Theme Analysis
The manifestations of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's internal emotions form the very heart of His divine pastimes. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead experiencing the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, He frequently expressed the most agonizing depths of ecstatic love and separation from Kṛṣṇa, crying loudly and reciting transcendental poetry to relieve His burning heart. Simultaneously, while playing the role of the perfect teacher, He expressed intense affection for His pure devotees and profound humility to set a standard for all conditioned souls. He even utilized external expressions of anger to strictly instruct His associates and correct their spiritual etiquette. Whether demonstrating the symptoms of a paramahaṁsa or teaching the purifying potency of the saṅkīrtana movement, every emotion the Lord expressed was entirely transcendental and meant for the absolute deliverance of the fallen souls.
- Expressing Ecstasy in Separation: The Lord continuously expressed intense bewilderment, lamentation, and ecstatic madness due to His overwhelming feelings of separation from Kṛṣṇa.
- Expressing Anger for Instruction: To establish proper spiritual etiquette and warn His associates against deviations, the Lord sometimes exhibited external feelings of anger or sadness.
- Expressing Supreme Humility: Acting as the ideal Vaiṣṇava, the Lord expressed extreme humility, viewing Himself as a conditioned soul and firmly rejecting any verses that praised His own divine glories.
- Expressing Affection for Devotees: Beneath His strict principles of renunciation, the Lord freely expressed boundless affection, mercy, and intimate emotional reciprocation with His pure servants.

A
- After hearing the story about how His staff had been broken, the Lord expressed a little sadness and, displaying a bit of anger, began to speak as follows
- After thus expressing their feelings to each other, Lord Caitanya and Laksmi returned home. Who can understand the grave pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu?
- As soon as Sanatana Gosvami arrived in front of Lord Caitanya, the Lord, seeing him, became merciful to him. The Lord, who has the complexion of a golden campaka flower, opened His arms and embraced him while expressing great affection
C
- Caitanya expressed anger when touched by the King. Since the Lord was very much satisfied with the humble behavior of the King, He intentionally allowed the King to touch Him, but externally He expressed anger just to warn His personal associates
- Confirming the potency of the sankirtana movement, these words (of CC Adi 17.217) from the very mouth of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu express how people can be purified simply by chanting the holy name of Lord Krsna
H
I
- In great humility, considering Himself a conditioned soul of the material world, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu again expressed His desire to be endowed with service to the Lord
- In this way Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu always expressed bewilderment and lamented in separation from Krsna. At such times He used to recite the slokas from Ramananda Raya's drama, known as Jagannatha-vallabha-nataka
S
- Sometimes He (Caitanya) would run toward these dunes (appearing like Govardhana Hill) at high speed, crying very loudly, expressing the state of mind exhibited by Radharani. Thus Caitanya Mahaprabhu was absorbed in thoughts of Krsna and His pastimes
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu expressed anger because He wanted to teach all other sannyasis that they should not give up the staff before attaining the platform of paramahamsa
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to express His mind in this way: "Where is the Lord of My life, who is playing His flute? What shall I do now? Where should I go to find the son of Maharaja Nanda"
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always expressing the ecstatic emotions of Srimati Radharani that She exhibited when She saw Uddhava at Vrndavana. Similar feelings, experienced by Madhavendra Puri, are expressed in this verse - CC Madhya 4.197
- Such feelings (exactly like a lover who is dejected in separation from the beloved), which were expressed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for nearly twelve years at the end of His pastimes, are described in brief in this Second Chapter of Madhya-lila
T
- This (wherever He stayed was immediately converted to all places of pilgrimage) was also expressed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself when He danced in the Ratha-yatra. At that time He said that His very mind was Vrndavana - mora-mana-vrndavana
- Thus walking and walking, the Lord eventually arrived at the place known as Atharanala. Arriving there, He expressed His external consciousness, speaking to Sri Nityananda Prabhu
W
- When He (Lord Caitanya) was then informed about the death of Srivasa Thakura’s son, He expressed His regret, saying - Why was this news not given to Me before
- When Rupa Gosvami thus recited his verse, Caitanya Mahaprabhu disapproved of it because it described His personal glories. He expressed the opinion that it was an exaggerated explanation
