Only by His mercy can I touch even a drop of it.” – CC Adi 5.157 “The glories of Lord Nityananda's transcendental attributes are unfathomable. Even Lord Sesa with His thousands of mouths cannot find their limit.” CC Adi 5.234 Caitanya Bhagavata “I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Nityananda Raya, for He is my worshippable Lord. By His mercy the glories of Lord Caitanya become manifest.” – Adi 1.11 “There is no one more dear to Lord Caitanya than Nityananda, therefore Lord Caitanya always enjoys pastimes within Him.” – Adi 1.17 “Sri Krsna Caitanya is most satisfied with one who chants or hears the characteristics of Lord Nityananda.” – Adi 1.18 “Lord Nityananda is the dearmost object of Sri Caitanyacandra, therefore anyone who commits an offense at His lotus feet is vanquished.” – Adi 1.42 “Those who wish to cross the ocean of material existence and drown in the ocean of devotional service should worship Lord Nityananda.” – Adi 1.77 “By the mercy of Lord Nityananda the pastimes of Sri Caitanya will become manifest, because His tongue is the storehouse of Lord Caitanya’s glories.” – Adi 1.81 “No one can understand Lord Nityananda’s unlimited characteristics as He wanders about Mathura with ankle bells on His feet.” – Adi 1.176 “Whatever relationship Nityananda may have with Lord Caitanya, I still keep His lotus feet within my heart.” – Madhya 11.62 “Simply by the mercy of Nityananda one obtains devotional service of Visnu.
