Explanation

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (also spelled Chaitanya or Chatanya) was responsible for the great Bhakti movement revival in Bengal during the early 16th century (1486-1534 CE). He emphasized devotion to Krishna through sankirtan (congregational chanting) and influenced the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition. Ramanuja was active in South India, Tukaram in Maharashtra, and Kabir in North India - all were Bhakti saints but not specifically associated with the Bengal revival.
