Many devotees have been asking for the original Caitanya-caritamrta set since it went out of print in the 1990’s.The BBT have replaced it with a new “revised” edition which includes thousands of changes. Most devotees, however, feel more comfortable reading the original books Srila Prabhupada personally published and read himself daily and gave all his classes from.
Srila Prabhupada teaches us that Bhagavad-gita is the introductory text on the science of Krishna consciousness, Srimad-Bhagavatam is the advanced course and Sri Caitanya-caitamrta is the post-graduate study of spiritual life:
So study this Caitanya-caritamrta. Now we have got this English edition, very elaborately described, following the footsteps of our Guru Maharaja, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada. So there is no such edition of Caitanya-caritamrta,very elaborately described. But it can be understood by the advanced student. It can be… And so…
Advanced, you can, anyone, you can become advanced. Advanced means at least one should understand that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If you simply understand these two words, that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then you are advanced. It is not very difficult. Everything, all Vedic literature, they are meant for understanding Krsna. Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyam [Bg.15.15]. So if you simply understand… What is that understanding? That Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead… if you accept These few words, then you are advanced student, immediately. Take it from me,that simply this conviction, that “Krsna is the Supreme Personality ofGodhead,” then you are advanced student in spiritual life. (from Srila Prabhupada’s class on Cc. Adi 1.1, Mayapur March 25,1975)
