The Divine Appearance of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
✨ A Golden Full Moon of Divine Mercy
Gaura Purnima is the most merciful and joyful festival in the Vaishnava tradition. On this sacred full-moon day, the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna appears as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, embracing the mood and devotion of Srimati Radharani to freely distribute Krishna-prema to all.
At ISKCON Jodhpur, this divine occasion is celebrated with heartfelt devotion, melodious kirtans, spiritual wisdom, and loving association of devotees.
🌼 Who Is Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu?
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, lovingly known as Gauranga due to His golden complexion, appeared in Navadvipa, West Bengal, to teach the simplest and most powerful spiritual process for this age:
Chanting the Holy Names of the Lord
He taught by His own example — humility, compassion, joy in devotion, and unconditional love for Krishna and all living beings.
🎶 The Yuga-Dharma: Harinama Sankirtana
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu inaugurated the congregational chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, which cleanses the heart and awakens our eternal spiritual identity.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
This chanting is the essence of Gaura Purnima and the soul of the celebration.
