All glories to Çré Advaita Äcärya and all glories to all the devotees of Çré Gaura! All glories to the Lord, who is the life and soul of Narahari and Gadädhara! O Lord, please glance mercifully upon me. All glories to Çré Gauräìga, along with His devotees! If one hears the topics of Lord Nityänanda, he will certainly achieve pure devotional service. The topics of Madhya-khaëòa are pure nectar. Hearing them destroys one’s atheistic mentality. Please behold beautiful Lord Nityänanda to your eyes’ full satisfaction. He is personified love and affection for Lord Gauräìga. Lord Nityänanda’s limbs are filled with transcendental mellows for Lord Gauräìga.

He resided in Våndävana, waiting for this auspicious moment. Understanding that His Lord had revealed Himself, Lord Nityänanda immediately went to Navadvépa and stayed at the house of Nandana Äcärya 2 . Nandana Äcärya was a mahä-bhägavata, a pure devotee of the Lord. He saw Lord Nityänanda, who is non-different from Lord Balaräma, as being as effulgent as the sun. Lord Nityänanda was dressed as an avadhüta, or mendicant. He possessed a very attractive body. He was always in a deep and sober mood. Lord Nityänanda chanted the holy names of Kåñëa throughout the day and night. He was the abode of Lord Caitanya’s mercy within the three worlds. He often shouted loudly because of His ecstasy, being maddened with love of God. The enchanting beauty of His face defeated millions of moons. His sweet smile enlivened all the people of the world. His beautiful brilliant teeth were just like rows of pearls, and His two broad lotus eyes increased the beauty of His face. His hands reached to His knees and His chest was very broad. His lotus feet were expert in walking. Lord Nityänanda spoke to everyone with burning compassion. Hearing the words from His lotus mouth completely destroyed one’s bondage to fruitive activities. When <strong>Nityananda</strong> Prabhu arrived in Nadia, all the people there began to chant, “Jaya Jaya!” Who is so expert to describe Lord Nityänanda’s glories? It is Lord Nityänanda who broke the sannyäsa daëòa of Lord Gaurasundara. It is He who enlivened all the fallen foolish traders of Bengal. If anyone simply chants His holy names, he will certainly be purified. Seeing Lord Nityänanda, Nandana Äcärya became very happy. He offered Him lunch and kept Him at his house. Whoever hears 2 Nandana Äcärya was the son of Caturbhuja Paëòita, a resident of Navadvépa. Çrémän Mahäprabhu, Çré Nityänanda Prabhu and Çré Advaita Prabhu stayed at his house during the course of Their pastimes. 36 This book can be had from www.touchstonemedia.com
