Hare Kṛṣṇa, Dandavats Dear Readers

Here are the main verses in gauḍīya literature confirming caitanya mahāprabhu's advent and his status as supreme personality of godhead (pls feel free to add more if you like)

ŚB 11.5.32

कृष्णवर्णं त्विषाकृष्णं साङ्गोपाङ्गास्त्रपार्षदम् ।
यज्ञै: सङ्कीर्तनप्रायैर्यजन्ति हि सुमेधस: ॥ ३२ ॥

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.

Allegation: Śrīdhara Svāmī has broken down tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ into the euphonic tviṣā kṛṣṇaṁ, identifying Lord Kṛṣṇa as the yugāvatāra for both Dvāpara and Kali

अहमेव द्विजश्रेष्ठ नित्यं प्रच्छन्नविग्रहः
भगवद्भक्तरूपेण लोकान्रक्षामि सर्वदा ४७

Concealing my identity, O Best of the Dvijas (Mārkaṇḍeya Ṛṣi), I alone appear in the garb of a devotee in the Kali Yuga and always protect my devotees.

Nārada Purāṇa 1.5.47

Mira Bai in her work called “Ab To Hari Nam Dhun Lo Lagi.” Between Verses 3-4, states:

syama kisor bhaye nava gora, caitanya jako nam! pitambar ko bhava dikhavai, kati kaupina base, gaur krsna ki dasi mira, jasa na krsna bane na bane! ab to hari nam dhun lo lagi!

“My Dark Beloved has now reappeared as the newly fresh Golden Lord Whose blessed Name is ‘Caitanya’! Though clad Himself in skimpy rags, His pitambara (yellow divine attire) as well as His inner most divine love sentiments are revealed to me. Now Mirabai is the maid-servant of the Golden Krsna Caitanya, whether the glory of My Krsna is recognized by all or not!”

This answer will provide only those references from the scriptures which are not lost yet, because skeptics doubt the authenticity of lost one’s, although we consider them equally authentic. In the end of the answer, the authenticity of the lost verses, and also the authenticity of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s biographies will be established.

Swetaswatara Upanishad 3.8 mentions Purusah as one with ‘Aditya Varnam’, ‘Aditya’ is sun, ‘Varnam’ means complexion, i.e. Golden or yellowish complexioned Lord. Opponents claim that this doesn’t mention Mahaprabhu, for other deities also display golden like complexion and luminosity. They further argue, that ‘Aditya Varnam’ can also be interpreted as “One who is as bright as the sun.” But using argument from context and argument from probability, we understand it’s speaking of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Immediately three verse after 3.8, i.e. Swetaswatara Upanishad 3.12, the speaker calls this purusah as “Mahan Prabhu”, (mahān prabhur vai puruṣaḥ sattvasyaiṣa pravartakaḥ). To find terms like ‘Aditya Varnam’ & ‘Mahan Prabhu’ in the same book, same chapter, same exact context, increases the probability towards the beautiful son of mother saci.

Hare Krishna !
This is Srila Prabhupada's Books reading order. Hope it will help you.

Srila Prabhupada: It is a fact, not story. One man, he went out of his village, and after ten years, he came back, advertised himself that, "I have become successful in yoga practice." So naturally villagers surrounded him, "Oh, you have...? What yoga practice you have learned?" "I can walk on the water." "Oh?" Actually, even at the present moment, if somebody comes and says, "I can walk...," many people will come, thousands of men.

So when everything arrangement was that he'll cross the river, walking on the water, one old man came. He said, "Sir, it is very wonderful, but it is two paisa worth. Two paisa worth." "Why?" "Now, you will walk and go the other side; I'll take a boat, pay him two paisa, I'll do the same thing. So what is your credit?"

🌸 Sanātana Gosvāmī’s Commentary 🌸

Read it. Feel it. Relish it.

Step into the Gopīs’ heart of viraha—where every word breathes prema for Śrī Kṛṣṇa. 💛

May this transcendental mellow charm our restless, polluted hearts and turn our attraction from material lust to Kṛṣṇa-prema. 🌺

The Story of Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi:

Once Bhimasena, the younger brother of Maharaja Yudhisthira, asked the great sage Shrila Vyasadeva, the grandfather of the Pandavas, if it is possible to return to the spiritual world without having observed all the rules and regulations of the Ekadasi fasts.
Bhimasena then spoke as follows, "Oh greatly intelligent and learned grandfather, my brother Yudhisthira, my dear mother Kunti, and my beloved wife Draupadi, as well as Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, fast completely on each Ekadasi and strictly follow all the rules, guidelines and regulative injunctions of that sacred day.
Being very religious, they always tell me that I should also fast on that day too.
But, Oh learned grandfather, I tell them that I cannot live without eating, because as the son of Vayudeva - Samanaprana, (the digestive air) hunger is unbearable to me.
I can give widely in charity and worship Lord Keshava properly with all manner of wonderful upacharas (items), but I cannot be asked to fast on Ekadasi.
Please tell me how I can obtain the same merits result without fasting."

Hearing these words, the grandsire of Bhima, Srila Vyasadeva said, "If you want to go to the heavenly planets and avoid the hellish planets, you should indeed observe a fast on both the light and dark Ekadasis."

Bhima replied, "Oh great saintly intelligent grandfather, please listen to my plea.
Oh greatest of munis, since I cannot live if I eat only once in a day, how can I possibly live if I fast completely?
Within my stomach burns a special fire named Vrika, the fire of digestion.
Agni the fire-god, descends from Lord Vishnu through Brahma, from Brahma to Angirasa, from Angirasa to Brihaspathi, and from Brihaspathi to Samyu, who was Agni's father.
He is the gatekeeper in charge of Nairritti, the south-eastern direction.
He is one of the eight material elements, and Parikshit Maharaja, he is very expert at examining things.
