Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita :

It is the current-yuga dharma describing the activities of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Swayambhu incarnation of God as a devotee, who incarnated as per schedule to establish congregational chanting of Krishna's names and the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra as the primary mode of worship in kaliyuga. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu loved Krishna from the point of view of God's/Krishna's foremost and topmost devotee - Radha, in the taste (rasa) of separation and paramour mood.

He came to experience the love She feels for Him, and to show by example how to fully surrender to Krishna (application of all verses in direct words of Krishna as found in Bhagavad Gita, Uttara Gita, Uddhav Gita and Anu Gita in sentiments of Love). He exhibited symptoms of love of God to the highest degree, and emphasized chanting the holy names of Krishna as the best means to attain love of God.

It is stated in Vishnu Purana :

"The supreme goal which was attained in Satya-yuga by years of prolonged meditation; in Treta-yuga by performing extensive yajnas; in Dvapara-yuga by opulent and scrupulous Deity worship; in Kali-yuga the same results are easily had simply by the chanting of the holy names of Kesava (Krsna)."

Lord Krishna in His form of Lord Chaitanya most generously distributeS love of God to the fallen people of the age of Kali. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu bestows what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love through His own personal demonstration which is documented as a scientific-art in Sri Ujjvala-Nilamani (part 2 of Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu) by Srila Rupa Gosvami of Vrindavan who is counted as His the foremost intimate disciple along with the Panchtattwas of Nabadwip and three and a half intimate associates (not disciples) of Gambhira, Puri.

The Chaitanya Caritamrta is divided into three sections: the Adi-lila, Madhya-lila and Antya-lila. Each section refers to a particular phase in Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's life.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acharya of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), had trifurcated the BhaktiVedanta into 3 categories if executed and applied in daily practical life - Bhagavad Gita as preliminary studies, Srimad Bhagavatam as intermediate studies and Chaitanya Charitramitra/Ujjvala-Nilamani as advanced studies for kaliyuga.

The direct words of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are found in Sikshashtakam and His lifestyle of Sanyasa as in Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita.
