Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 4.226

His Inner Tasting and Public Mission

“Thus He initiated the dharma for the Age of Kali. The devotees of Lord Caitanya know all these truths.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 4.226, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Lord Caitanya is Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, the absolute enjoyer of the love of the gopīs.
  • He assumes the role of the gopīs to taste the happiness of transcendental mellows from their position.
  • While appearing in that mode, He also propagated the religious process for the Age of Kali in a most fascinating way. Only His confidential devotees can understand this transcendental secret.
