Teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
A person should eliminate his ego and be detested as lowly grass. In other words, aside from conceit, you should also maintain humility, leaving your office reputation and arrogance behind. One should be as humble as the branches of a tree, giving up the desire to be admired.
Humans implore God for these blessings so that his ego of wealth and various forms of happiness are removed. In addition to this, it should be noted that humans should not be arrogant about their attractiveness.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has explained the meaning of the name Hari. Mahaprabhu asserts that the mind’s mirror is cleansed by the Sri Krishna Kirtan. This sankirtan, which eliminates worldly attachment and delusion, will give a man pleasure.
In addition, Harinam Sankirtan liberates from sin, birth, and mortality. – Chaitanya Mahaprabhu preached that devotees should remember Sri Krishna’s names as Govind, Madhava, Damodar, Ghanshyam, and Mukunda. There is no limit on time or space for remembering God’s names. In such a circumstance, one must constantly recall the names of the Lord.
