in Garga Samhitä and in Padma Puräna, Bhagavän ShreeKrshna HIMSELF reveals that anyone who tries to differntiate between HIM and Bhagavän ShreeShankar surely is chasing the darkest region of hell!

i dont think it should be very difficult for the shuddha bhaktas of Bhagavän ShreeChaitnaya Mahäprabhujee to understand how ShreeBhagavän cannot act like a Devotee.

Moreover, look at the feat of Bhagavän ShreeShiva, what has HE not become just to serve the LORD...

>in the Däsya-bhäva, He comes as LORD Hanumänjee Mahäräja, and as Muräri Guptajee.
>In Vätsalya-bhäva, He comes as LORD Advaita Ächäryajee (ShreeChaitanya Bhägavat 3.4.466),
>and in Mädhürya-Bhäva, HE comes as ShreeShiväni Gopee (Shreemad Bhägavatam)

i know i'm committing a great offence, not of Bhagavän ShreeKrshna but that of ShreeShiva.

i hope things are better understood.

Shreel Bhaktisiddhänt Sarasvateejee says in a purport of Brahma-samhitä 5.45 that, 'Lord Shankar is not a separate Godhead', now this clearly means that HE is Godhead, other wise where was any necessity of writing such a line?

i hope i'm not confusing any reader, or else, i'm in a great danger...

and as Jagadguru ShreeKripälujee Mahäräja teaches, there are not too many sweet Leeläs revealed by ShreeRäma and ShreeShiva Rüpas, as compared to THE LEELÄ PURUSHOTTAM BHAGAVÄN SHREEKRSHNA!

but one thing that should never be simultaneously forgotten is that Bhagavän ShreeKrshna's is the ÄdiRüpa, the Original Rüpa, where as the same Bhagavän takes another (apparently different Rüpa), for different principle functions.
