The incarnations of the Lord, Krishna or Visnu, are as numerous as the waves of the ocean, a way to say that they are infinite. They keep coming and coming, performing so many different acts in order to please His devotees, destroy demons and establish the principles of spiritual life.
For us, members of the Vaisnava Gaudiya tradition, there is no doubt that Sri Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are the most important among all divine incarnations.
Sri Krishna appeared more than 5,100 years ago[1], Mahaprabhu more than 520 years ago[2]. We have a vast literature telling us of these two divine descents and Their activities with Their friends.
