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.
