Lord Nityananda

Lord Nityananda was instrumental in spreading the message of the sankirtan movement in Bengal. He is renowned for His mercy and for making pure love of God easily accessible to everyone through the chanting of the Holy names. He is very easy to approach:

"Simply by talking of Nityananda Prabhu one awakens one's love for Krishna." - Chaitanya-caritamrta.

"Sri Chaitanya said:"If anyone even once chants the name 'Nityananda' they will become purified and I will immediately accept that person as My own."'" - Caitanya Mangala.

You may like to listen to Srila Prabhupada singing the beautiful song "Nitai-pada-kamala" - the Lotus Feet of Lord Nityananda. And his description of the song (purport) here.
