Nityananda Prabhu by Visakha dasi
Nityananda Prabhu is non-different from Lord Balarama, who appears as the older brother of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. His internal potency, an expansion of Sri Balarama maintains the transcendental existence of all the planets in the spiritual sky, where all the living beings are eternally liberated souls. In the spiritual sky, the influence of the material energy is completely absent.
Outside the planets in the spiritual sky is the impersonal manifestation of Sri Krishna, which is known as the brahmajyoti. On the other side of Brahmajyoti is the spiritual Causal Ocean. The material energy exists on the other side of the Causal Ocean, without touching it. In the Causal Ocean is Maha-Vishnu, who is an expansion of Balarama. Maha-Vishnu places His transcendental glance over the material energy, which produces the entire cosmic manifestation.
Maha-Vishnu again enters every universe as the reservoir of all living entities, Garbhodakasayi Vishnu. From Garbhodakasayi Vishnu expands Kshirodakasayi Vishnu, the Supersoul of every living entity. Maha-Vishnu, Garbhodakasayi Vishnu and Kshirodakasayi Vishnu are plenary expansions of Sri Balarama, who is nondifferent from Nityananda Prabhu.The spiritual master is the representative of Balarama, the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who supplies spiritual strength, so Nityananda Prabhu is the original spiritual master. The spiritual master is the manifestation of the mercy of Krishna, and Nityananda Prabhu determinedly tries to help people by bringing them to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s service. The debauchees Jagai and Madhai were among the first such people, and they became exalted devotees due to the astounding mercy of Sri Nityananda Prabhu.
May the all-powerful Nityananda Prabhu also extend His causeless mercy to all of us!
