Chaitanya: A Life and Legacy Book Information:

former, an avatar of Lord krishnachaitanya Mahaprabhu (14861533) is perceived as all these and many others. In this book on Chaitanya, amiya br. Sen focuses on the discourses surrounding the mystical life, which ended rather mysteriously at the age of 48. Written in a lucid manner and for a wider audience, this book is a fresh attempt to historically reconstruct Chaitanyas life and times in Bengal and Odisha, as well as Vrindavan, the key centre of medieval Vaishnavism in North India. This work critically evaluates how Chaitanya has been understood contemporaneously and posthumously, particularly as an icon in colonial Bengal. Addressing an important gap in scholarship, which hitherto concentrated on religious and philosophical discourses, Sen offers a full-length biographical account of Nimai or Gaur by drawing on a wide range of sources in English and Bengali. He also argues against the belief that Chaitanya is the sole proponent of Vaishnava bhakti in Bengal, choosing to situate him in the wider devotional cultures of the region.
