Prabhupada, Bhubaneswar, January 23, 1977: […] Srila Rupa Gosvami he has given his direction,
namo maha-vadanyaya krishna-prema-pradaya te krishnaya krishna-caitanya namne gaura-tvise namah [Madhya 19.53]
Idea is Srila Rupa Gosvami, offering his obeisances to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, namo maha-vadanyaya: “The greatest munificent charitable person because You are giving Krishna-prema. Nobody can understand Krishna, but You are giving Krishna-prema.”
Namo maha-vadanyaya krishna-prema-pradaya te krishnaya krishna-caitanya [Madhya 19.53] “You are Krishna. You have appeared again as Krishna Caitanya. Therefore I offer my obeisances.”
Similarly Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, who was the learned scholar, pandita, in the assembly of Maharaja Prataparudra…sabha-pandita. So he also has written many verses. One of them is that,
vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti-yoga-siksartham ekah purusah puranah sri-krishna-caitanya-sarira-dhari krpambudhir yas tam aham prapadye [Cc. Madya 6.254]
“This Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the same person.” Vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti. “In order to teach Krishna consciousness, He has now appeared as Krishna Caitanya.” Vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti yoga-siksartham ekah purusah puranah [Cc. Madya 6.254]. Sasvata-purana. Krishna is the Purana. Nava-yauvanam ca. In the Brahma-samhita it is said, advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam purana nava-yauvanam ca [Bs. 5.33]
He’s the oldest person, adi-purusa, but nava-yauvana. So in every way you’ll find that if we want to understand Krishna, then we have to take shelter of this Krishna’s renounced order of life in the form of Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
