Literally meaning “the character of the living force in immortality”, Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta is a prodigious
transcendental literature comprising over 11,000 verses.
His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura’s prediction that the time would come when people
from across the world would learn the Bengali language to read Caitanya-caritāmṛta.
Today, Sunday, November 10, 1974 - corresponding to the 10th of Kartika, Chaitanya Era 488, the
eleventh day of the dark fortnight, the Rama-ekadashi - we have now finished the English translation of
Sri Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami's Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita in accordance with the authorized order of
His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Gosvami Maharaja, my beloved eternal spiritual
master, guide and friend.
The work on this translation began about eighteen months ago. Now, by the grace of Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu and His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, it is finished. In this connection I
have to thank my American disciples, especially Sriman Pradyumna dasa Adhikari, Sriman Nitai dasa
Adhikari, Sriman Jayadvaita dasa Brahmacari and many other boys and girls who are sincerely helping me
in writing, editing and publishing all these literatures.
