Appearance Day of Śrī Advaita Ācārya

“Lord Advaita Ācārya is the incarnation of Mahā-Viṣṇu, whose main function is to create the cosmic world through the actions of māyā.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 1.12, Translation | 1974 Edition)
“Advaita Ācārya is the Lord’s partial incarnation, and therefore I offer my obeisances millions of times at His lotus feet”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 1.39, Translation | 1974 Edition)
“Advaita Ācārya Gosvāmī is an incarnation of the Lord as a devotee. His loud calling was the cause for Kṛṣṇa’s incarnation.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 3.92, Translation | 1974 Edition)
“Mahā-Viṣṇu performs all the functions for the creation of the universes. Śrī Advaita Ācārya is His direct incarnation.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 6.7, Translation | 1974 Edition)
“Śrī Advaita Ācārya is Lord Caitanya’s incarnation as a devotee. Therefore these three tattvas (Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Nityānanda Prabhu and Advaita Gosāñi) are the predominators, or masters.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 7.13, Translation | 1973 Edition)
“Śrīla Advaita Ācārya Prabhu appeared as an incarnation of a devotee. He is in the category of Kṛṣṇa, but He descended to this earth to propagate devotional service.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 17.298, Translation | 1974 Edition)
“All glories to Advaita Prabhu, the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He induced Kṛṣṇa to descend and thus delivered the entire world.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya-līlā 8.4, Translation | 1975 Edition)
“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Advaita Prabhu and Nityānanda Prabhu all belong to the viṣṇu-tattva category. Because Lord Caitanya is an ocean of mercy, He is addressed as mahāprabhu, whereas Nityānanda and Advaita, being two great personalities who assist Lord Caitanya, are addressed as prabhu. Thus there are two prabhus and one mahāprabhu. Gadādhara Gosvāmī is a representative of a perfect brāhmaṇa spiritual master. Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura represents a perfect brāhmaṇa devotee. These five are known as the Pañca-tattva.”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 17.301, Purport | 1974 Edition)
