Mahaprabhu performing seshashayi pastime with Advaita Acarya

Dear Swamiji and all devotees,

      Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! My humble pranams!

      In their Puri Pastimes, when Mahaprabhu assumed the form of Vishnu, Srila Advaita Acarya manifested his potency to carry him and they enacted the pastime of Seshashayi Vishnu.

      But isn't this job done by Lord Nityananda usually? Isn't it very surprising that Lord Advaita, who is none other than Maha Vishnu himself lying down on Ananta Sesha is now doing the job of Ananta Sesha carrying Lord Gauranga? Lord Chaitanya is always carried by Lord Nityananda, but here Advaita Acharya has taken that role. What is the meaning of this?

      I am very amazed by this surprising pastime. I have no qualifications, and I may be most unworthy to know more about it, but nevertheless I felt like asking this for the pleasure of all devotees. What is this mysterious pastime?

Murkho'smi,
Srinath
