These following quotes are from Nityananda Caritamrta.

 

PASTIMES

Once Lord Caitanya personally distributed the caranamrta of Lord Nityananda with great jubilation. After drinking it, all the devotees went insane and chanted loudly, “Hari, Hari.” Someone said, “Today my life has become successful.” Another person said, “Today has been an auspicious day for me.” Another said, “The water that has washed the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda is very tasteful. In fact the sweetness on my mouth does not diminish at all.” Some devotees danced, some of them sung, while others shouted loudly. Then all the devotees happily started nama-sankirtana.

 

As Lord Caitanya’s pastimes are much more pleasing than Krsna’s pastimes, so Lord Nityananda’s pastimes are much more pleasing than those of Lord Balarama.

Lord Balarama was chastising the miscreants and killing the demons like Romaharsana Suta but in His form as Nityananda He never gets angry.

 

He constantly behaved like an ordinary child. He often danced, sang, played musical instruments and laughed to Himself. In the rainy season when the Ganges filled with fierce waves and crocodiles, Lord Nityananda fearlessly swam and floated in her waters absorbed in the mood of Ananta.

 

The most sober Nityananda, enraptured by love for Caitanya, became terribly agitated by seeing Lord Jagannatha, He wanted to embrace Him. The guard could not check Him. Suddenly climbing onto the golden throne, the guards tried to stop Him catching hold of His hand. Nityananda simply pushed them away. Nityananda took the garland of Lord Balarama and put in on Himself. The priests took garlands from Lord Jagannatha and happily offered them to devotees. Receiving Lord Jagannatha’s mercy in the form of the garlands, all the devotees were extremely pleased. They quickly returned to the house of Sarvabhauma.

Later the guards spoke in the following way: “We control even mad elephants, what to speak of ordinary man. We tried to firmly catch hold of Him, but instead, He scattered us like straws.” Considering this the temple guards always showed respect to Lord Nityananda whenever they sow Him. In His childish way, Nityananda Svarupa often embraced the Lord with loving affection.

 

Sometimes He would fall down unconscious in ecstasy and sometimes would remain so for three or four days.

 

The most pious Madhava Ghosha was expert in doing kirtana. There was no batter singer in the world. He was known as the singer of Vrndavana and was very dear to Lord Nityananda. As the three brothers Madhava, Govinda and Vasudeva began to sing, the Supreme Lord Nityananda Prabhu began to dance. When the most powerful Avadhuta Nityananda danced, it seemed like the earth shook with every step. Seeing His tottering dancing, people were struck with wonder. Sometimes He glanced on someone while dancing. That person would fall on the ground filled with love of God and transcendental mellows.

 

The devotees began to glorify Him and there arose a crying sound on all sides. Everyone raised their hands and exclaimed, “Save us!” They went into the rapture of Krsna prema.

Lord Nityananda, absorbed in His own blissful mood, glanced at everyone showering love of God, on them.

 

As Nityananda sat on the golden throne, all the associates continued to dance in front of Him. Someone climbed a tree, walked on the leaves, and yet did not fall down. Out of ecstasy, someone shouted loudly and jumped down from a tree. Someone roared like a lion and caught the root of the tree, pulling it out of the ground while chanting “Hari! Hari!” someone went to the forest of betel nuts and gathered five or six trees together due to love of God, he uprooted them all.

 

Lord Nityananda invested His energies in all His chief associates. They became omniscient; their words became perfect. They looked as beautiful as Cupid. Whomever they touched with their hands was overwhelmed with love of God and forgot everything.

For three months, all the devotees were lost in ecstatic trance. They stopped all bodily activities. They did not eat for three months. All they did was continuously dance in ecstatic bliss.

Dancing of only one of Nityananda’s servants flooded all the surroundings with krsna-prema. And anyone who came to see Lord Nityananda was immediately overwhelmed with krsna-prema. Such was the example of His distribution of love of God.

 

If a person as big as an elephant does not eat for three days, he will become weak and unable to walk. But when a child eats nothing for one month and acts like a lion, it is indeed the manifestation of Lord Nityananda’s mercy and energy.

 

Whether eating, sleeping, or traveling He did not waste a moment without doing nama-sankirtana. Wherever Nityananda did sankirtana and danced in ecstasy, especially after hearing the pastimes of Krsna in Vrandavana, He captivated hundreds of people

 

As soon as people saw the wonderful emotion of Nityananda Svarupa, they could not remain steady, but became overwhelmed.

What to speak of others, even Muslims naturally averse to Lord Visnu took shelter of Nityananda’s

lotus feet. When the brahmanas of Saptagram saw tears of love in the eyes of Muslims, they condemned themselves. All glories to Avadhuta Nityananda whose mercy makes these wonderful pastimes possible!

 

Once Nityananda Prabhu, the reservoir of transcendental pastimes, displayed His six-armed form in the courtyard of Suryadasa Pandita. His two upper hands held a bow and arrow, His two middle hands held a plough and a stick, and His two lover hands carried sannyasa danda and a water pot. His head was decorated with a crown and His ears were decorated with earrings. His entire body was radiant with jewels and ornaments. Seeing this form of the Lord, everyone fell at His feet. Pandita prayed to the Lord with folded hands. All the brahmnas gathered there were struck with wonder seeing this form of the Lord.

 

He constantly meditated on Lord Caitanya with His body, mind and speech. He always sung loudly the glories of Lord Caitanya. He remained in Khadadaha and sometimes He saw the Deity of Lord Syamasundara as Gauranga. Who can understand the glories of Lord Nityananda?

 

Please, chant Hare Krishna and be happy
