Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

Live like a tree. The trees provide shade even to those who hew its main branch.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, born Vishvambhar Mishra, was a 15th-century Indian Hindu saint from Bengal. He is revered as a combined avatar of Radha and Krishna by Gaudiya Vaishnavas and is known for expounding Gaudiya Vaishnavism. This religious movement emphasizes the worship of Lord Vishnu and promotes Bhakti yoga as a means to realize the ultimate truth. Chaitanya is also credited with popularizing the ‘Maha Mantra’ or ‘Hare Krishna Mantra’ and composed the ‘Siksastakam’, a prayer of eight verses in Sanskrit. His teachings and devotion to Lord Krishna through songs and dances earned him recognition as an avatar of Lord Krishna among his followers.
