PreviousPrakashananda and the Mayavada SannyasisNextHumility and Empowerment – Rupa Goswami

Last updated 1 year ago

Shri Chaitanya returns to Puri and teaches Vaishnava culture through His daily interactions. He shows great appreciation for devotees who embody humility, surrender, renunciation and unshakeable faith.

Note: Chapters Nine (Appreciation) and Ten (Correction) have been written thematically as opposed to chronologically.

Upon arrival in Puri, Shri Chaitanya took up residence at the house of Kasi Mishra. Surrounded by His exalted followers, Shri Chaitanya expressed great appreciation for their qualities of humility, surrender, renunciation and unshakeable faith. Their spotless example establishes the ideals of Vaishnava culture and etiquette.
