Meeting Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Nityananda Prabhu met Caitanya Mahaprabhu in 1506, when He was 32 years old and the Lord 20 years. It is said that when Nityananda Prabhu reached the land of Nadia, He hid in the house of Nandanacarya, to heighten the ecstasy of meeting through separation. Caitanya Mahaprabhu aware of the arrival of His eternal associate dispatched Haridas Thakur and Srivas Pandit to search out Nitai, but they failed. Finally unable to bear the separation any longer, Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself went directly to Nityananda Prabhu and the ecstasy of the meeting was so transcendental that every one witnessing it were awed by the sublime experience. A temple called Sri Gaura-Nityananda commemorates this meeting place in Nadia.

Taking Jiva Goswami on Navadvipa parikrama

Lord Nityananda took Jiva Goswami, one of the greatest devotees and philosophers of this age, on a circumambulation (called parikrama in Sanskrit) of Navadvipa dhama (the area surrounding Mayapur), the holy abode of Lord Caitanya. During this parikrama, Lord Nityananda spoke of the glories of the Lord's abode. When they approached Mayapur, Lord Nityananda, overwhelmed with ecstasy of love of Krishna, His Lord, spoke the following words to Jiva Goswami (Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya, Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Chapter 5.):

"When our Lord appears, by His desire the Ganges will swell. The Ganges water will almost cover Mayapur for a hundred years, and then the water will recede. For some time, only the place will remain, devoid of houses. Then again, by the Lord's desire, this place will become prominent, and people will live in Mayapur as before. All these ghats on the bank of the Ganges will again be manifest, and the devotees will build temples of the Lord. One exceedingly wonderful temple will appear from which Gauranga's eternal service will be preached everywhere."
