“May Sri Nityananda Rama be the object of my constant remembrance. Sankarsana, Sesa Naga and the Visnus who lie on the Karana Ocean, Garbha Ocean and ocean of milk are His plenary portions and the portions of His plenary portions.”Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi, 1.7
With his seventh mangala verse, Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami begins a five verse glorification and explanation of Nityananda-tattva, the metaphysical and ontological status of Sri Caitanya’s other self. Here we learn that the one God, svayam bhagavan, Sri Krsna, manifests in two bodies, not as sakti and saktiman, but as a plenary expansion of himself, thus making for a second, delegated saktiman or energetic source through whom many tasks are accomplished. In this case, Krsna expands and expresses himself as Balarama (Rama) and this same Balarama appears with Gaura Krsna as Nityananda-rama.
