"Jiva Goswami has explained this; [Cc. adi 1.5]. Radha and Krishna,
they are one, but for pastimes they have become
two. Again they unite as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu."
(Lecture, 5 October 1976.)
"Krishna divided Himself into His energy and Himself.
That original spiritual energy is Radharani. That is
stated by Jiva Goswami. When Krishna wants pleasure,
he cannot accept the inferior energy. The same
superior energy, Krishna, is divided into two. That is
Radha and Krishna. And again, when they unite, that
is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Divided they are Radha and
Krishna, and united they are Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
sri-krsna-caitanya rädhä-krsna nahe anya — anya
means another. So Sri Krishna Chaitanya is the
combination of Radha and Krishna. And when they are
divided into two, they are Radha and Krishna. This is
the purport. These are the conclusions. Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu is Radha and Krishna combined. Krishna
