Taking the role of His own devotee, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared as Lord Caitanya about five centuries ago in Bengal, India, and began a revolution in spiritual consciousness that has profoundly affected the lives of millions worldwide. His conversations with the great scholars, kings, and mystics of the day form the basis of Teachings of Lord Caitanya, which is a summary study of the dialogues recorded in His biography, Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta. The extensive references in Teachings of Lord Caitanya make it an invaluable compendium of devotional Indian philosophy.
