Question

Who wrote the Shikshatakam?
A. Vallabhacharya
B. Nityananda
C. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
D. Buddha

Answer 1

Hint: Shikshatakam has eight verses.
It is written in Sanskrit.
Its final verse is a Bengali quotation from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita, is not part of the actual Shikshashtakam.

Complete answer:
Vallabhacharya- He wrote several books, including Anubhashya (a Brahm Sutra commentary), Shodash Granth, or sixteen 'stotras' (tracts), and many Bhagavata Purana commentaries.
Nityananda- He is the founder of the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam trust, which in many countries has temples, gurukulas, and ashrams. He is said to have fled India and founded Kailaasa, his own self-proclaimed island nation.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu- A 16th-century Gaudiya Vaishnava Hindu prayer of eight verses written in the Sanskrit language is the Shikshashtakam. These are the only verses directly written by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1534), with much of his philosophy codified by his key followers, known as Vrindavan's Six Goswamis. The Shikshashtakam is quoted from Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami's biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, published in Bengali, in the Chaitanya Charitamrita. The name of the prayer derives from the words Śiksā in Sanskrit, meaning 'instruction' and astaka, meaning 'consisting of eight parts', i.e., stanzas. It is assumed that the teachings found in the eight verses constitute the root of all Bhakti yoga teachings within the Gaudiya tradition.
Buddha- Many holy books and scriptures are respected by Buddhists. Four of the most important are:-Tipitaka:- The oldest compilation of Buddhist writings is believed to be these books, known as the "three baskets." Sutras:- There are more than 2,000 sutras, primarily accepted by Mahayana Buddhists, which are holy teachings.

So, the right answer is Option C i.e. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who has written Shikshashtakam.

Note: There are usually two different Siksastakam moods we might tell. In truth, then, the Siksastakam is not as much an order as the Bhagavad-gita, or the Bhagavatam. It's more like the directions that the Vaisnava songs hold.
