Lord Caitanya further explained that not only Krsnaloka but even Vrndavana,

Lord Krsna’s abode on this planet, cannot be estimated as far as potency is

concerned. From one point of view, Vrndavana is estimated to be thirty-two

square miles in area, yet in one part of this Vrndavana all the Vaikunthas

exist. The area of the present Vrndavana miles in area, and Vrndavana City

is estimated to be about sixteen krosas, or thirty-two miles. How it is all

the Vaikunthas exist there is beyond material calculation.

from www.veda.harekrsna.cz/bhaktiyoga/philosophy.htm:

 

Moreover, the devotees of all avataras took part in the lila of Sri

Chaitanya, the avatari (Navadvipa Mahatmya, ch. 5,10,11):

 

"'Brahma, hear these secret (antara) words, but do not reveal this openly in

the scriptures. Taking the role of a devotee, I will taste the nectar of

bhakti rasa and propagate the most rare process of sankirtana. I will make

the devotees of all the previous avataras drunk with the nectar of

Vrndavana."

 

"'O brahmana, I will tell you a very secret thing. In a short time, there

will be ecstasy given out here. Gauranga will appear at Mayapur in

Sacidevi's house, and He will freely distribute prema. In all these places

the Lord and His devotees will dance madly in the nectar of sankirtana. The

Lord will perform kirtana along with the devotees of all the previous

incarnations. The whole universe will be drowned in the flood of prema;

other than the false logicians, everyone will receive that gift of love.

 

"The Lord lifted the couple up with His two lotus hands and spoke nectarean

words, 'Both of you are My exalted devotees, therefore I desired to give you

My darsana. Very soon I will take birth in Nadia in the womb of Saci. With

all the devotees of all the avataras, I will distribute the gift of prema

and Krsna kirtana."

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Your servant, bh. Jan
