"The most revered Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, through his divine power and unique devotion, has combined religion and spirituality with man. Not only did he preach devotion, but he also taught us to stay away from the attitude of caste and creed. On his birth anniversary, I would like to pay my respects to him," the Home Minister tweeted in Bangla.

परम पूज्य चैतन्य महाप्रभु ने अपनी अद्भुत व अनोखी भक्ति शैली से जन-जन को धर्म और अध्यात्म से जोड़ा। उन्होंने न सिर्फ सभी दिशाओं में भक्ति का प्रचार किया बल्कि सभी को जात-पात, ऊंच-नीच की भावना से दूर रहने की शिक्षा भी दी। चैतन्य महाप्रभु जी की जयंती पर उनके चरणों में कोटिशः नमन। pic.twitter.com/yBbeVxq1zo — Amit Shah (@AmitShah) February 18, 2021
