Answer by Swami Gaurangapada:

 

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Here the brother of Gada means the divine friend of Shri Gadadhara Pandita who is known as Gadai or Gada for short. Lord Gauranga is known Gadaira Gauranga or Gadadhara Prananatha because He is the most beloved Lord of Shri Gadadhara Pandita, who is Shrimati Radha Herself.
