[mangalavara]

Mangalavara, is it a Sanskrit poem? If so give me the link. (Well, it could be your own creation)

It was created right then and there by yours truly.

JustGeorge, you may have heard about Krishna's Rasa-leela. He danced with many gopis wherein he manifested himself many times so that each gopi got to dance with him. Lord Shiva wanted to participate in this dance. Since it was only for females, he transformed himself into a female form and went and danced with Krishna in Rasa-Leela. This form of Shiva is known as Gopeshwar Mahadev. There is a temple in Vrindavan where Shiva is in this form. Attaching picture. In Gaudiya tradition, he is one of the 5 main deities who can grant a person residence in Vrindavan. He is a guardian of the dham. My guru told me he is capable of granting a person residence in Goloka.

That is why I asked. I have come to know of the bent of your mind to certain extent.
