He was the founder of the Chaitanya sect, a branch of Hindu Vaishnavism. He was from the Bengal region of eastern India. He criticized the ritualism of the priestly class, emphasized the spirit of love, and started a fanatical religious movement to worship Lord Krishna and his lover Radha. He created the sankirtana procession, in which people sing hymns and march while singing and dancing, and it is said that he himself was so enthusiastic that he often fainted in the middle of a procession. Although he left no written works, his teachings are said to have been close to Nimbarka's Vedanta theory.

ヒンドゥー教ビシュヌ派の一派チャイタニヤ派の開祖。東インドのベンガル地方の出身である。司祭者階級の儀礼主義を批判して、愛の精神を強調し、クリシュナ神とその愛人ラーダーを崇拝する熱狂的な宗教運動をおこした。賛歌を合唱して、歌い踊りながら行進する詠歌行進(サンキールタナ)を創始し、彼自身、熱狂のあまり、行進の途中でしばしば失神したと伝えられている。著作は残さなかったが、彼の教学は、ニンバールカのベーダーンタ説に近かったとされている。 [島 岩 2018年5月21日] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
