lord chaitanya is the most magnanimous

When we chant the holy names of the Lord, we are crying out for Krishna to save us. And how does Krishna save us? Because He is non-different from His name; because He is all pure, when we chant attentively within our heart, the name cleanses all of our illusions and all of our attachments. The holy name awakens the pure state of our original consciousness, and we are liberated form the web of material existence.

So Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, He came to give this name of Krishna without discrimination to everyone and to anyone. In fact, in the Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita it is described by Sri Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami, the author, that Lord Chaitanya is the topmost of all incarnations of God, that He is Krsna Himself from His original form.

But Lord Chaitanya is acting in a superior way, in the sense that He was magnanimous. This magnanimity is the special feature that makes Lord Chaitanya the most merciful of all incarnations. Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami explains the meaning of Lord Chaitanya’s magnanimous nature: He is giving pure unalloyed selfless love of God, the ultimate happiness of the soul, to anyone and everyone without discrimination. He does not consider who is qualified and who is unqualified, the only qualification to receive the mercy of the Lord is simply the eagerness to accept it; that’s all. Whether you are sinful, whether you were born in kind of adverse conditions, it doesn’t even matter, what you have done or what you haven’t done.

Are we eagerly willing to accept the mercy when it comes? And what is that mercy?

To associate with the Lord and His devotees and to chant His holy names.
