Panca-tattva

The Panca-tattva — five inconceivable, simultaneously one and different features of the Supreme Lord's descent in Kali-yuga: Sri Krishna Chaitanya (the Lord Himself, appearing as His own devotee), Sri Nityananda Prabhu (the Lord as guru-tattva), Sri Advaita Acharya (the Lord as devotee-incarnation), Sri Gadadhara Pandit (the Lord's energy) and Sri Srivasa Pandit (the pure devotee). They are worshipped together in the panca-tattva mantra recited before any Gaudiya Vaishnava kirtana.
