Chaitanya was a notable proponent for the Vaishnava school of Bhakti yoga (meaning loving devotion to Krishna/God) based on the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not known to have written anything himself, but a series of verses known as the Siksastaka, "eight verses of instruction" which he spoke were recorded by one of his close colleagues.
Chaitanya did request a select few among his followers (who later came to be known as the Six Gosvamis of Vrindavan) to systematically present the theology of bhakti he had taught in their writings.
