"In this incarnation Lord Nityananda is carefully hidden. Only if Lord Caitanya Himself reveals Him can anyone see Lord Nityananda." (C.Bhag. Madhya 3.171)

This is very important verse from Chaitanya Bhagavata and this verse indirectly describes glories and revealing of Nitaai Naam to this world. Bada guta nityananda. Lord Nityananda is very carefully hidden.

Glories of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu are very well known. When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu came He Himself distributed His glories in form of chanting Hare Krsna Maha-Mantra. He Himself distributed His Own glories.

Generally speaking, in Gaura-lila, glories of Nitaai Naam are carefully hidden, while glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ( Sri Sri Radha-Krsna ) or Hare Krsna Maha Mantra are very well known to majority of devotees. We can see it practicaly even today.

Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya is Sri Sri Radha-Krsna combined and therefore undifferent from Hare Krsna Maha Mantra. They are identical. But glories of Nitaai Naam,  glories of Nityananda Prabhu, glories of Nitaai Naam, remained very well hidden. That is all part of Gaura-lila. We should not think that Gaura-lila ended 500 years ago. Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu is still performing His sankirtana lila and spreading Holy Names. We are so fortunate to live in this time. Srilla Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Srilla Bhaktisiddhantha Sarasvati Thakura, Srilla Prabhupada...it is all part of Nitaai-Gaura lila, and this lila is dinamic, ever-increasing pastime of Lord. Uninformed persons sometimes are saying - why did not Lord Caitanya directly said to us to chant Nityananda, Nityananda, He told us to chant Hare Krsna, but such persons do not understand dinamic of Gaura-lila. Glories of Nitaai Naama are carefully hidden - bada guta nityananda.That is confirmed in this verse. What does mean very well hidden? That means that evan many devotees are not aware of this sublime glories of His Name. So rare, so well hidden. bada guta nityananda But His pure devotees broke treasurebox of Nitaai Naam, and by supreme mercy of Lord Gauranga, glories of Nitaai Naam are becoming known to this world. What will be the result?
   
"ihane sebile krsna-premabhakti haya"

By serving Lord Nityananda one attains pure love and devotion to Lord Krsna." (C.Bhag. Madhya12.18-29)

Lord Nityananda is the key, gate to prema, to Vrindavana. When one take shelter of His Name, such person automatically becomes eligable to enter into Goloka Vrindavana. So this process of chanting Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krsna is dynamic manifestation of ever-increasing and blissfull Gaura lila.

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
All glories to Swami Gaurangapada!

Your servant, Ishana Thakura das
