Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.All Glories to Sri Gurudeva and Sri Gauranga.All Glories to the 6 Gosvamis of Vrindaban.Hare KrishnaI have read in many different places that Lord Caitanya is the combined form of Sri Sri Radha Krishna.I find it easier to look at and focus on one deity while I chant my rounds. The form I have been worshipping the most is the Sadbhuja form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.My question is, is the worship of Sriman Mahaprabhu equivalent to the worship of Sri Sri Radha Govinda?Please forgive me if I have made an offense unknowingly.Aspiring to be your Servant,Bhakta David

yes, Prabhuji to worship Lord Gouranga is equal to the worship of worshiping Radha Govinda.
You can find out Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami Maharaja's story about how he worshiped his Radha Raman Deity.
Maharaj started to cry that how he can leave the worship of Lord Chaitania and worship Radha Raman. Then Lord Radha Raman appeared as Lord Gouranga and told that I am the same with Rada Raman so You can worship Me.
hare krishna !! my humble pranAms to the bhagavan and bhagavathas
while devotees from the brahma-madhwa-gaudiya iskcon sampradaya consider sri chaitanya mahaprabhu as sri radha-krishna Himself and non-different, devotees of sri sampradaya, consider only sriman narayana and mahalakshmi as the primal father and mother, sri krishna and radha as avatAras and sri chaitanya mahaprabhu as a guru avatAr (not god). why is it so?
