Very Important Event in Caitanya Caritamrta

July 12: Prakashananda Saraswati had 60000 disciples and was from the Sankharacharya philosophy => You are God, I am God... which was a serious harm to Bhakti.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu had come to remove the bad qualities of conditioned souls. By softly speaking to Prakashananda Saraswati, He changed his heart. Mahaprabhu took a humble and menial position during his meeting with Prakashananda Saraswati, which was noticed by him. Prakashananda Saraswati did a service to Caitanya Mahaprabhu by extending his hand and calling him inside. That made him eligible for Mahaprabhu's mercy.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu humbly answered his questions. In Kaliyuga, everyone has to chant. Caitanya Mahaprabhu systematically presented the dissection of Sankara's philosophy and established the supremacy of Bhakti. This He converted Prakashananda Saraswati and all his 60000 disciples to Bhakti.

Over movement: Sadhana and preaching Krishna Bhakti. Sadhana and Vaishnava principles leads us to preaching and that in turn leads us to Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy.
