Hare Krishna.
Can any dear devotee here provide scriptural reference(s) where Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has instructed us to chant the name of Radha and Krishna?
Thank you.

Caitanya Bhagavata, Madhya 23.650/Madhya 23.76-78user [456] · 2009-10-17
Haribol!Thank you for the Cb. reference.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always in radha-bhava, always crying in separation from Krishna, just as Radharani cries in separation from Krishna, yet He instructs us to chant the names of both Krishna and Radha. Can you explain this at all?

Just a question. Does Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu chant the Holy name of Sri Radha in His Si Jagannath Puri Separation Lila or only in His Sri Navadwip Yuga Dharma Harinam Lila?The two lilas are quite distinct.

Yes, that sounds clear. Mahaprabhu spent the last 18 years of his manifested pastimes in Jagannath Puri, staying in that room Gambhira, feeling separation from Krishna. Crying in separation from Krishna. But when He was doing his acarya-lila, the mood was different. Interesting.
