Live Address from H.H Jayapataka Swami 2nd July 2021!

Hare Krishna dear Devotees, Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati reveals the secret of Navadvipa-dhama in his Navadvipa Satakam (verse 78):

aradhitam nava-vanam vraja-kananam te

naradhitam nava-vanam vraja eva dure

aradhito dvija-suto vraja-nagaras te

naradhito dvija-suto na taveha krsnah

“If you worship the nine islands of Navadvipa, you are actually worshiping Vrndavana and can easily gain entrance into that confidential place. If you don’t worship and take shelter of Navadvipa-dhama, Vrndavana will be very far away from you. If someone will worship dvija-suta (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu), the son of the brahmana Jagannatha Mishra, that person will attain vraja-nagara Sri Krsna in Vrndavana. If one worships Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is actually Krsna Himself, in Navadvipa, one is performing complete worship of Krsna. Worshiping Sacinanadana Gaurahari in Navadvipa is as good as worshiping Krsna in Vrndavana. If one does not worship dvija-suta Gaurahari, Lord Krsna will be very far away.”

Once in Vrindavana during Srila Prabhupada’s last days, he suddenly began to shed tears, lamenting that many of the old temples founded by Lord Chaitanya’s followers were giving way to ruin. He then expressed his desire to set up a trust to renovate these holy places. Lord Chaitanya had told the Goswamis of Vrindavana to rediscover the lost places of Lord Krishna’s Vrindavana pastimes. Later, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura found the place of Lord Chaitanya’s birth. Now Srila Prabhupāda wanted to renovate the pastime places of Lord Chaitanya and His personal associates in Gaura Mandala Bhumi. HH Jayaptaka Swami Maharaja is the life time chairman of Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust which has undertaken the task of this work.

On Friday the 2nd July 2021, at 8.30pm (IST) we will hear about the importance and urgency of these initiatives from
