Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (Gaur) is an incarnation of both Lord Krishna and His Consort Sreemati Radha in one body. He appeared in Mayapur, Nabadvip, in West Bengal in 1486 A.D. Before embracing sannyas He was known as " Nimai". He was also called as "Visvambar" at that time. After embracing sannyas in 1510 A.D., He became Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He is also known as Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu or Sri  Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Mahaprabhu (Nitai) along with their companions introduced an informal, unritualistic and emotional mode of worship of Hari ( God ) by Sankirtana or congregational chanting. He showed a new direction for the "Bhakti Movement" and did not believe in discrimination on the basis of birth, caste and class.

in the district of Jessore ( Presently in Bangladesh) in 1853 A.D. He carried the message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu from place to place.
