Why is it important?
The search for Sri Chaitanya's birthplace is vital for understanding Bengali Vaishnavism's roots. Under Sultanate rule, Hinduism faced challenges, and Chaitanya's Bhakti Movement emerged as spiritual resilience. Identifying his birthplace, Nabadwip or Mayapur, reveals the cultural and religious environment shaping his teachings. This birthplace symbolizes spiritual heritage and cultural renaissance. An interdisciplinary study is essential for a comprehensive understanding of Chaitanya’s legacy.
