How many weapons has Lord Caitanya?

They are all weapons. Lord Caitanya is not limited on one weapon. His beauty is His main weapon, because everyone who saw Him the learned and unlearned became attracted. That's the power of vapu association. Directly or indirectly it changed the heart of one or many who saw Him.

His associates sanga upanga and parshadam where all His empowered parts or parcels. They are also weapons. Through them He expanded His mercy everywhere - even those who escaped Him or could not get it from Him at a certain time. That's the nature of the Lord, He becomes more happy if His dear devotees gave their mercy out. Everyone reflected the moonlike Gauracandra. Their heart where so pure like a mirror, in this way the Lord expanded His mercy through these devotees - at that time and even today. That's His greatness, He could do everything Himself, but He likes more that His devotees assist Him. Therefore purity is truthfulness and other vaishnava qualities are also a weapon - satyam jayate.

The Holy name is a weapon. Especially His and His associates prema-nama ecstasy, changed everyones heart - param vijaytae Sri Krishna Sankirtanam.

His preaching of shastra is a weapon, especially against the scholars and mayavadis He met. shash means weapon and tra means delivers, therefore shas-tra. There are two kinds of weapons those who kill the body and those who kill the false ego purifiying you. The second is much better. You know why?

Your Holliness Sri Rohinisuta Prabhu,

Please, accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have got a question.
Everyday we offer mahaprasadam with a mantra: idam maha-prasadam om sangopangactra-parshadebhyo-namah.

What is the question here?

Please, could you exsplain the following thing:

"Other ages the Lord fought over demons with weapons, but this age He fights them over with the beautiful image of Sri Caytanya Mahaprabhu. Srila Jiva Gosvami explains that Lord Caytanya's beauty is an astra, a weapon against the demons. As Lord Caytanya attracts everyone, the demigods are amongst His confidants. His pastimes are unordinary, and His associates are wonderful."

Caytanya caritamrita, Adi, 3.52.

Could you explain the aspect of sangopangastram of the Lord.
Is that His beauty? Is that His associates? How does it comebine together? Could you also give some examples if possible.

Thank you very much.

Your servant Vrishakapi das,
St-Petersburg
