Re: Lord Shiva the greatest Vaishnav
Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! Here, adoring means accepting the glories of Lord Shiva as the greatest Vaishnava and the gunaavatara and begging for his mercy to directly approach Lord Gaura Krishna. It means that unless we accept the glorious position of Lord Shiva, we cannot approach His Lord and Master. It does not necessarily mean full-fledged and exclusive worship of Lord Shiva before approaching Lord Gaura Krishna. We can simultaneously adore Lord Shiva while directly worshiping the Supreme Lord Gaura Krishna. Shiva Tattva is included in the Vaishnava Bhakti Tattva.
Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
