Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: His Life and Precepts
The moon was eclipsed at the time of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's birth, and the people of Nadia were then engaged, as was usual on such occasions, in bathing in the Bhagirathi [Ganges] with loud cheers of Haribol! (Article by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura)

Teachings of Lord Caitanya
Lord Caitanya taught this philosophy through the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. He taught that the holy name of the Lord is the sound incarnation of the Lord and that since the Lord is the absolute whole, there is no difference between His holy name and His transcendental form. Thus by chanting the holy name of the Lord one can directly associate with the Supreme Lord by sound vibration (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Who is Lord Caitanya?
The word caitanya means “living force,” carita means “character,” and amrta means “immortal.” As living entities we can move, but a table cannot because it does not possess living force. Movement and activity may be considered signs or symptoms of the living force. Indeed, it may be said that there can be no activity without the living force. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
While other forms of the Lord descended with various paraphernalia to deal with the demoniac and irreligious influences of the time, Lord Sri Caitanya was equipped with the most powerful weapon against irreligion, the Maha Mantra. The chanting of the holy name of Lord Sri Krishna is the sublime and recommended process in this age for the deliverance of all souls from the clutches of maya (illusion) and irreligion (Article by Dharmaksetra das)

THE GOLDEN AVATAR
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared during an eclipse on the full moon night of March in Mayapur India about 500 years ago. During eclipses in India it is the custom of the people to go to the holy rivers and chant mantras to invoke auspiciousness. (Article by Gauridasa Pandita dasa)

Lord Chaitanya Defeats the Buddhists
Having made their plot, the Buddhists brought a plate of untouchable food before Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and called it maha-prasada. When the contaminated food was offered to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a very large bird appeared on the spot, picked up the plate in its beak and flew away. Indeed, the untouchable food fell upon the Buddhists, and the large bird dropped the plate on the head of the chief Buddhist (Article by Stoka Krishna dasa)

The Cleansing of the Gundica Temple
