Čajtanja Mahaprabhu
Šri Krišna Čajtanja Mahaprabhu (IAST: Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu), počasno: „Mahaprabhu” („Veliki gospodar”), (18. februar 1486 – 14. jun 1533), bio je indijski guru kojeg njegovi sledbenici smatraju Vrhovnom Božjom ličnošću i glavnim proponentom Ačintja Bheda Abheda (Nezamisliva razlika/jednost) Vedantske škole i tradicije gaudijskog višnuizma unutar hinduizma. On se takođe zalagao za višnavsku školu Bhakti joge (što znači predana pobožnost), zasnovanu na Bhagavata Purani i Bhagavadgiti.[2] Od različitih oblika direktne ili indirektne ekspanzija Krišne, poput gospoda Narasimhe (čovek-lav; Krišna u raspoloženju besa), Mahavišnua i Garbhodaksaj Višnua, on veruje se da je Krišna u raspoloženju Rade.[3][4] On je popularizovao pevanje „Hare Krišna mantre”[5] i komponovao je Šikšaštakam (osam pobožnih molitvi) na sanskirtu. Njegovi sledbenici, gaudijski višnavisti poštuju ga kao Krišnu sa raspoloženjem i složenošću svog izvora nadahnuća Rade.[6] Njegov rođendan se slavi kao Gaura Purnima.[7][8]
