"In the Adi-Lila, Tenth Chapter of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Srila
Kaviraja Gosvami has given a description of the many expansions of
the Caitanya tree, the branches and the sub-branches. So all these
very dear, intimate devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu they know
Gauranga mahaprabhu and they know Krsna. It is given in the Gaura-
ganoddesa-dipika how most of them were in Krsna-lila, Vraja-lila.
Most of them were sakhis, manjaris and some were in sakhya-rasa,
friendship, like this Abhirama. They have all taken part in both
krsna-lila and Gaura-lila. They are the associates of Krsna and the
associates of Gaura, because there is no difference between Gaura
and Krsna. Is there any difference? No. Krsna is Gaura and Gaura is
Krsna, so Krsna-lila is Gaura-lila and Gaura-lila is Krsna-lila. In
tattva they are the same. But... only one difference is there. In
Gaura the two bodies of Radha and Krsna are combined together, that
is the only thing, nothing else."
