Glories of Lord Nityananda's Name

Compiled by Tidandi Bhikshu Bhaktiratna Sadhu.

nityananda-hena bhakta sunile sravane; avasya paibe krsnacandra sei jane.

(Chaitanya-bhagavata, Adi-khanda 9.385)

Shripada Madhavendera Puri states:

"If one simply hears the name 'Nityananda', he will most certainly attain

the lotus feet of Lord Krishnacandra irrespective of any other

consideration."

`nityananda' balite haya krsna-premodaya;aulaya sakala anga,asru-ganga vaya.

(Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi-lila 8.23)

"Simply by chanting the name 'Nityananda' one awakens his love for Krsna.

Thus all his bodily limbs are agitated by ecstasy of love of God, and tears

flow from his eyes like the waters of the Ganges."

name nityananda tumi, rupe nityananda; ei tumi nityananda rama murttimanta.

(Chaitanya-bhagavata, Madhya-khanda 12.18)

Lord Gauranga tells Lord Nityananda:

"Your name is Nityananda (eternally full of eternal bliss). Your form is

also Nityananda (eternally full of eternal bliss). Your are Nityananda

(unlimited bliss) in personified form because You are Lord Balarama

Himself."

se sambandha nahi ja'r, brtha janma gelo ta'r

sei pasu boro duracar

nitai na bolilo mukhe, majilo samsara-sukhe

vidya-kule ki koribe tar (Narottama das Thakura)

Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu by

chanting His name 'Nityananda' is understood to have spoiled his valuable

human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal.

Because he never uttered the holy name 'Nityananda', he has become merged

into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family

tradition do to save him from the cycle of birth and death?

Also it is said:

nitaiera nama jei bale eka bara;

ananta karama-dosa anta haya tara.

“Anyone who even once chants ‘Nityananda’, immediately puts an end to the

sinful reactions accumulated by him for the past unlimited number of lives.”
