We rebel at modern science's contention that we can be analyzed into lifeless
laws and particles.We feel that personality is the solid foundation and
unifying principle of our existence. That intuition is correct, says the
Vedic philosophy of ancient India, which loudly proclaims the primacy of
personality in every sphere of life and knowledge. And the essential Vedic
teachings on the universal nature of personality are summarized in Sri Isopanisad,
the foremost of the 108 Upanisads. |

Sri Caitanya-caritamrita - free

Russian language version also available

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta was written by Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami. This
book contains the unabridged original Bengali text, Roman transliterations,
synonyms, translation and elaborate purports by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada. This is the definitive history and biography of Sri Krishna
Caitanya. Here is a description of Sri Caitanya's life and teachings.
Sri Caitanya pioneered a great social and spiritual movement in India over
five hundred years ago, which today continues to spread its profound influence
worldwide. While man in the West was exploring outward in the physical universe,
in India Sri Krishna Caitanya was exploring inward, exhibiting unparalleled
spiritual potency, and discovering the truths of consciousness and transcendental
reality. As a young boy he overwhelmed astounded scholars, establishing
his own school at the age of sixteen. Within his lifetime, Sri Caitanya
transformed India in four respects: philosophically, by defeating the greatest
philosophers of his day; socially, by opposing the blindly rigid caste system;
politically, by organizing India's first civil disobedience movement against
repression by the Mohammedan government; and spiritually, by freely distributing
nonsectarian love of God. Sri Caitanya-caritamrta presents Sri Caitanya
as the Golden Avatar, the incarnation of Krishna in this age in the form
of His devotee.
