Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guru & Gauranga.
Hare Krishna
I have read that Lord Caitanya is the mixture of Sri Radha and Krishna.
I have also read that Sripad Gadadhara is Srimati Radhika/Lalita Devi.
Since Lord Caitanya is simultaneously Radha & Krishna, shouldn't we just direct all of our attention to Him instead of praying to Him and Gadadhara?
Please forgive my offenses in asking this question. I just want to make devotional service very clear.
Hopefully this will help another devotee in their spiritual endeavors.
Gaura Hari Bol
Your Servant,
Bhakta David

lord chaitanta is not a mixture of Radha and Krsna. he is Krsna only with the mood and complexion of Sri Radharani.Prabhupada writes that we must not try to approach RadhaKrsna directly but through the service of Sri Sri Nitai Gaur chandra . only by their mercy we can understand radhakrsna . as narottam das thakur prays in his bhajan
nitāi-pada-kamala, koṭi-candra-suśītala
je chāyāy jagata jurāy
heno nitāi bine bhāi, rādhā-kṛṣṇa pāite nāi
dṛḍha kori' dharo nitāir pāy
se sambandha nāhi jā'r, bṛthā janma gelo tā'r
sei paśu boro durācār
nitāi nā bolilo mukhe, majilo saḿsāra-sukhe
vidyā-kule ki koribe tār
ahańkāre matta hoiyā, nitāi-pada pāsariyā
asatyere satya kori māni
nitāiyer koruṇā habe, braje rādhā-kṛṣṇa pābe
dharo nitāi-caraṇa du'khāni
TRANSLATION
1) The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
2) Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him?
3) Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, oh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don't care. The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth. If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krsna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krsna. Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
4) The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy. My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet.
this should be our mood.

Hare Krishna David Prabhu,
Please Accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurunga.
Please forgive me and my offenses if any of my word is not correct.
As Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is himself Lord Krishna but has taken the Bhava (emotions) of Srimati Radha Rani to just feel the pleasure of what Radha Rani feels about Lord Krishna. And Sri Gadadhar Pandit is Srimati Radha Rani but asking Lord Chaitanya to give her emotions back.
Hari Bol !

very correct answer navpreet pr

There are unlimited quantities of Jivas and each of them has desire to see Lord in a particular Form. According to their desires Krishna also has unlimited kinds of Forms.
There are main 4 parampara lines.
We are in Sri Goudiya Brahma Sampradaya. (or how to call it?)
And our Guru Parampara advices us to worship to Lord Goura Sundara and Nitay Chandra. Because They are immensely merciful. They do not look whether we are sinner or dog eater, mlechha or yavana, man or woman, animal or a human...They just give mercy unconditionally.
They are intoxicated Gods. They do not discriminate people but accept them if they just start to chant the Holy Names of Krishna.
because of that for me it is better to go to Them rather than directly to Lord Krishna...because i am not qualified.
Your servant,
