Oneuser Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The Five Features * Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is said to be Krishna (God) Himself, The Supreme Person. * Nityananda is Krishna's first personal expansion. * Advaita Acharya is a combined incarnation of Lord Vishnu & Lord Shiva (Harihara). * Gadadhara is an incarnation of Krishna's internal energy. * Srivasa is Krishna's pure devotee. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna, Nityananda is Balarama (yes?), who are Advaita, Gadadhara and Srivasa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indulekhadasi Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nityananda is Balaram but is in addition Ananga Manjari. Therefore He has even a higher position than Balaram, because He has experience of madhurya rasa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakti-Fan Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Nityananda is Balaram but is in addition Ananga Manjari. Therefore He has even a higher position than Balaram, because He has experience of madhurya rasa. Two quotes from Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja: Regarding madhurya-rasa, those gopis who are kayavyuha-rupa, bodily expansions of Srimati Radhika, are Her manifestations. Baladeva serves in all rasas, but not in sringara or madhurya-rasa. To serve in that rasa He takes the form of Ananga Manjari. Nityananda Prabhu is akanda-guru-tattva. Does he have the mood of a manjari or not? Yes, he is Ananga Manjari. One may think, “He does not have a manjari mood and he did not preach it – so he is not guru. I will not obey him. I will only obey Srila Rupa Gosvami.” A person who thinks in this way is a bogus person, an offender in the lotus feet of the entire guru-parampara. We must obey the guru-parampara. Those who are pure preachers of Krsna’s holy name know the mood of the manjaris, but not all are qualified to hear about it from them.
