Jayapataka Swami: Lord Nityananda is the original guru. To get access to Lord Caitanya, you need the mercy of Lord Nityananda. He is the most merciful. So, also, like in Jaipur, I saw in the Radha Govinda temple, they had two columns – on one column, there was a picture of Lord Caitanya, and the other column a picture of Lord Nityananda. And they said that Lord Caitanya was the Prema avatar, the love avatar and they said Lord Nityananda was something like mercy avatar. Lord Nityananda received the order and blessing from Lord Caitanya, to give out mercy. So He does that. So if you don’t get Lord Nityananda’s mercy, very hard to approach Lord Caitanya!
