Caitanya (1485–1533) was a Bengalese religious writer and, because he was considered a reincarnation of Lord Krishna, he was also the founder of a sect which praises Krishna and his wife Radha. He is best known for writing a series of famous samkirtanas, a type of hymn sung in choral settings. In his specific worship of Kirshna, Caitanya established ten maxims (dasa mula) about the god — including the fact that Krishna is Supreme Absolute Truth endowed with all energies and the ultimate goal of existence.
