After taking sannyÄsa at the age of twenty-four, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu lived another twenty-four years. For six of these years, He traveled extensively throughout India, sometimes going to JagannÄtha PurÄ« and sometimes leaving. After traveling for six years, the Lord fixed His residence at JagannÄtha PurÄ« and stayed there for the eighteen remaining years of His life. During these eighteen years He mainly chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa with His devotees.
