TEACHINGS OF LORD CHAITANYA
There is no difference between the teachings of Lord Caitanya presented here and the teachings of Lord Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gita.The teachings of Lord Caitanya are practical demonstrations of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s teachings.Lord Caitanya teaches the science of Krishna Consciousness.That science is absolute.Dry mental speculators try to restrain themselves from material attachment, but it is generally found that mind is too strong to be controlled. Mind drags one down to sensual activities. A person in Krishna consciousness doesn’t run this risk.One has to engage his mind and senses in Krishna Conscious activities.Such activities can only constitute the goal of human perfection.Lord Caitanya teaches one how to do this in practice. This book Teachings of Lord caitanya presents those teachings in a simplified and comprehensible way by presenting the teachings of Rupa Goswami,Santana Goswami, Unlimited forms of Lord,separately explained chapters on opulences of Lord Kṛṣṇa,The Beauty of Lord Kṛṣṇa,How to approach god, rendering service to Lord,Our relation with supreme, The goal of Vedanta study, the ecstasy of Lord and the transcendental pastimes of Radha and Kṛṣṇa,revealing the pure transcendental love for Kṛṣṇa, and about Lord Caitanya, the Original personality of Godhead and many more.Being engrossed in the material body, the conditioned soul only increases the pages of history by all kinds of material activities.The teachings of Lord Caitanya can help human society stop such unnecessary and temporary activities.By these teachings humanity can be elevated to the topmost platform of spiritual activity.Illuminating knowledge can be acquired from the teachings of Lord Caitanya, and by such knowledge only one can advance in spiritual existence.Everyone has to suffer or enjoy the fruits of his activity; no one can check the laws of material nature which governs such things. As long as one is engaged in fruitive activities, he cannot attain the ultimate goal of life. By understanding the teachings of Lord Caitanya, human society will experience a new light of spiritual life which will open the field of activity for the pure soul.
Just as Kṛṣṇa attracted the gopis by the sweet sound of His flute, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta prays that He will also attract the reader’s mind by His transcendental vibration.And the purpose of this book Teachings of Lord Caitanya, to transmit the essence of that vibration in an easily readable summary study.
