Today we celebrate the holy day 531 years ago, when the Golden Avatar of Krishna, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, appeared in order to teach us how to reconnect with God through loving service. To give people relief from the miseries of this dark age, He began the Sankirtan movement of chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

The Vedic scriptures affirm that attentive chanting of these sixteen names of God can deliver one from the greatest suffering experienced in the cycle of repeated birth, disease, old age and death, what to speak of plain old stress. While there are innumerable names for God, and all of them are equally good because they indicate the Supreme Personality of Godhead, these sixteen names are especially recommended for this age by great saintly teachers who attained success by chanting this mantra.

In 1965, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s movement to the West, along with the chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, and founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness to carry on this mission.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu did not come to create a new religion. He came to widely and freely distribute the gift of love of God, Bhakti-yoga, the essence of all religion, a means by which we can fix our broken relationships with our Creator through loving acts of service towards Him and towards all of His creatures.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission will have been a success when people of all faiths unite together with the realization that they are all children of the same Father, all praying for the same salvation, all one big, global family, all dancing blissfully together while chanting His Holy Names.

The miracle of Srila Prabhupada!
"Yes, from the very beginning I went to New York because I thought that Krishna Consciousness is the most important idea in the world, so let me go to that place, New York, which is the most important city in the world, and if I am able to do anything for Krishna and my Spiritual Master, even I am at the fag-end of my life, at least let me try for it there. So my dreams have all come true, and all of you nice boys and girls are getting the credit. When I was alone in your New York, I was thinking, who will listen to me in this horrible, sinful place? All right, I shall stay little longer, at least I can distribute a few of my books, that is something. But Krishna was all along preparing something I could not see, and He brought you to me one by one, sincere American boys and girls, to be trained-up for doing the work of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Now I can see that it is a miracle. Otherwise, your city of New York, one single old man, with only a few books to sell for barely getting eatables, how he can survive, what to speak of introducing God-consciousness movement for saving the humankind? That is Krishna's miracle. Now I can see it."
(Srila Prabhupada letter to Sudama, December 23, 1972)
