Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

Posted by Jitender Verma on March 11, 2025 at 2:19am in Reincarnation, Bhakti, and Guru

Hare Krsna everyone,

 

My humble pranams to all. I am new to ISKCON and I have a question out of curiousity. Gaudiya Vaishnavs consider Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Ji as an avatar of Krsna and Radha combined. But why this is not mentioned in Srimad Bhagvatam?

 

Any other source where we can find this refrence?

 

Hare Krsna

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

    Srimad Bhagavatam is full of eternal pastimes or Lila's of Lord Sri Krsna and Chaitanya Caritamrita is the mind of Lord Sri Krsna( here everything about Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu abd His associates).

     

    Lord Chaitanya is the Kali Yuga avatar and He is Lord Krsna Himself acting as a devotee of the Lord Sri Krsna, just to teach us how to be devoted to Lord Sri Krsna and chanting , dancing & feasting ! He is the most merciful for the Kali Yuga!

     

    Hari Bol!

    ŚB 11.5.32

    कृष्णवर्णं त्विषाकृष्णं साङ्गोपाङ्गास्त्रपार्षदम् ।
    यज्ञै: सङ्कीर्तनप्रायैर्यजन्ति हि सुमेधस: ॥ ३२ ॥
    kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
    sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
    yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
    yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ
     
    In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.
     
    It is mentioned that He is not blackish, but he is Krishna HIMSELF.
     
    Indirectly mentioned that He is gaura varna ( fair) and will make many people perfom congregational chanting.
     
    Hare Krishna

    Hare Krsna

    But why this is not mentioned in Srimad Bhagvatam?

    Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared aproximately 4500 years after Srimad Bhagavatam was compiled. So detailed pastimes of Lord Chaitanya have not been described in Srimad Bhagavatam the way pastimes of Lord Narasimha or Lord Vamana are described. 

    Any other source where we can find this refrence?

    Please refer to Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita compiled by Srila Krsnadas Kaviraj Goswami

    Hare Krsna
