In many senses, it could be said that the Srimad Bhagavatam is only ever really understood thoroughly having understood the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and the significance of His appearance,  and His teachings are understood through the lense of Srila Krishna das Kaviraja , and  his Bengali writing’s the Caitanya Caratamrita .
Certainly , this was the experience of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, who brought the Vedic teachings within both the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta to the modern world .
The Smriti of the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana is the absolute essence of what Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed and what Krishna das Kaviraja points us all to . The varni of the Goswami’s through their litratures and the Acaryas who further deliberate or speak on them is known as  “Sabdha Brahman ” pure trancendental sounds  that penetrate the conditioned heart and reveal the highest spiritual realms . Thus, Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that if you want to know the truth, you must approach the spiritual master who has realised the truth, having heard it from his spiritual master and rendered services under his direction . If one has done so, the whole of the param para will open up , and the Sastra sanga of the Goswami’s and their followers may bg their grace and mercy be understood. The Srimad Bhagavatam and the position of Radha Krishna can not be understood without going through Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His representatives , such a lila is puzzling to even South Indian top most Brahminical Sattvic devotees. Yet Mahāprabhu is distributing knowledge of the most confidential portions of the Bhagavatam to one and all . This is certainly most mysterious and magnanimous.
