Balarama, Radharani,Krishna.

Q. What is the relationship between Lord Nityananda's mercy and Radha-Krishna lila?

1) Balarama has so much love for His younger brother's premaka Srimati Radhika--more than Revati. Balarama supplies whatever Radhika desires without Her asking. They never speak with one another but there is great love between them. Baladeva treats Radhika as a daughter. So, if anyone wants the seva of Srimati Radhika He can surely give.

2) As Baladeva He cannot associate with Radhika. For this he becomes Ananga Manjari, the younger sister of Srimati Radhika and serves Her in all ways. She is near and dear to SR and head of all sakhis. If we want to serve SR we have to go through Ananga Manjari (Baladeva or Nityananda).

3) Srila Prabhupada is prakash-vigraha of Baladeva or Nityananda.

4) The Upanisads state that without the mercy no one can have pure bhakti for Radha and Krishna.

5) Baladeva expands Himself into all the paraphernalia of Krishna and Radhika. Krishna plays on flute (which is Baladeva) and calls all gopis including SR. Vrindavana is Baladeva. Radhika's body, her beauty, ornaments, and mood is Baladeva. For the pleasure of RK He has taken the shape of all these things. So, without Baladeva's mercy we cannot enter into Vrindavana or the mode of seva or anything.

6) Baladeva is Ram (enjoyment) in all potencies. He is our siksa guru.
