His Appearance
Sri
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared at Sridhama Mayapura, in the city of
Navadvipa in Bengal, on the Phalguni Purnima evening in the year 1486
AD. His father, Sri Jagannatha Mishra, a learned brahmana from the
district of Sylhet, came to Navadvipa as a student. He lived on the
banks of the Ganges with his wife Srimati Sacidevi, a daughter of Srila
Nilambara Cakravarti, a great learned scholar of Navadvipa. Their
youngest son, who was named Vishvambhara, later became known as Nimai
Pandita and then, after accepting the renounced order of life, Lord Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
