In this illuminating class, Rasikananda Swami (affectionately known as Rasik Maharaja) explores the divine identity of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, revealing how Lord Chaitanya is not merely a great saint or devotee, but the Lord Himself appearing in Kali-yuga as Naam Avatar and Prem Avatar—the embodiment of the holy name and divine love. Drawing from sacred biographies and beloved pastimes from Mahaprabhu’s childhood and youth, Rasik Maharaja reflects on the dawning of Lord Chaitanya’s golden age, or Prem Yuga, in which the chanting of Krishna’s names is opened to everyone without restriction, carrying the power to awaken love of God in all beings. This class invites listeners to deepen their appreciation for Mahaprabhu’s mercy, his hidden divinity, and the universal gift of sankirtan as the heart of spiritual life in this age.This class was recorded at the Bhakta Bandhav NYC center on March 21, 2026.
