Lord Nityänanda’s Meeting with Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu<br />
Someone else said, “Both of Them are just like two Cupids.”<br />
Others said, “They are just like Kåñëa and Balaräma.”<br />
Another person said, “I do not know much about Them, but<br />
I have a feeling that Ananta Çeña has taken shelter of the lap<br />
of Kåñëa.”<br />
Still others said, “They are just like the two friends, Kåñëa<br />
and Arjuna, in the way They exchanged great affection.”<br />
Someone said, “It appears that They are closely related to<br />
one another. Whatever They say to each other is done by gestures.”<br />
In this way, all the devotees happily described the glories of<br />
Lord Nityänanda and Lord Gauracandra. Anyone who hears<br />
about the meeting of Nitäicäìda with Gauracandra will no<br />
doubt be released from material bondage.<br />
Accepting Çré Caitanya and Çré Nityänanda as my life and<br />
soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing the glories of Their lotus feet.<br />
Caööagräma. His father was Mädhava Miçra and his mother was Ratnavaté.<br />
He left his native village and came to reside at Navadvépa.<br />
After assisting Lord Gauräìga in His scholastic and saìkértana pastimes<br />
in Navadvépa, he came to Néläcala and engaged in the service<br />
of Çré Gopénätha. He entered into the eternal pastimes of the Lord<br />
after the disappearance of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. Later on, Nayänanda,<br />
the son of Väëénätha, who was the brother of Gadädhara,<br />
took the Gopénätha Deity that hung around Gadädhara’s neck, as<br />
well as Gadädhara’s Bhagavad-gétä, and installed them in a temple<br />
at Bhäratapüra. Çré Gadädhara Paëòita was a manifestation of Çré<br />
Rädhä combined with Rukmiëé and Lakñmé.<br />
