Śrī Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is God, the Supreme Person. He is indeed Kṛiṣhṇa, the Supreme Lord.

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhou, who was actually Krishna Himself, came to Earth 500 years ago as a great sage, a Pure Soul, a Great Devotee of God, to teach human beings the way to spiritual realization proper to the age in which we live, namely the sankirtane, or the song of the holy names of God.

In the next age, the Kali-yuga or the Kali Age (Iron Age) - the one we are living in now, the Lord incarnates to teach the song of the Holy Name of Krishna. Wearing a yellow carnation, he personally shows people how to love God through the song of the Name of Krishna and manifests Himself his love for God through song and dance, surrounded by thousands of people who follow Him.

“O Maheśvarī, the Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛiṣhṇa himself, the very soul of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and the master of the creation, maintenance and annihilation of the universe, descends into this world in the form of the Avatar of Gold.”(Ananta-saṁhitā)

Knowing that He [Śrī Caitanya or Chaitanya] would be the Avatar for Kali's age, Gargamuni had already predicted his advent at the ceremony where Kṛiṣhṇa received his name.

“This child [Kṛiṣhṇa], now appeared with a dark transcendental complexion, affects three other complexions - white, red, and yellow - according to the age in which He manifests Himself.”
