Re: Lord Nityaananda and His Name are non-different and all powerful
dandavats Mihir
without being offensive to you. My Prabhupada never called me prabhuji.
Now getting back to Nityananda being non different from Krsna.
TEXT 5
eka-i svarupa donhe, bhinna-matra kaya
adya kaya-vyuha, krsna-lilara sahaya
TRANSLATION
They are both one and the same identity. They differ only in form. He is the first bodily expansion of Krsna, and He assists in Lord Krsna's transcendental pastimes.
PURPORT
Balarama is a svamsa expansion of the Lord, and therefore there is no difference in potency between Krsna and Balarama. The only difference is in Their bodily structure. As the first expansion of Godhead, Balarama is the chief Deity among the first quadruple forms, and He is the foremost assistant of Sri Krsna in His transcendental activities.
TEXT 6
sei krsna--nava-dvioe sri-caitanya-candra
sei balarama--sange sri-nityananda
TRANSLATION
That original Lord Krsna appeared in Navadvipa as Lord Caitanya, and Balarama appeared with Him as Lord Nityananda.
TEXT 7
sankarsanah karana-toya-sayi
garbhoda-sayi ca payobdhi-sayi
sesas ca yasyamsa-kalah sa nitya--
nandakhya-ramah saranam mamastu
TRANSLATION
May Sri Nityananda Rama be the object of my constant remembrance. Sankarsana, SesaNaga and the Visnus who lie on the Karana Ocean, Garbha Ocean and ocean of milk are His plenary portions and the portions of His plenary portions.
PURPORT
Sri Svarupa Damodara Gosvami has recorded this verse in his diary to offer his respectful obeisances to Lord Nityananda Prabhu. This verse also appears as the seventh of the first fo urteen verses of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta.
TEXT 8
sri-balarama gosani mula-sankarsana
panca-rupa dhari' karena krsnera se vana
TRANSLATION
Lord Balarama is the original Sankarsana. He assumes five other forms to serve Lord Krsna.
TEXT 9
apan e karena krsna-iilara sahaya
srsti-lila-karya kare dhari' cari kaya
TRANSLATION
He Himself helps in the pastimes of Lord Krsna, and He does the work of creation in four other forms.
TEXT 10
srsty-adika se va,--tanra ajnara palana
`sesa'-rupe kare krsnera vividha sevana
TRANSLATION
He executes the orders of Lord Krsna in the work of creation, and in the form of Lord Sesa He serves Krsna in various ways.
PURPORT
According to expert opinion, Balarama, as the chief of the original quadruple forms, is also the original Sankarsana. Balarama, the first expansion of Krsna, ex pands Himself in five forms: (1) Maha-San karsana, (2) Karanabd h isayi, (3) Garbhodakasayi, (4) Ksirodakasayi, and (5) Sesa. These five plenary portions are responsible for both the spiritual and material cosmic manifestations. In these five forms Lord Balarama assists Lord Krsna in His activities. The first four of these forms are responsible for the cosmic manifestations, whereas Sesa is responsible for personal service to the Lord. Sesa is called Ananta, or unlimited, because He assists the Personality of Godhead in His unlimited expansions by performing an unlimited variety of services. Sri Balarama is the servitor Godhead who serves Lord Krsna in all affairs of existence and knowledge. Lord Nityananda Prabhu, who is the same servitor Godhead, Balarama, performs the same service to Lord Gauranga by constant associatio n.
TEXT 11
sarva-rupe asvadaye krsna-se vananda
sei balarama--gaura-sange nityananda
TRANSLATION
In all the forms He tastes the transcendental bliss of serving Krsna. That same Balarama is Lord Nityananda, the companion of Lord Gaurasundara.
There is a big difference from Master and servant. Nityananda Balaram is serving Lord Krsna.
