A ll glories to Sri Navadvipa Dhama, the birth place of Harinama sankirtan!

Sri Caitaya Mahaprabhu said: “This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon.” Kali Yuga it is an hopeless age in all respects, chanting the Holy Name is the only means to achieve even material happiness!
HH Gaura Govinda Maharaj once said: “the Holy Name will give you everything…everything and in the end the Holy Name will give you Krsna Prema.”
Looking for the treasure of the Holy Name in a more deep way 8 thousand devotees from more than 50 countries come to Sri Mayapur Dhama every year to perform Sri Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama.

Navadvipa Parikrama is a walking of transformation, a heart changing experience for all of them, where the faith that only by Chanting Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, all my needs, all my desires and all what I have to fix in my life will get the maximum results.
A part from all the individual results, when so many devotees gather in this sacred land this is what happened: “By performing Sri Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama the whole world will be liberated” Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur. The power of the kirtan performing here affect the destiny of billions of living entities!

Parikrama first day was full of bliss, with all the devotees enchanted with kirtan, prasada and the astonishing beauty of Sri Navadvipa Dhama.

We were wondering in Godruma dvipa visiting the ancient deity of Lord Nrsimhadeva at Nrsimhapalli or Deva palli where in that time the demigods built beautiful houses around the Mandakini lake. Apart from that we went to Am grata where Mahaprabhu planted the mango seed, Suvarna Vihar, the site of the capital city of King Suvarna Sena, who later appeared as Buddhimanta Khan, an associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu who sponsored his Second Marriage with Vishnupriya.

HH Lokanatha Swami Maharaj gave the evening class followed by kirtan for the delight of all the devotees who staying in the camp.

We had our overnight at our own ISKCON land, named Prabhupada Nagar, a beautiful and huge peace of land acquired by the endeavours of HH Jayapataka Swami and ISKCON Mayapur management.
