Stories about Lord Nityananda

While Nityananda Prabhu and the devotees were traveling to Jagannatha Puri, Sivananda Sena managed the payment of tolls at different places. Lord Nityananda and the devotees were allowed to pass while Sivananda Sena remained back to pay. They entered a village, but no one but Sivananda Sena could arrange for them a place to stay. Nityananda Prabhu became hungry and upset that Sivananda was not there. When Sivananda Sena arrived, Nityananda Prabhu kicked him. Sivananda Sena was very pleased that he had been kicked by Lord Nityananda and he led Him to His residence. He said to the Lord, " My dear Lord, Your chastising me is Your causeless mercy. Who within the three worlds can understand Your real character? The dust of Your lotus feet is not attainable even by Lord Brahma, yet Your lotus feet have touched my wretched body." Then Nityananda Prabhu embraced Sivananda Sena with great love. -Excerpt from Chaitanya-charitamrita, Antya-lila 12.28-29
