  • Summary

  • In Bengal the Vaishnava Bhakti tradition achieved popularity due to the efforts of Sri Chaitanya. Chaitanya was born in the town of Navadvipa in West Bengal, India. His father, Jagannath Mishra , was a Brahmin, belonging to the highest caste, or social class, in India. His mother was Sachi Devi. The couple had had eight daughters, all of whom died soon after they were born. The couple's ninth child, a son named Viswarup, survived. Chaitanya was their tenth child. Chaitanya's name at birth was Viswambar Mishra, but in his youth he acquired two nicknames. One was Nimai, taken from the name of the Neem tree under which he was supposed to have been born. The other was Gaura, meaning "the fair," or "the golden one," referring to his fair skin.
