Nityananda appeared prior to the advent of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the village of Ekachakri in Birbhum District, Bengal, to fulfil His desire of spreading the Holy Name all over the country and thus redeem the people from the worldly disasters. As a Divine child of his parents Hadaipandit and Padmavati Devi, Nityananda prabhu enacted all the infant Lilas of Sri Balarama and Lakshman to the great joy and astonishment of His parents, friends and relatives. At the age of twelve Sri Nityananda accompanied by a Vaishnava Sanyasi Lakshimpati Teertha of Madhwa Sampradaya, visited all the sacred shrines of India till his arrival at Vrindavan in his twentieth year. There he came to know of the grand Revelation of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in Navadweep. He hastened to Sri Mayapur and stayed at the house of Nandanacharya. Lord Gauranga fore-told His devotees that some Mahapurusa would visit Navadweep in a day or two. So after Nityananda has reached Navadweep Gauranga sent His devotees, Srivas and Haridas to search him but they found him nowhere. At last Gauranga Himself went in search of Him and found him in the house of Nandanacharya. By this He teaches us that without His own grace none could know Nityananda Prabhu, the veritable embodiment of Eternal Bliss. He is the fountain-head from whom the Mahabhagavata derive inner light.
