“It was the desire of Srila Bhakisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada to install 108 lotus footprints of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu at the places where Lord Chaitanya visited to create awareness of His presence in that place. He installed eight such lotus footprints and he left the remaining hundred for us”

I offer my respectful obeisances to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. By the potency of the shelter of His lotus feet, even a fool can collect the valuable jewels of conclusive truth from the mines of the revealed scriptures.
(CC Adi 3.1)

Let me take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has descended in the form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional service and detachment from whatever does not foster Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy. Let me surrender unto His lotus feet.
(CC Madhya 6.254)

The lotus feet of the Lord are exactly like the pārijāta trees, or wish-fulfilling trees, and the devotees are like bumblebees. They are always attracted by the lotus feet of the Lord.
(SB 4.30.32 purport)

kṛṣṇa mātā, kṛṣṇa pitā, kṛṣṇa prāṇa dhana caraṇe dhariyā bali,—’kṛṣṇe deha, mana’”
“Kṛṣṇa is your mother, Kṛṣṇa is your father, Kṛṣṇa is your life and wealth. I fall at your feet and beg you to engage your minds in thinking of Kṛṣṇa.”
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khaṇḍa 1.343)

Understanding that the Lord’s lotus feet were most tender, the goddess extended her tongue in the form of those flowers.
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khaṇḍa 23.306)
