Lord Kiona appears in the present age in the form of Lord Caitanya, who eaches love of God • through the process of congregational chanting of His holy name. On Lord Caitanya's right stands His primary expansion, Lord Nityānanda, and on Lord Nityānanda's right stands Śrī Advaita Ācārya, Lord Caitanya's incarnation. On Lord Caitanya's left stands His manifest internal energy, Śrī Gadādhara, and beside Śrī Gadādhara stands the Lord's perfect devotee, Śrī Śrīvāsa. All together they are known as the Pañca-tattva, the Absolute Truth revealed in five features.
In the age of Kālī, intelligent persons worship Lord Caitanya by performing congregational chanting of the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions.
Lord Caitanya is Lord Kṛṣṇa. His body is always decorated with ornaments and sandalwood paste. By His superexcellent beauty He subdues all the people of the age. In other descents the Lord sometimes uses weapons to defeat the demoniac, but in this age the Lord subdues them with His all-attractive feature as Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Srila Jiva Gosvāmī explains that Lord Caitanya's beauty is His weapon to subdue the demons. Because He is all-attractive, it is to be understood that all the demigods lived with Him as His companions. His acts were uncommon and His associates wonderful. When He propagated the saṅkīrtana movement, He attracted many great scholars and gurus, especially in Bengal and Orissa. Lord Caitanya is always accompanied by His foremost associates—Lord Nityānanda, Śrī Advaita Ācārya, Śrī Gadādhara Prabhu, and Śrī Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura.
Lord Caitanya taught Kṛṣṇa consciousness and chanted the name of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, to worship Lord Caitanya everyone should together chant the mahā-mantra: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Thus worshiping Lord Caitanya, they can perform the highest activity and fulfil the highest religious purpose of satisfying the Supreme Lord.
The principle of transcendental devotional service having been lost, Śrī Caitanya has appeared in order to deliver again the process of devotion. He is so kind that He is distributing love of Kṛṣṇa. Everyone should be attracted more and more to His lotus feet, as humming bees are attracted to a lotus flower.
