Chaitanya Bhoomi

 Why the place where Ambedkar was cremated called Chaitanya Bhoomi. 

Chaitanya is described as:

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Anich  (1486 - 1534), was the full incarnation of Lord Krishna, who came as a monk in eastern India in the 16th century(present-day Bangladesh and states of West Bengal, Bihar,Jharkhand and Orissa of India).Sri Krishna Chaitanya was a notable proponent for the Vaishnava school of Bhakti yoga (meaning loving devotion toKrishna/God) based on the philosophy of the Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita. Specifically he worshipped the forms of Radha and Krishna and popularised the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha mantra and have composed Siksastakam in Sanskrit. His line of followers, known as Gaudiya Vaishnavas, revere him as an avatar of Krishna in the mood of Radharani who was prophesised to appear in the later verses of the Bhagavata Purana.

How on earth Chaitanya can be related to Ambedkar? Any comments?

Chaitnya means Jagran or Chetna wherein the downtrodden societies of India had been enlightened by that soul to awake, be educated and struggle to their rights. Such bhoomi wherein such sould had departed us is definitely a Cheitnyabhoomi.
