It was Eru that sent Gandalf back, not any of the Valar...

I think this is either a mistake on the part of Tolkien, or a mistery left for the reader, because really no information is given to make any of our ideas more than guesses...

My guess is that the 3 Ring Bearers can sense each others presence, and maybe im wrong, but Elrond AND Galadriel both knew of Narya passing to Gandalf, so maybe thats how Galadriel knew Gandalf was awake....(just a guess)
