Hinduism Vaishnavism

Summary: The Chaitanya Bhagavata by Sri Vrindavan Das Thakura is a scripture belonging to the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition from the 16th century. It is similair in content to the Caitanya Caritamrita, but asserts that Chaitanya was the direct incarnation of Krishna (as Bhagavan). The Caitanya Bhagavata contains three major parts including many details regarding the socio-religious status of Bengal during and before the time of writing this book.

This edition includes the Gaudiya-bhasya Commentary and Chapter Summaries of His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacarya Shri Shrimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Maharaja.
