Taking shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's lotus feet brings supreme glorification through eternal loving service to Krishna.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 7.2 — March 2, 1974, Māyāpur 740302CC-MAYAPUR [28:58 Minutes] CcAdi-07.002_740302CC-MAYAPUR Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] jaya jaya mahāprabhu śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya tāṭhāra caraṇāśrita sei baḍa dhanya [Cc. Ādi 7.2] [break] [02:22] Translation: "Let me offer glorification to the Supreme Lord, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
One who has taken shelter of His lotus feet is the most glorified person." Prabhupāda: jaya jaya mahāprabhu śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya tāṭhāra caraṇāśrita sei baḍa dhanya [Cc. Ādi 7.2] Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī dictated this verse: namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya- nāmne... [Cc. Madhya 19.53] He's Kṛṣṇa Himself. In this Kali-yuga, Kṛṣṇa's direct identification, incarnation, is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
This is also confirmed in all the Vedic literature—Mahābhārata, Purāṇa, Upaniṣad—and the essence of all Vedic literature is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. There is also Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He's accepted as the Supreme Lord. kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñair saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ [SB 11.5.32] This is mentioned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that in the Kali-yuga the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa is, by His bodily complexion, akṛṣṇa. Akṛṣṇa means "not kṛṣṇa." The "not kṛṣṇa" means there are many other colors.
So in the śāstra it is said that Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in the four yugas in four different colors: śukla raktas tathā pīta idānīṁ kṛṣṇataṁ gataḥ [SB 10.8.13]. When Kṛṣṇa was born, Gargamuni, the family priest... It is the system among the Vedic culturalists that as soon as a child is born, immediately his horoscope is made and his past, future is calculated. Janma-jñasthi[?]. So that function, on account of poverty and many other causes, nobody practically practices.
But this is also one of the saṁskāra. Before birth there is saṁskāra, garbhādhāna saṁskāra. While the child is within the womb, there is saṁskāra. In this way, a human body is purified by different kinds of saṁskāras, or purificatory methods.
Daśabhidasaṁskāra. Saṁskārād bhaved dvija. Janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ. If in...
Anyone is born by father and mother... Even cats and dogs, they have got father and mother. Any life you get, there is father and mother. Therefore in the Prema-vivarta there is a śloka: janame janame sabe pitā-mātā pāya kṛṣṇa guru nahi mile bhaja hari ei [Prema-vivarta] In any birth, you'll get father, mother.
