The teachings of Sri Gauranga in a nutshell

 

4. 41

 

aradhyo bhagavan brajesa-tanayas-tad-dhama vrndavanam

ramya kacid-upasana vraja-vadhu-vargena ya kalpita

srimad-bhagavatam pramanam-amalam prema pumartho mahan

sri caitanya mahaprabhor-matam-idam tatradaro nam param

 

It is the conclusive opinion of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu that:

 

Sri Krsna, who is Vrajendra-nandana, the son of the king of Vraja, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, the topmost worshipable Deity;

 

Vrndavan-dhama which is an expansion of Sri Krsna and is nondifferent from Him is the highest worshipable abode;

 

The gopis of Vrndavana are the highest example of the worship of Sri Krsna.

 

Srimad-Bhagavatam is the spotless evidence for knowing the absolute truth;

 

Krsna-prema is the fifth and highest goal of life.

 

These are the teachings of Sri Caitanya in a nutshell.
