Re: Lord Nityaananda and His Name are non-different and all powerful

Dear devotees,

       Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! This is a truly wonderful poem on Lord Nityaananda and I realise how much it applies to me. It makes me feel really ashamed of myself and truly proud of having a Lord like Nitaai. Jay Nitaai Gaura!

    The merciful lord Nityananda
a Gaudiya poet named Krishna das
(Śrī-raga)

adosha daraśi mora prabhu nityananda
na bhajinu hena prabhura caranaravinda

My lord Nityananda doesn�t see anyone�s
faults, yet i didn�t worship his lotus feet!

haya re na jani mui kemana asura
pasha na bhajinu hena dayara thakura

Alas, i did not know! What a demon i was!
i did not achieve the worship of Nityananda
Prabhu, the personification of mercy!

haya re abhagara prana ki sukhe achaha
nitai baliya kena mariya na yaha

O my unfortunate heart, will you ever be-
come happy? Why don�t you call out, "nitai!",
and die?

nitaira karuna śuni pasana milaya
haya re daruna hiya na darabe taya

When they hear of lord nitai�s mercy, even
the stones melt. O my cruel heart, you do not
melt when you hear his glories!

nitai chaitanya aparadha nahi mane
yare tare nija prema-bhakti kare dane

Nitai and Chaitanya don�t take offense, yet
give the gift of ecstatic love.

tara nama laite na gale mora hiya
krishna-dasa kahe mui bada abhagiya

Alas! the lord�s holy name does not reside
in my throat or in my heart! Krishna das says,
"i am very unfortunate!"

Your servant,
Srinath

Nityaananda ! Gauraanga ! Hare Krishna !

I once heard in Swamiji's lecture that when we say Ra Lord Krishna stops all His activities and when we complete the word by saying dha He runs after us. Similarly when we say Ni Lord Gauraanga stops all His activities and when we say taai He runs after us as He is always keen to know who is chanting His dear Nitaai's name.

Dear JagGaura dasa Prabhuji,

Nityaananda ! Gauraanga ! Hare Krishna !

Dandavts Pranaam.

I really would like to thank you for your answer. I am so happy you have been able to understand the mood in which I was trying to glorify Lord Nityaananda. All the devotees in the world know that Lord Gauraanga Krishna is the original candle and all other incarnations are His devotees. I am just trying to glorify Lord Nityaananda's magnaminous merciful nature. I was just trying to say that Lord Nityaananda is an independent God with independent power ( though even I know that ultimately His power has come from Lord Gauraanga Krishna ) which He uses with independence to bestow mercy on sinful souls. When He bestows mercy, Lord Gauraanga also bestows mercy. If we glorify Lord Gauraanga He will certainly be pleased but if we glorify His Nitaai then He will be much more pleased.

ys,
Mihir.

Sri Brahma Samhita verse 5 purport -Gaura is established as identical

In many Scriptural references such as
"asan varnas trayah krsna-varnam tvis� 'krsnam yada
pasyah pasyati rukma-varnam "mahan prabhur vai", etc.,

Gaurachandra is established as identical with Krsna. Yet the Golden Form in which He graciously appears in the Eternal Abode of Nabadwip, identical with Goloka, where He is ever devoted to tasting the Nectar of the Divine Pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna-that Golden (Gaura) Form also appears in every one of these Vedic statements.

As by the Potency of Yogam�y�, or the Current of Krsna's Internal Personal Potency, His Birth and other Pastimes occur in Gokula localized in the earthly plane, similarly, by the same Potency of Yogamaya the Golden Lord Gaura's Advent from the womb of mother Sacidevi and all His Divine Pastimes occur in Sri Nabadwip Dh�ma in the earthly locality.
    This Divine Truth is an axiomatic principle of Spiritual Science, and not a figment of the imagination subordinate to Maya, the deluding potency.

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Actually Lord Gauranga states in Caitanya Bhagavata that Lord Nityananda is superior to him, and he means it sincerely. He is superior to Lord Gauranga because he is even more merciful and accesible than Lord Caitanya, Lord Caitanya even says this. Without Lord Nityananda's presence in this kali yuga very sinful people can't be delivered. Lord Caitanya wouldn't go near Jagai and Madhai, he would have beat them and taught them a lesson, but Lord Nityananda went out of his way to deliver these horrible sinners; it means anyone has a chance to be delivered.

Also the mellow of service is so desirable that Lord Krishna takes the form of Lord Gauranga to taste that love of Krishna(himself), so it can be argued that the pure devotees of the Lord either visnu or jiva tattva are greater than the Lord himself. Actually Lord Gauranga-Krishna is the greatest servant to all because he has to maintain every living being and everything in all existence as he is the original cause of everything, everything rests on his shoulders.
