Lord GauraSundar is the embodiment of bothRadha and Krishna together.He is in fact SriKrishna Himself who has taken the mood and complexion of SriRadhika.So much so, that the golden complexion of Srimati assumes itself strikingly in His demeanour.In fact, both internally and externally the personality of Srimati Radhika is dominent in His personality. In contrast, Gadhadhar Pandit exhibits solely the loving moods of Srimati Radhika.This evidence is in the Gauraganodhesa Dipika(sankhya 157 ) by Kavikaranapur;
athava bhagavan gaura svachhaya gatrirupatam---By his independent and omnipotent will ,Sri GauraSundar has manifested in three different forms ,first as Krishna Himself, next in the form of SriRadhika and and lastly also in the form of Lalita.Srimati Radhika has manifested again as Gadhadhar Pandit to exhibit her various moods and loving reciprocation.However,in this context, there is no question of conjugal love etween SriGauranga and GadhadharPandit.They are close associates as Lord Gauranga also becomes also overwhelmed with the mood of Radhika and similiarly,He is always in the apparent search for Krishna.Gadhadhar likewise is the most helpful associate in fulfilling that search for the beloved as those types of loving moods of separation of Gauranga indicate.Still,sometimes we may tend to view the worship of Gaura-Gadhadhar as that of the Supreme Lord with His internal energy. The best way to look at it is simply Lord Sriman Mahaprabhu is Lord Krishna himself with the internal mood and complexion of Srimati Radhika while Sri Gadhadhar Pandit only appeared to illustrate the loving moods of Radhika but not in complexion or form.Unfortunately, due to overlapping of mellows(rasabhasa) in this issue, many non bonafida sampradayas(disciplic lines) have come into existence like the GauraNagaris and others.
