Various Vedas and Upanishads mention Chinna Avatar. A Chinna Avatar refers to the Divine Descent of Shri Hari which is secretive.
Thus only the topmost devotees know when Shri Hari is present as a Chinna Avatar, the rest think
of Him only as a great Personality.
That Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is a Chinna Avatar and Krsna Himself is not something that is stated by Iskcon without Shastra Pramana.

That Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is a Chinna Avatar and Krsna Himself is not something that is stated by Iskcon without Shastra Pramana.
10+ Vedas & Upanishads (including Mundaka, Svetsvatara and many more) foretell the appearance of
Shri Krsna Chaitanya. Even Prahalada Maharaj mentions as stated in Srimad Bhagvatam about the appearance of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Shri Hari has 2 types of Maya - Mahamaya and Yogmaya.
Mahamaya bewilders Jivatmas because of their own ignorance.
Yogmaya works only the purest devotees of Shri Hari. If Shri Hari wants to perform a Leela wherein he wants to make His devotees forget something for fun in His
Mahamaya bewilders Jivatmas because of their own ignorance.
Yogmaya works only the purest devotees of Shri Hari. If Shri Hari wants to perform a Leela wherein he wants to make His devotees forget something for fun in His
Lila that is the work of Yogmaya. For example when Tulsidasji met Shri Ram, He came to meet him at a place where Tulsidasji would apply Tilak to all. While Tulsidasji applied Tilak he would ask all to say JaiSiyaRam. Shri Ram started arguing and refused to say JaiSiyaRam.

Is basically God trolling His most loved devotees for fun. At that moment Tulsidasji gets very irritated.
Obviously Tulsidasji is a pure devotee and wouldn't be affected by Maya (material energy) being on the spiritual platform. Thus these things are facilitated by Yogmaya.

Similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu wanted even His purest devotees to not know about His appearance until a specific time. With Yogmaya he would associate with His pure devotees while they didn't realize.

One of His friends was Kholavecha Sridhar. He was extremely poor and extremely
devout. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would come and haggle with him about the banana cups he sold.
Srila Sridhar was so pure that he would never take more profit than allowed by Shastra. Whatever little money he would get, 50% of that he would offer to Ganga Ma.

absolutely enjoyed teasing His devotee.
At this time Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has not yet revealed Himself to Sridhar and thus Sridhar thinks of Him as a brahmana. Obv this is only due to Yogmaya and not any ignorance.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would tease Sridhar often saying why are
you worshipping Ganga, instead worship Me for I'm the father of Ganga.
Hearing this Srila Sridhar would innocently block is ears and chant Hari, Hari while frowning at Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would be laughing.

For those who don't know, as per Shastra the origin of Ganga Ma is related to Vaman Avatar. Thus what Mahaprabhu is saying is true, but obviously he's just teasing His devotee and enjoying that.
Another one of favourite pastimes is how a couple of drunkards get blessed by Him

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is walking with Srivasa (who is Narada Muni) Thakura.

They are at the outskirts of the town and there is a bar over there. The drunkards over there see Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and start saying "oh this is Nimai Pandita (His name before taking Sanyasa)we really
like Him, He is so attractive. He does such amazing Kirtana in such a sweet beautiful voice."
While saying all this, although drunk they start doing Kirtana immediately and chanting Harinaam and discussing how nice Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is.

smiles and Srivasa Thakur feels elated to witness the causeless mercy of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
We may all worship Shri Krsna or Shri Ram but if we want our Bhakti to become pure and perfect we must try to humbly understand and know more about Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

My Ishta
is Shri Ram but ever since I read about Chaitanya Mahaprabhu my Bhakti grows effortlessly, with no sacrifice or struggle. Such is causeless mercy that helps the fallen souls of Kaliyuga.
