A wonderful summary of the life Caitanya Mahaprabhu
I recently had completed my reading of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta and I feel that this short book very nicely incapsulates its contents along with bringing in historical details from other sources such as Śrī Caitanya-Bhagavat. Definitely a worthy read.
