In the Yogapitha, Ksetrapäla Siva, the protector of the dhäma, is
eternally worshipped. He is also known as Sri Gopisvara, and
he bestows service to the dhäma. Pure devotees who perform
their worship in accordance with the followers of Srila Rüpa
Gosvämi (the sri-rüpänugas) honour Ksetrapäla ÇSiva as
Gopisvara Siva, and pray to him
for eternal service to Sri
Gaurasundara that is devoid of
material attributes. Sri Gaura is the
embodiment of rasaräjamahäbhäva,
the combined form
of Rädhä and Krsna. Gopisvara
Siva’s praanama-mantra is:
vrdävanävani-pate! jaya soma! soma-maule!
sanaka-sanandana-sanätana-näradeya
gopisvara! vraja-viläsi-yugäìghri-padme
prema prayaccha nirüpädhi namo namas te
O gatekeeper of Vrndävana! O Soma, all glories to you! O you
whose forehead is decorated with the moon, and who is
worshipful for the sages headed by Sanaka, Sanandana,
Sanätana and Närada! O Gopisvara! Desiring that you bestow
upon me prema for the lotus feet of Sri Rädhä-Mädhava, who
perform joyous pastimes in Vraja-dhäma, I offer obeisances
unto you time and again.
Close to Ksetrapala Siva is a temple of Sri Nrsimhadeva, who
destroys obstacles on the path of devotion, and nearby are the
deities of Sri Gaura-Gadädhara.
