Nityananda Caritamrta

ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA
Licensed for Personal Use Only
You teach supreme knowledge to devotees, headed by
Lord Brahmä, Lord Çiva, and Närada. Everyone receives
viñëu-bhakti from You, yet You are untouched by
pride. You deliver the fallen souls without seeing their
faults. Only the very pious can know You. You are the
only enjoyer of sacrifices. Simply remembering You destroys
the bondage of ignorance at once. If You do not
manifest Yourself, then who will understand You?
“You are the most blissful Supreme Lord, completely
free from anger. You are the thousand-headed
Ananta, who holds the universes on His hoods. You are
Çré Lakñmaëacandra, destroyer of the Räkñasa dynasty.
You are Haladhara, the son of a cowherd. You descended
to save the fallen, wretched, foolish, and low-class
people. By Your mercy, everyone easily achieves the
devotional service that is aspired for by great sages and
mystic yogés”
While describing the glories of Nityänanda Prabhu, Advaita
Äcärya became absorbed in a trance of love of God. Advaita
Äcärya knew the glories of Nityänanda Prabhu. Some rare
great souls also know these facts. The quarreling that one sees
between Them is nothing but an expression of transcendental
bliss. Who can understand this statement of Advaita Äcärya:
“Know for certain that He is nondifferent from the Supreme
Lord.”
Both Nityänanda Prabhu and Advaita Äcärya spent Their
time happily discussing auspicious topics of Lord Kåñëa. After
exchanging many jokes and increasing His love and affection
for Him, Nityänanda Prabhu took permission from Advaita
Äcärya and left for Navadvépa.
Accepting Çré Caitanya and Nityänanda Prabhu as my life
and soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing of the glories of Their lotus
feet.
