 From Srila Prabhupada -- When you speak of Sri Krsna Caitanya, we should understand immediately that He's Krsna in Radha's attitude, Radha-bhava. Krsna, Radha and Krsna, They are one; They are not different. Radha krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktir asmad [Cc. Adi 1.5]. Radharani is expansion of Krsna's pleasure potency. So Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna Himself, but the pleasure potency of Krsna is prominent in His activities. Because Krsna, in order to understand Himself, He took the position of Radharani to understand Himself. Personally He could not understand His potencies, but when He appeared as Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the attitude of Radharani's love for Krsna, krsna-prema, then He could fully understand Him. These are very intricate subject matter to understand, but this is the fact. -- "Stop Serving The Senses," Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 7.3, Mayapur, March 3, 1974
