"Chaitanya's Life And Teachings" by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmi is a biography composed between 1582 and the early 17th century. The work chronicles the life and teachings of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, blending devotional poetry with philosophical conversations about Bhakti yoga. Divided into three sections covering his early, middle, and final years, it details his theological identity, pilgrimages, interactions with devotees and critics, and his growing spiritual anguish over separation from Krishna.
