 From Srila Prabhupada -- So we should not consider that Nityananda is different from Krsna, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, or Advaita Prabhu is different from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. But at the same time, They are different. This is inconceivable, a taste. If you worship Nityananda Prabhu, it is as good as to worship Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The best thing is... Because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in His five different features, therefore the acaryas, they worship all of them at a time. That is our prayer:
sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda
sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda
This is the varieties, transcendental varieties, different tastes. Nityananda Prabhu is guru-tattva, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu is sevya-tattva. The guru is teaching, Nityananda Prabhu is teaching how to worship Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This is Nityananda Prabhu's business -- " Krsna Is Ocean Of Pleasure " Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 7.5, Mayapur, March 7, 1974
