You may notice when you look at the Caitanya-caritāmṛta in the paintings, that Prabhupāda commissioned certain paintings. Andne of them was of the Harinām-saṅkīrtan Party and the rāsa-līlā split screen. One is the rāsa-līlā, the other is Harinām-saṅkīrtan. The reason for that is that Kṛṣṇa-līlā and Caitanya-līlā are interchangeable. They're kind of like if you've ever seen one, I don't know if they have them down here in SLO, but there are reversible jackets. Have you ever seen a reversible jacket? You can wear it one side, and then you turn it around and it's like, Hey, you got a good jacket. The other way, it's a good jacket. The deeper you go into Caitanya leela, e. The deeper you go into Caitanya-līlā, you'll eventually come to Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa-līlā, and the deeper you go into Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa-līlā, the more you're going to come into Caitanya-līlā.

That theology is expressed at the very beginning:

rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād

ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau

caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptaṁ

rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalitaṁ naumi kṛṣṇa-svarūpam (CC Adi 1.5)

This explains how The Lord is eternally separated Himself into Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa for His own enjoyment, but now they've come back together again in Lord Caitanya. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says that by serving the feet of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, you become qualified to enter into Kṛṣṇa-līlā.

When Caitanya Mahāprabhu appears thousands of years later after Kṛṣṇa, He brings all His associates with Him. Just as you read in the Kṛṣṇa Book that when Kṛṣṇa is coming, it's called tat-priyārtham, meaning all these other exalted people should come with Him. When Kṛṣṇa appears, it's like a huge dramatic performance -His līlā, and He brings all the players with Him, each with their own roles. And when He comes again as Caitanya Mahāprabhu—because He is Svayam-Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa—He brings the same associates, only now they have different names and interactions with the Lord, although their interactions identify them as being the ones from before.
