Nityananda Trayodasi
The
thirteenth day of the month of Magha is the
appearance day of Lord Nityananda, the associate of
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

He is known to be the most merciful, even more merciful than Lord Caitanya. When the evil brothers, Jagai
and Madhai, attacked Lord Nityananda

and Madhai changed their lives and became devotees of
Lord Caitanya. In addition, Lord Nityananda
is known for “selling” the Holy Name for the price of one’s love and faith. He

from the Caitanya Caritamrta
or Nityananda Caritamrta.
