Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata Verses about Nitaai Gaura Naama

Dear Vaisnavas,

      Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! Here are all the slokas from the CB on Nityaananda Gauraanga naam I could find. It is my realization that anyone who has any doubt about Nitaai Gaura Naam should read the Chaitanya Bhagavata -- then all will become clear. Jaya Chaitanya Bhagavata! Jaya Vrindavana Das Thakura! Jaya Nityananda Gauranga!

Antya Chapter 3

Text 386 Anyone who once sings Lord Chaitanya's name or virtues at once crosses the ocean of repeated birth and death, an ocean that becomes like a calf's-hoofprint mud-puddle.

The Sheer potency of Nityananda Gauranga Sankirtana :

Text 362 Small children, who did not know anything, uprooted big, big trees.
Text 363 Loudly roaring, they uprooted trees and threw them about. Shouting, "I am a cowherd boy!", they ran here and there.
Text 364 So great was the power in those small children that even a hundred men could not catch them and hold them still.
Text 365 Chanting, "Shri Krishna Chaitanya Jaya Nityananda!", the children joyfully roared like lions.
Text 366 Overcoime with ecstasy, Lord Nityananda, who was naturally like a child, joined the children.

Text 478 "Because You are eternal (nitya, bliss (ananda, personified, You bear the name `Nityananda'. You are Lord Chaitanya's glories and virtues personified.

Text 58 "You may give Me mercy or punishment. By chanting Your holy name, You deliver even the trees."

Daaso'smi,
Srinath
