Introduction Visuddha caitanya-vani is the fully blossomed form of amnaya-vani or transcendental teachings received through the supremely pure guru-parampara via the medium of kirtana. Through the process of Sravana (hearing), it eventually seats itself in the heart of the sat-sigya (worthy disciple). The antaranga-parikaras (intimate associates) of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu-devotees like Srila SvarUpa Damodara Gosvami, Sri Raya Ramananda, Srila RUpa Gosvami, Sfila Sanatana Gosvami, Shia Raghunatha clasa Gosvami, Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, Srila Vigvanatha Cakravarti Thakura and, in the modern era, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sfila Prabhupacla Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, Sri Srimad Bhakti Dayita Madhava Gosvami Maharaja and other disciples of Srila Prabhupada-are the protectors of this viguddha caitanya-vani. Just as Sriman Mahaprabhu remains eternally surrounded by these antaranga-parikaras, His Orli is intrinsically linked with their vani. Therefore, the term viguddha caitanya-vani is defined as the embodiment of the teachings and conduct of not only Sriman Mahaprabhu, but of all His associates, as well.
