The London Chapter of  Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math is a faith community of practicing devotees of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who appeared in West Bengal, India in the 16th century.

Lord Chaitanya taught the practice of devotional service to Lord Krsna based on the chanting of His Holy Names and in particular the chanting of the Maha-mantra:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama,

Rama Rama Hare Hare

Lord Chaitanya established this congregational chanting, or Sankirttan, as the universal religion for this age and predicted that it would spread to every town and village in the world. Now in the 21st century, Lord Chaitanya’s prediction is seeing its fulfilment. With followers and publications in almost every country and language, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math continues to practice and spread Lord Chaitanya’s teachings all over the world under the guidance of our Spiritual Master Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj the chosen successor of Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
