Sri Chaitanya's Philosophy of Devotion

March 12, 2025 • Nishanth Selvalingam • Season 8 • Episode 135

Last year on the auspicious occasion of Gauranga Purnima, the full moon celebrating the birthday of Sri Chaitanya (Gauranga), the most ecstatic lover of God who perhaps ever lived next to Sri Ramakrishna, we gave a series of three talks on the life, philosophy and practice of this great devotee.

This is the first of three exploring the philosophical foundation for the Vaishnava Bhakti school known as acintya bhedābheda, Unthinkable Diversity-in-Non-Diversity!

The second lecture in the series was about the life of Sri Chaitanya here and the third is about Bhakti in practice!

I'm about to let loose a slew of Tantrik Vaishnava content to celebrate this very auspicious full moon commemorating this ecstatic lover of God in whom was both Krishna and Rādhā! I'll put them all in this playlist called Tantrik Vaishnavism: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1384235

Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.
