Swami Prakashanand Saraswati - A shining light of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's movement

Swami Prakashanand Saraswati and Lord Chaitanya

Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, a 16th Century Hindu Saint was a shining light of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's movement. After he became a part of Lord Chaitanya's mission, Lord Chaitanya gave Swami Prakashanand Saraswati a new name: Prabhodhanand Saraswati. In one famous debate between him and Lord Chaitanya, he surrendered all that he had previously learned in the name of spiritual truths and accepted the divine teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He left his throne, left his disciples and spent the rest of his life in Vrindavan, fully devoted to Radha Krishna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
