The
Golden Avatara
Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu was born in Mayapur just after
sunset on the evening of the 23rd Phalguna
1407 Sakabda, or, the 18th of February, 1486,
of the Christian era. The moon was eclipsed
at the time of His birth, and the people were
then engaged, as was usual on such occasions,
in bathing in the Bhagirathi with loud cheers
of Haribol. His father, Jagannatha Mishra,
a poor brahmana of the Vedic order, and his
mother, Sachi-devi, a model good woman, both
descended from brahmana stock originally residing
in Sylhet.
