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.
