Lord Siva

 

Information – Lord Siva is the topmost Vaisnava. In Navadvipa Mandala, Lord Siva is worshipped as kshetrapala or guardian of the holy dhama.

When King Bhagīratha approached Lord Śiva and requested him to sustain the forceful waves of the Ganges, Lord Śiva accepted the proposal by saying, “Let it be so.” Then, with great attention, he sustained the Ganges on his head, for the water of the Ganges is purifying, having emanated from the toes of Lord Viṣṇu.
(SB 9.9.9)

The most powerful Lord Śiva says: O Supreme Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You in Your expansion as Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa. You are the reservoir of all transcendental qualities. Although You are unlimited, You remain unmanifest to the nondevotees.
(SB 5.17.17)

Lord Śiva is always benevolent toward all living entities. When he saw that the living entities were very much disturbed by the poison, which was spreading everywhere, he was very compassionate.
(SB 8.7.36)

My dear gentle wife Bhavānī, when one performs benevolent activities for others, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, is very pleased. And when the Lord is pleased, I am also pleased, along with all other living creatures. Therefore, let me drink this poison, for all the living entities may thus become happy because of me.
(SB 8.7.40)

Thereafter, Lord Śiva, who is dedicated to auspicious, benevolent work for humanity, compassionately took the whole quantity of poison in his palm and drank it.
(SB 8.7.42)

In Śrī Śaila Lord Śiva and his wife Durgā lived in the dress of brāhmaṇas, and when they saw Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they became very pleased. Lord Śiva, dressed like a brāhmaṇa, gave alms to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and invited Him to spend three days in a solitary place. Sitting there together, they talked very confidentially.
(CC Madhya 9.175-176)

Information – Siva-linga: Lord Siva is under this tree in the form of a large linga known as Kṣetra-pala. One day, when ISKCON first took over the temple, the pūjāri was making an offering to Lord Jagannatha. He pushed aside this stone with his leg thinking it was an ordinary stone. Immediately after doing that he developed a heavy headache and began vomiting. He cycled back to ISKCON but was so sick and weak he collapsed and fell off the bike a number of times. At ISKCON he was advised to return, worship the linga, and beg forgiveness for this offense. He did that and was immediately cured.
It is quite cool in this area and one day in the summer of 1994, a pūjāri came here to get relief from the midday heat. While resting he had a dream in which he saw a male figure like Lord Siva. This person asked the pūjäri for something to drink saying, “I am very dry and thirsty. You should at least give me some milk to drink.” The pujari woke up and saw the the sila was indeed very parched and dry. Since then the devotees offer this Śiva-linga milk, tilaka, and bael leaves every day.
