the unanswered questions burning
within man’s heart. The Swamiji’s chapter entitled “The
Beauty of Krishna” is a description of the stunning beauty
of God which stands by itself as one of the most sublime
lyrical achievements in all mystic literature. His vast
scholarship qualifies him as the most erudite Vedic scholar
now writing in English. As Acharya (meaning one who
teaches by example) of the Sankirtan Movement today,
the Swami lectures at numerous temples and writes out
of his daily experiences with the mh of a master,
so that his books are both learned and practical, instructive
as well as deeply moving. To read A. C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami’s books is to understand that here is one who
knows the Absolute Truth, one who can teach It per-
fectly.
