In the Caitanya Caritamrita, Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami mentions two Gadadharas: one is Gadadhara Dasa, who is an expansion of Radharani, and the other is Gadadhara Pandita, Her direct manifestation.
In this age of Kali, Krsna appears as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Srimati Radhika appears as Gadadhara Pandita.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Pada explains in his grantha that Vrndavana has two hearts: one is Nidhivan and the other is Seva Kunja.
Song: Radha Nace Krsna Nace Nace Gopi Gan.
If you go to Vrndavana, everywhere you will see the footprints of Srimati Radharani.
All the trees and beings of Vrndavana sing Radhe Radhe.
A pastime in which Radharani has a dream, talks to Krsna and He explains about Sacinandana Gaurahari.
Krsna is only one, but He has many forms and many abodes.
In Gaura-dhama, Krsna manifests His Gaura-lila, coming in the dynasty of brahmanas and accepting sannyasa.
The reason for Mahaprabhu’s lila: Krsna wants to taste the prema that Srimati Radhika feels.
Love has two sides: meeting and separation.
Navadvipa is Gupta Vrndavana, therefore everything that exists in Vrndavana also exists in Navadvipa, but in a hidden form.
In Vrndavana, Krsna performs His rasa dance, and in Navadvipa, Krsna does nama-sankirtana-rasa-lila as Mahaprabhu.
Only certain types of gopis can participate in rasa-lila, but all can participate in the rasa-lila of chanting the Holy Names.
Krsna tells Radharani that She can only accompany Him in Mahaprabhu’s lila if She is in a male form.
Thus, Srimati Radhika comes as Gadadhara Pandita, taking birth very close to the house of Jagannatha Misra.
The very close relationship between Nimai and Gadhai.
There are two types of worship: Gaura Visnu Priya Upasana and Gaura Gadadhara Upasana.
Gaura Visnu Priya Upasana is in the mood of opulence and Gaura Gadadhara Upasana is in the mood of sweetness.
Therefore the Rasika-Vaisnavas worship Gaura Gadadhara.
