he President said Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was one of the greatest saints of the Bhakti movement. He was responsible for the popularity of Vaishnavism in Bengal through his Kirtans, which were unparalleled in lyricism and beauty.

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu preached and spread loving devotional service and congregational chanting through personal demonstration.  He propagated the cult of devotion by personally practicing it.

The President said living with diversity and finding unity in diversity has been practised in India over centuries. Many people wonder how it is possible for India to accommodate so much diversity within one system of administration, one Constitution and one legal jurisprudence.

The President said the answer lies in our civilisational values. India's unity has been possible because of our cultural and civilisational values. We have inherited these over centuries and have nurtured it. It is now a part of our life.

We must retransform ourself with the message of love. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings continue to have great relevance in the contemporary world.
