About this item
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta is the principal work on the life and teachings of Sri Krishna Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead appearing as His own devotee. He was the pioneer of a great social and religious movement beginning in India about 500 years ago that has directly and indirectly influenced the course of religious and philosophical thinking throughout the world.
While the west was exploring the physical world, in India Sri Krishna Caitanya was exploring inward, exhibiting unparalleled spiritual potency, and discovering the truths of consciousness and transcendental reality.
As a young boy Sri Caitanya overwhelmed and astounded scholars, establishing His own school at the age of sixteen. Within His lifetime He transformed India in four respects: philosophically, by defeating the greatest philosophers of His day; socially, by opposing the blindly rigid caste system; politically, by organizing India's first civil disobedience movement against repression by the Mohammedan government; and spiritually, by freely distributing nonsectarian love of God. Sri Caitanya-caritamrta presents Sri Caitanya as the Golden Avatar, the incarnation of Krishna in this age in the form of His devotee.
Lord Chaitanya introduced the chanting of the holy names of God as the prescribed method of God-realization for our time. He began what is today called the Hare Krishna movement, since the movement's founder, Srila Prabhupada, comes in the Chaitanya line of spiritual masters.
This English translation with commentary, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, reveals his consummate Bengali and Sanskrit scholarship, his intimate familiarity with the precepts of Sri Chaitanya, and his pure devotion to God.

Size is mentioned on the product description as 5.8" x 8.3" so in mm that is 147mm x 210mm. A little bigger becasue that is the sizes of the pages, so this is hard cover book set, so the covers are about 10 mm bigger then the pages. So you need to allow a bit more space.

Read more In my review of Srimad Bhagavatam (30 Volume Set), I had mentioned that I purchased it for the compact size and lesser weight that would help me carry a volume whenever I am travelling. Ditto for the Chaitanya Charitamrita. I have the 9 volume BBT edition, but I wanted this so I ordered it. As for the Bhagavatam the whole order, payment, delivery process was smooth with out any hitches. The quality of the books are very good, the print is also very good. The icing on the cake (vegetarian) for me was receiving the boxed set from the courier company on Gaura Purnima Day. I felt humbled and blessed to receive it on that day, taking it as the mercy of Lord Chaitanya and promptly read Chapter 13 of the Adi Lila as recommended in `A Beginners Guide to Krishna Consciousness`.Read less
