Translation

 

"Towards the end of the period between four-thousand to five thousand years in

Kali-yuga, I will descend on the earth as Gauranga, a golden-complexioned saintly

brahmana in a place by the Ganges' shore and later become the crest-jewel of all

sannyasis, exhibiting all My transcendental qualities including supreme renunciation

and complete detachment from material desires. In the form of Lord Gauranga, I will

display all the thirty-two bodily symptoms of a great personality with my arms

extending to my knees. I will become my own devotee, very advanced in bhakti-yoga

and teach the worship of Lord Krsna (Myself) by the chanting of My own holy names

and relishing the mellows of My own devotional service. At that time only My most

confidential devotees will be able to understand Me."

Translation

 

In the Kali-yuga, Supreme Lord will appear in a brahmana's family. He will

dharmam maha-purusa pasi yuganuvrttam

Translation

 

In this way, my Lord, You appear in various incarnations as a human being, an

animal, a great saint, a demigod, a fish or a tortoise, thus maintaining the entire

creation in different planetary systems and killing the demoniac principles. According

to the age, O my Lord, You protect the principles of religion. In the age of Kali,

however, You do not assert Yourself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and

therefore You are known as Triyuga, or the Lord who appears in three yugas.,

 

{Prahlada Maharaja speaks to Lord Nrsimhadeva}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<h4>Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.8.13</h4>

This boy [Krsna] has three other colors - white, red and yellow - as He appears in

different ages. Now He has appeared in a transcendental blackish color.

 

{Gargamuni speaks to Nanda Maharaja}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<h4>Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.5.32</h4>

 

 

 

krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam

 

sangopangastra-parsadam

 

yajnaih sankirtana-prayair

 

yajanti hi su-medhasah

 

 

 

Translation

 

In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to

worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krsna.

Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krsna Himself. He is accompanied by

His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

 

{Karabhajana Muni speaks to King Nimi}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<h4>Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.5.33</h4>

Translation

 

My dear Lord, You are the Maha-purusa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

and I worship Your lotus feet, which are the only eternal object of meditation. Those

feet destroy the embarrassing conditions of material life and freely award the greatest

desire of the soul, the attainment of pure love of Godhead. My dear Lord, Your lotus

feet are the shelter of all holy places and of all saintly authorities in the line of

devotional service and are honored by powerful demigods like Lord Siva and Lord

Brahma. My Lord, You are so kind that You willingly protect all those who simply

bow down to You with respect, and thus You mercifully relieve all the distress of

Your servants. In conclusion, my Lord, Your lotus feet are actually the suitable boat

for crossing over the ocean of birth and death, and therefore even Lord Brahma and

Lord Siva seek shelter at Your lotus feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<h4>Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.5.34</h4>

maya-mrgam dayitayepsitam anvadhavad

 

vande maha-purusa te caranaravindam

 

 

 

Translation

 

O Mahapurusa, I worship Your lotus feet. You gave up the association of the

goddess of fortune and all her opulence, which is most difficult to renounce and is

hankered after by even the great demigods. Being the most faithful follower of the

path of religion, You thus left for the forest in obedience to a brahmana's curse. Out of

sheer mercifulness You chased after the fallen conditioned souls, who are always in

pursuit of the false enjoyment of illusion, and at the same time engaged in searching

out Your own desired object, Lord Syamasundara.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who enjoyed pastimes with the gopis,

Who day and night filled the people of Vrndavana with happiness, Who killed Kamsa,

and Who in the war between the Kauravas made friendship with the Pandavas, will

silences the impersonalist nondevotees.

Translation

 

To show mercy to the people and give them devotional service, the Supreme

Personality of Godhead will appear in a brahmana's home in Navadvipa by the

Ganges' shore. The Supreme Person, Sri Krsna Himself, who is the life of Srimati

Radharani, and is the Lord of the universe in creation, maintenance, and annihilation,

appears as Gaura, O Mahesvari.

 

 

 

In Kali-yuga, I will descend to the earth with My associates. In Navadvipa,

which is surrounded by the Ganges, I will take birth in Sacidevi's womb.

 

 

 

They who are bewildered by My illusory potency will not understand the great

secret of the appearance in this world of Me in My personal form, in My form as the

incarnation of devotion, in My form as the incarnation of a devotee, in My form

bearing the name of a devotee, in My form as a devotee, and in My form as the giver

of devotional service.

 

 

 

This secret is not to be revealed to them. Only the saintly, pure, renounced

devotees, diligently engaged in My devotional service, will be able to understand Me

in these five forms.

 

 

 

My dear male and female associates, headed by Sridama and Subala, who came

to this world at the time of My advent as Lord Krsna, will come again during the Kali-

yuga.

 

 

 

The gopas will become the sixty-four mahantas and the twelve gopalas. To

establish the truth of religion, I will enjoy many pastimes with them.

 

 

 

In this way I will again reveal the path of devotional service, which has been

destroyed in the course of time. My sons should also descend to the earth, assume the

forms of devotees, and, by My order, also work to re-establish the principles of true

religion.

 

 

 

At this time My names will be: Krsna Caitanya, Gauranga, Gauracandra,

Sacisuta, Mahaprabhu, Gaura and Gaurahari. Chanting these names will bring

devotion to Me.

The golden Goddess Radha is known by the name Gauri and the dark Lord Krsna

Then Sri Radha said to Lord Krsna: 'O beloved, please hear My words. I yearn to

bodies become one, a form filled with the love I bear for You, a form filled with

auspicious and blissful pastimes, a form that brings bliss to the heart, a form that

unites Our two natures.'

 

 

 

Hearing His beloved's words, which were filled with joy and love, Lord Krsna

passionately embraced Her. Then by the touch of His inconceivable potency Their

two forms joined and became one, a single form endowed with Sri Radha's divine

love and glorious splendor. In a dream Lord Krsna showed all this to Sri Radha.

**Other direct references are found in the Visvasara tantra, Kularnava tantra,

Brahma-rahasya, and Visnu-yamala. Besides these there are complete chapters about

Sri Caitanya's incarnation in the Vayu Purana and Bhavisya Purana, which are too

long to quote here. Also there is a text by the name Caitanya Upanisad within the

Atharva Veda, which explains the Lord's incarnation in Kali-yuga. I have not cited it

here, as it was rediscovered in recent times, so some people will reject its authenticity,

or at least its value as evidence.

 

 

 

Sri Caitanya's incarnation was a hidden incarnation, thus He buried references to

His appearance deep within the ocean of Vedic texts. His desire was that His disguise

would not be betrayed, so He made sure these references would remain hidden until

after His incarnation was complete. These texts were always present, but by the

inconceivable yoga-maya of the Lord, He covered His true identity even from the

Vedic scholars and panditas. Only the pure devotees understood His actual identity.
