Nityananda (Bangla: শ্রী নিত্যানন্দ) (b 1474 CE) is famous as a Vaishnavite saint. His importance in Vaishnavism, and especially Gaudiya Vaishnavism in Bengal, is central. Nityananda was Chaitanya's friend, disciple and spiritual mate. They are often mentioned together as Gaura-Nitai (Gaura, "golden one", referring to Chaitanya) or Nimai-Nitai (Nimai referring to Chaitanya). Followers often refer to Nityananda as 'Sri Nityananda', 'Prabhu Nityananda' or 'Nityananda Rama'.
According to Gaudiya-Vaishnava tradition Sri Nityananda was an incarnation of Lord Balarama, with Chaitanya being his eternal brother and friend, Krishna. He is famous as being the 'most merciful' incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
