Nityananda!Gauranga!
Shrilla Bhaktivinoda
Thakura explained in Shri Navadvipa Mahatmya that even great Siva, who is -
vaishnava yatha sambu - best and topmost vaishnava is always chanting the name
of Lord Gauranga:
"To the west of the
Alakananda River see Kasi, where the followers of Siva and his consort endeavor
for liberation. This Navadvipa Kasi, however, is superior to the other Kasi.
Here, Siva is always dancing and chanting the name of Gaura, begging his
followers to accept gaura-bhakti. The sannyasis who live for a thousand years
in Kasi may attain liberation through the cultivation of jnana, but here the
devotees kick away that liberation as they dance and chant the name of
Gauranga. While leaving the body here, living entities are delivered by Lord
Siva, who chants the name of Gauranga in their ears. This dhama is thus called
Maha-Varanasi, for here there is no fear of death.'
At that moment Nityananda
Prabhu began dancing, and He asked Jiva to accept gaura-prema. Invisible to
everyone, Siva came forward arid bowed at Nityananda's lotus feet. Lord Siva
and his consort, Gauri, achieved all their desires by always singing the name
of Gauranga."
from Shri Navadvipa
Mahatmya, Chapter Eight
Shrilla Bhaktivinoda
Thakura here specifically wrote that Siva is chanting the name of Gauranga and
that he together with his consort Gauri achieved all desires by singing the
name of Gauranga! Holy names of Nityananda and Gauranga are wonderful touch
stones and simply by chanting them
regularly all our desires can be fulfilled.
Nityananda! Gauranga!

Nityananda! Gauranga!
Hare Krishna! Shiva also initiated his consort Parvati devi in the Gauranga
Mantra, who then came to Simantadvipa and chanted Gauranga's Name while
meditating on His golden form. And very soon she saw the most enchanting Lord
Gauranga standing before her as Gauranga Naam bhajana is very easy and results
are easily obtained.
