But He is yet an individual personality who likes to be with His associates. Srila Prabhupada noted in a commentary in the songbook: Lord Caitanya is always associated: He is not alone. We never see a picture of Lord Caitanya alone. At least there must be Lord Nityananda or Gadadhara Pandita. >>> Ref.
