The Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared on earth 500 years ago in the form of Lord Caitanya, who is God Himself playing the role of a devotee of Godhead. The eight verses entitled Sri Sri Sikshastakam, which were the only written instructions of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, reveals the essence of the Krishna consciousness movement.

pamho prabhus agtACBSP,
Sri Siksastakam is preferred prayer of SRILA PRABHUPADA after Ista-deve Vijnapati (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5edhYdvqCcU), Vaishnava song sung by SRILA NAROTTAMA DAS THAKUR.
First four slokas of Sri Siksastakam is meditation for vaidhi sadhaka bhaktas and the last four slokas are for Raganuga-sadhana bhaktas.
All Vaishnavas around the world know Sri Siksastakam as complete and perfect sabda-pramana of SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU in all the smrti and sruti sastra because the six Gosvamis of vrindavan gave to the whole world the essence of all scriptures through the eight instructions left by SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU, the hidden avatara, in the form of the holy name: brajendra-nandana jai saci-suta hoilo sei balarama hoilo nitai dina hina jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo, tara saksi jagai madhai.
SRI GAURA NITAI are non-different from SRI SRI KRSNA BALARAMA, spreading the Holy Name to deliver all the fallen conditioned souls, the two sinner Jagai and Madhai are the evidence of this.
Although born in Vaishnava family they were first class criminals, Vande Sri Krishna Chaitanya Nityananda sahodito gaudodaye pushpavanto chitrosango tamonado, SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA appeared in the horizon of Gouda Desha, West Bengal, to dissipate all the ignorance of this sinful age of kali yuga by perpetual chanting all life long the holy name of SRI SRI GAURA NITAI and never forget, trnad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih.
This is the most important sloka of Sri Siksastakam, the necklace of Tulasi devi that everyone should wear around one’s neck because without being humble in recognizing our fallen position it’s not possible to chant Hare Krsna maha mantra constantly, sada harih.
This is the sublime yuga-dharma for this age that simply by constant chanting Hare Krsna one becomes free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom, kaler dosa-nidhe rajann asti hy eko mahan gunah kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta-sangah param vrajet. (Bhag, 12.3.51)
SRI VAISNAVA GAUDIYA SAMPRADAYA KI JAI, SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAI,
