If you think that Vaishnavas are born and die  than you are not to be delivered for millions of kalpas  I am sorry but this is fact Anyone who does not float in this inundation is most condemned Such a person cannot be delivered for millions of kalpas PURPORT The kalpa is explained in the Bhagavadgt  sahasrayugaparyantam ahar yad brahmao vidu One day of Brahm is called a kalpa A yuga or mahyuga consists of  years and one thousand such mahyugas constitute one kalpa The author of r Caitanyacaritmta says that if one does not take advantage of the Ka consciousness movement of r Caitanya Mahprabhu he cannot be delivered for millions of such kalpas  However you are lucky Q    Can Shri Chaitanyabhagavata be distributed to the common people before they have read the Gita and Bhagavatam     A    Yes Shri Chaitanyabhagavata can be distributed along with the Gita even before Bhagavatam according to Shrila Prabhupadas purport on Cc Adi  In the first part of the purport he explains that ShrimadBhagavatam is difficult to understand for the common man due to four reasons       It is very elaborate due to it being the commentary on the the highly condensed Vedantasutra and it is in Sanskrit which is a very difficult language to understand for the common man thus few men can understand its purport     Professional reciters have created the impression that ShrimadBhagavatam deals only with Krishnas rasalila and thus presented Krishna as a great womanhunter    Professional reciters have introduced bhagavatasaptaha or sevenday readings of the Bhagavatam     Then Prabhupada explains that under these circumstances it is a great aid for the common man to read Shrila Vrindavana dasa Thakuras Chaitanyabhagavata for thus he can actually understand devotional service Krishna Lord Chaitanya and Nityananda Due to misunderstanding ShrimadBhagavatam people are misled regarding the science of Krishna However by reading Shrila Vrindavana dasa Thakuras book one can very easily understand this science              So it is pretty clear that Shri Chaitanyabhagavata is a great book to introduce to the common people who normally may not have the required intelligence  patience to understand the most elaborate ShrimadBhagavatam            Also Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has said said that Chaitanya Bhagavata is more important than Chaitanyacharitamrita for the common man because it is a lilagrantha Without describing so much about philosophy it describes the lila of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and is therefore easy for the common man to follow and understand the philosophy Even though Sarasvati Thakura himself mostly explained philosophy he said that philosophy is only for the greatly learned people and for the common men Chaitanya Bhagavata is more important So he said Read Chaitanya Bhagavata from time to time If anyone came to him he would ask them if they had read Chaitanya Bhagavata He often asked people this including nondevotees He recommended that for ordinary people the first Vaishnava literature they read be Chaitanya Bhagavata     QThen why did not Shrila Prabhupada explicitly tell us to read this book and distribute it in mass quantities     A    One immediate answer is because Shrila Prabhupada had not translated the book Shrila Prabhupada did give great importance to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhus pastimes that is proved by the fact that he left the translation of the Bhagavatam in middle to complete Shri Chaitanyacharitamrita So actually he didnt have time to translate Shri Chaitanyabhagavata Although Prabhupada has said that his books are enough he did say that reading Shri Chaitanyabhagavata will be a great aid for the common man that one should read this book if he has to preach the gospel of Lord Chaitanya that readers will profit much by going through Shri Chaitanyabhagavata SB Intro So I would say that it is not against the teachings of Prabhupada to introduce this book with the original Bengali verses  translation to the common people     Q   But the translation is not done by Prabhupada So how will we know whether it is bonafide     A    Shri Chaitanyabhagavata is full of very simple but very sweet Bengali verses which are very easy to translate into any language if the devotee translator is  little intelligent and has a little knowledge of Bengali which is very easy to get There are very few Sanskrit verses in the whole book and some of them are from the Bhagavatam For example translation into Indian languages like Hindi Marathi Gujarati Telugu etc is very eas
