Sri Nityanda Trayodasi celebrated

Sri Raman Vihari Gaudiya Matth in New Delhi, celebrated Sri Nityanda Trayodasi, the appearance day celebration of Lord Nityananda on 12^th Feb 2014. Lord Nityananda (also known as Nityananda Prabhu, Nitai, Nityananda Balarama) appeared as Lord Chaitanya’s principal associate for spreading the Congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord. He especially spread the holy name of the Lord throughout Bengal. He is  Lord Balaram himself.

Lord Nityananda is the eternal associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Rarely is the name Nimai (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) taken without that of Nitai (Lord Nityananda). Mahaprabhu cannot be approached or understood without the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, who is the cardinal guru of all the universes and serves as an intermediary between Mahaprabhu and His Devotees. He is the Lord’s active principle in both creation and lila. He is the second body of the Lord, manifesting as Balaram to Shri Krishna, Lakshman to Shri Ram and Nityananda Prabhu to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. All other forms and expansions of the Lord emanate from this second body.
