Chaitanya Mahaprabhu: The Story of Bengal's Greatest Bhakti Saint

Chitrita Banerji (Author)

Synopsis

A sensitive, moving and deeply researched telling of Sri Chaitanya’s life

In this beautifully written, lovingly evoked book, acclaimed author Chitrita Banerji brings alive one of our greatest medieval saints – Chaitanya Mahaprabhu of Nabadwip, Bengal. A mystic who believed in love over ideology, song and dance over ritual and who revolutionized religion in Bengal, Chaitanya is one of the few medieval religious figures who is worshipped even today through the ISKCON movement. Banerji draws a superb picture of the world he came from, the food he ate, his friendships and family ties alongside his extraordinary life in this biography.
