Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 8.32
Worship Caitanya Without Neglecting Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa
“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the independent Supreme Personality of Godhead, is greatly magnanimous. Unless one worships Him, one can never be liberated.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the independent Supreme Personality of Godhead and is greatly magnanimous. The translation states that without worshiping Him, one cannot be liberated.
- One should not give up worship of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa to worship Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Worshiping either alone does not bring advancement.
- One should not try to supersede the instructions of the six Gosvāmīs. They are ācāryas and very dear to Lord Caitanya.
