#86 – Know Lord Chaitanya, Know God | Heart of Jesus – Ep. 16
Lord Chaitanya appeared 500 years ago in present India, and just like Jesus came to spread love for God. Today we discuss his life and teachings; an example of how we can all achieve spiritual perfection and happiness.
You’ll hear us discuss the difficulties we face in the modern times of wide spread materialism and irreligion. For these times, Chaitanya made it clear that chanting God’s names, known as mantras in the yoga tradition, is the highest worship.
We humbly ask all of our listeners to understand that the teachings of Chaitanya are applicable beyond any particular belief system. As we point out, religion simply means doing the will of the Supreme Lord.
Because ultimately, it is the desire of Lord Chaitanya, and ourselves, that you come closer to the heart of Jesus. By knowing, loving, and serving God.
With this episode, we conclude our 16-part series on ‘The Heart of Jesus’. We hope you have learnt something of value, and ask you to please write us with any questions or requests for further discussion/explanation.
