Both Lord Sri Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu acted in similar ways , but Krishna predominantly in Union with the residents of Vraja and Sri Caitanya in separation from them . Krishna also exhibited separation from Vraja in His Dwarka lila pastimes , but again, in His Kurukshetra lila , He met them all again .

In trancendental tattva in the highest trancendental realms, the two opposites meet .The Tattva of Union and separation are elaborately explained by all our Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.

When Krishna was carrying out lila pastimes , he danced in the forests of Vrndavana, He gave  counselling to the Pandavas , the residents of Vraja  and the residents of Dwarka,  and famously He gave counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu also carried out similar activities, giving counsel,  preaching and teaching Krishna consciousness within all kinds of society members from the greatest of the scholars of the day to the general public by His chanting and dancing that everyone could access . In the house of Srinivasa Acarya, deep meditative chanting behind closed doors where union and separation became one in esoteric Kirtan of the highest orders , spilt out into the towns and villages of Mayapur and in other parts of India , and the process of how to systematically advance in Krishna consciousness began to be taught to one and all . In Jagganath Puri towards the end of Mahaprabhu’s lila He exhibited the highest realms of the Vrndavana lilas by revealing  some of the glories of Srimati Radharani in Her moods of separation from Krishna , the Caitanya Caratamrita brings full details of the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Devotees of the highest order appeared with Mahāprabhu, as they did with Krishna .  So , both in Krishna lila in Union with the residents of Vraja and in separation within Mahāprabhu lilas in Mayapur and Jagganath Puri  , the devotees  exhibited these moods of Union and separation .

The current devotees follow Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and become absorbed in their preaching activities,  but who are they preaching about ?

Thus, the most advanced preachers are living in two lilas, the lila of Mahāprabhu in Mayapur and Puri and the Lila of Krishna and the residents of Vraja . The Acaryas have written on the daily activities of Krishna in Vraja and the daily activities of Mahāprabhu and demonstrated this union and separation tattva .
