Purnendunarayan Singha wrote the Biography Book Shri Shri Chaitanya Katha.
After writing the first part of Shri Shri Chaitanya Katha, the author Purnendunarayan Singha started writing the commentary on the Brahma Sutra. He lost his way in the depths of scholarship. He entered the realm of pride and lost Sri Sri Chaitanya. He became deprived of his rights by practicing injustice. He abandoned devotion in dry knowledge. He therefore divided the book into two parts. Again, he started the second part on his own. If the readers wish, they can skip the first part at once.
The first part was published entirely in ‘Pantha’. Only the last chapter has been added. The second part has been published in Brahma Vidya. At the end of the four yugas, all the Vedas became extinct. At the beginning of the Satya Yuga, the Vedas had to be re-established by dancing. The new human race had to be taught A, B, and C again. At that time, human beings were completely children. As this childhood feeling fades away, the Treta Yuga arrives.
When did Krishnadvaipayana Vyasa determine and compile the parts of the Vedas?
Then how much of the Vedas can humans understand? As the human race grows and develops, so too do the Vedas appear. Those sages who, through their penance, through the reformation of previous births, and through special similes, occupy the highest place among the human race, attain the vision of the Vedas with the deep emotion of their hearts, reverence for purity. The same happened to us in the four yugas. In the flow of time, three sections of the Vedas are revealed one after another. Then Krishnadvaipayana Vyasa determined and compiled the parts of the Vedas and included the entire meaning of the Vedas in the fifth Veda, the Mahabharata. At this time, Shri Krishna in the form of Narayana explained the entire significance of the Vedas to Arjuna in the form of man.
What was started in the Vedas was completed by the teachings of Shri Krishna. From the advent of the Vedas to the descent of Shri Krishna, there was a great drama of religious education, a great era in the religious world. The Aryan children used to tell the gods everything about the house with a simple heart. They had nothing to hide. The gods used to teach those simple children by holding their hands and protecting them from all dangers. As the children started to grow up, the sages started talking about knowledge. From ‘who’ knows where, the stream of knowledge started flowing with the sound of hoo hoo with the diversity of judgment. But immediately, the organization of character, the sacrificial practice of duty did not happen as it should. Ramachandra himself descended and set a burning example in this regard. The complete performance of his religion, duty, the development of the knowledge of God and the strong rise of devotion all at once stirred the religious world.
The work of nurturing was stopped for some time. The gods, the sages, the avatars began to see how far their beloved Aryan race could go without help, without inspiration, without divine power, without divine excitement. The free stream of knowledge began to flow; different paths, different paths of knowledge began to walk. Everyone began to praise their own path with the gift. Everyone wanted to discover new ways. He who has not introduced a new path is not counted among the sages.
Biography of Sri Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu:
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486 – 1534) was a prominent Bengali religious and social reformer of the 16th century. He was born in Nadia, in present-day West Bengal. Gaudiya Vaishnavas consider him to be the full incarnation of Lord Krishna. Sri Krishna Chaitanya was a prominent exponent of the Vaishnava Bhakti Yoga doctrine, based on the philosophy mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana and the Bhagavad Gita. He especially preached the worship of God in the form of Radha and Krishna and popularized the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. He also composed the famous hymn called Shikshastaka in Sanskrit. According to Gaudiya Vaishnavas, the final verses of the Bhagavata Purana describe the incarnation of Lord Krishna as Chaitanya, imbued with the divine radiance of Radharani. The name of the former ashram of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was Gauranga or Nimai. He was called Gauranga or Gaura because of his golden complexion. On the other hand, he was named Nimai because he was born under a neem tree. In the 16th century, the biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ushered in a new era in the literary Bengali saintly life. During that era, several poets composed poems based on the biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Notable among these are: Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami’s Chaitanya Charitamrita, Vrindavan Das Thakur’s Chaitanya Bhagavata, and Lochan Das Thakur’s Chaitanya Mangal.
According to the description of the book Chaitanya Charitamrita, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born in Navadwipa, Nadia, during a lunar eclipse on the night of Dola Purnima on 18 February 1486 AD. His parents were Jagannath Mishra and Sachi Devi, natives of Nabadwip in Nadia district of West Bengal. Chaitanyadev’s ancestors were originally from Jajpur, Odisha. His grandfather Madhukar Mishra came from Odisha and settled in Bengal.
What was Chaitanyadev’s patronymic name?
The father’s name of Chaitanyadev was Vishwambhara Mishra. In his early youth, he was a renowned scholar. The fame of Nimai Pandit of Navadwipa in the field of logic was undisputed. His interest in chanting and chanting the name of Krishna was evident from various stories of his life from his childhood. But his main interest was reading Sanskrit texts and acquiring knowledge. After his father’s death, while offering a pinda in Gaya, Nimai met his guru Ishwarpuri. He was initiated into the Gopala mantra by Ishwarpuri. This incident had a profound impact on Nimai’s later life. After his return to Bengal, the local Vaishnava community led by Advaita Acharya was surprised to see his unexpected change of heart from a scholar to a devotee. Nimai soon became a leading leader of the Vaishnava community of Nadia.
When did Nimai adopt the name Shri Krishna Chaitanya?
After being initiated into the monastic life by Keshav Bharati, Nimai took the name Sri Krishna Chaitanya. After taking monastic life, he left his native Bengal and traveled to various pilgrimage sites in India for several years. During this time, he constantly chanted the name of Krishna. He spent the last twenty-four years of his life in Puri, the abode of Jagannath. Maharaja Prataparudra Dev, the Hindu emperor of the Surya dynasty of Odisha, considered Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to be a direct incarnation of Krishna. Maharaja Prataparudra became the patron of Chaitanya Dev and his sankirtana group. According to devotees, in the last phase of his life, Chaitanya Dev was overwhelmed with devotion and sang the name of Hari and spent most of his time in trance.
The author Purnendunarayan Singha has taken all possible care to ensure that this biography book can be of special help to the readers of Bengali literature. He sincerely hopes that this biography lesson will instill a love for Shri Krishna Chaitanya Katha in the hearts of Bengali readers.
