NityÄnanda Prabhu arranged for the VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ, and saį¹ kÄ«rtana was going on, but when He tried to put a garland on the shoulder of ÅrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, He saw Himself in Lord Caitanya.Ā There is no difference between the spiritual positions of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu and NityÄnanda Prabhu, or Kį¹į¹£į¹a and BalarÄma. All of Them are but different manifestations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. During this special ceremony, all the devotees of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu could understand that there is no difference between Lord Caitanya and NityÄnanda Prabhu.
