Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guru & Gauranga.Hare KrishnaI have seen a deity of Sri Gauranga Gadadhara.I thought at first it was Sri Gaura Nitai. It looked beautiful and I read our Great Grandfather Acarya Bhaktivinoda Thakurji was in service of this wonderful deity.Please give me some explanation in the difference between worshipping the two different deities.Your confused servant,Bhakta David

All Glories to Sri Gurudeva , srila Prabhupad , all our Glorious acaryas and Lord GaurHari !
Worship of Sri Gaur Gadadhar is Worship of Sri Sri Radha Krsna directly ! Its in Madhurya Rasa ! and it requires lot of Maturity as well to understand this very fact. Because Sri Gaur Gadadhar are directly Sri Sri Radha Krsna , chances of committing offenses is always there.
Whereas Worship of Sri Gaur Nitai is worship of Sri Krsna Balarama. Its in Vatsalya Rasa ! and Lord Nityananda being very merciful forgives offenses.
Till the time of Srila Bhaktisiddhant saraswati Thakur , Worship of Sri Gaur Gadadhar was prominent. Like Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , even Sri Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur also used to worship Sri Gaur Gadadhar !!
Lord Nityanand never forgives a person who Envy Gadadhar Pandit and Gadadhar Pandit never forgives a person who Envy Lord Nityanand Raya
Srila A.C Bhaktivedant swami Prabhupad , our Beloved Grandfather started to worship Sri Gaur Nitai , so that gradually we understand what Bhakti is and gradually come to the level , where we understand Madhurya Rasa. dats why he also started Sri Sri Radha Krsna Worship as well !! we can understand this very fact from Srila Prabhupad's books.
i desire to Worship Lord Gaur - Gadadhar from the inner core of my heart !! plz pray for me prabhu
Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
yes Manitabh Prabhu is correct Lord CHaitayna Mahaprabhu is Krishna and Gadadhara Pandit is Srimati Radharani. But the service to Goura Gadadhara is even higher and strict then the service to Radha Krishna.
Only very elevated Devotees by the permission and blessings of Guru can worship Them.

gaura gadadhar is not different from radha krsna deity. actually gaur is krsna and gadadhar pandit is radharani
