Laying the Cornerstone – A Divine Project Begins!

Laying the Cornerstone – A Divine Project Begins!

The foundation stone has been laid for a historic new temple in Birnagar, the birthplace of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur!

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, born Kedarnath Datta, was a revered saint, scholar, and pioneer of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. A distinguished High Court judge in Jagannath Puri, he was also a deep devotee whose life was dedicated to reviving and spreading the teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Among his many contributions, he was the first to present the profound philosophy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism to the English-speaking world, thus planting the seeds of Krishna consciousness far beyond the borders of India.

He was the father of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, who later became the founder of the Gaudiya Math and the spiritual master of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.

Bhaktivinoda Thakur boldly envisioned a future where devotees from around the world—regardless of birth or background—would chant the holy names in unity. Srila Prabhupada took this vision to heart and fulfilled it by carrying the Sankirtan movement across continents, establishing Krishna consciousness in every major city of the world.

In deep connection to this legacy, Srila Prabhupada expressed a strong desire to see a beautiful temple rise at the very birthplace of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur. He once said:

"I wish that a nice temple be constructed there [in Birnagar] and a well-equipped library and Bhaktivinoda Memorial Hall be established."
Srila Prabhupada, Letter to Bhavananda, 14 August 1976

This dream is now beginning to manifest.

From the 12th to the 13th of April, thousands of devotees joined in a grand procession to Birnagar. On the 13th, a sacred Bhumi Puja ceremony was held to invoke auspiciousness and seek blessings for the successful completion of this cherished project.

By Krishna’s mercy and the blessings of our acharyas, a new temple will now be built—one that will glorify the life and teachings of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur and fulfill the heartfelt desire of Srila Prabhupada.

The Divine Appearance Day of Lord Ramachandra!

The Divine Appearance Day of Lord Ramachandra!

On this most auspicious day of Sri Ram Navami, the appearance day of Lord Ramachandra, we send you our heartfelt blessings and warm greetings from Sri Mayapur Dham. 

Here in Mayapur, the celebration began early with a blissful Darshan Arati of Lord Ramachandra, where devotees beheld His divine form, beautifully decorated and glowing with love. During Srimad Bhagavatam class, we heard about His glorious leelas, including the story of how He crossed the ocean to rescue Mother Sita – a perfect example of divine love, courage, and dharma.

After the bhoga offering, lovingly prepared by our Mayapur community devotees, we had flower puspanjali and kirtans that echoed the glories of Lord Rama. The temple filled with the sound of "Jaya Sita Rama!" as we offered our prayers and songs.

Later today, the celebration continues with a vibrant procession of Lord Ramachandra, accompanied by Harinama Sankirtan throughout the ISKCON campus, spreading divine joy and blessings to all.

Here is a small pastime from the Srimad-Bhagavatam, beautifully describing Lord Ramachandra's character:

“Although Lord Ramacandra knew that Ravana was the very form of lust, He still kept His promise and behaved just like an ordinary human being. He could have killed Ravana in an instant, but instead, He chose to follow the codes of chivalry and righteousness. Thus, He taught by His own example that one should uphold dharma even in the face of difficulty.”

(SB 9.10.20, Purport)

81st Vyasa Puja of the Divine Twins!

After a long time, we once again had the joy of celebrating the divine twins, HG Jahnanivas Prabhu and our beloved Sripad Pankajanghri Prabhu, just as we always have in the past. This year, on the 19th, the atmosphere was nothing short of blissful—filled with heartfelt offerings, cherished memories, and the ever-present mercy of Sri Sri Radha Madhava as we celebrated their 81st Vyasa Puja!

Seeing the radiant smile of HG Jahnanivas Prabhu was a sight that warmed every heart. It was as if the love and devotion of his dear twin, HG Pankajanghri Prabhu, were still shining through him, reminding us all that their service, their dedication, and their bond transcend time. Their presence—one seen and one unseen—was deeply felt, and their legacy of pure devotion continues to inspire us all.

Sri Navadvipa-dhama & Nine Process of devotional service

In all nine of those islands of the Navadvīpa area there are different places for cultivating devotional service. It is stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 7.5.23) that there are nava-vidha bhakti, nine different activities of devotional service:

śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam
arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ sakhyam ātma-nivedanam

There are different islands in the Navadvīpa area for cultivation of these nine varieties of devotional service. They are as follows: (1) Antardvīpa, (2) Sīmantadvīpa, (3) Godrumadvīpa, (4) Madhyadvīpa, (5) Koladvīpa, (6) Ṛtudvīpa, (7) Jahnudvīpa, (8) Modadruma-dvīpa and (9) Rudradvīpa. (CC Adi 13.30 purport)

Shantipur Festival 2025!

Shantipur Festival 2025!

A day to be treasured!

After accepting sannyasa, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, overwhelmed with Krishna-prema, set out towards Vrindavan. However, by the arrangement of Nityananda Prabhu, He was instead guided to Shantipur, where He stayed at the home of Advaita Acharya.

News of His arrival spread quickly, and devotees from Navadvipa and surrounding areas rushed to see Him. Saci Mata, His beloved mother, also came. Seeing her son with a shaved head and the robes of a renunciant, she was heartbroken but knew that this was His divine calling. The meeting between mother and son was filled with deep emotion. Mahaprabhu offered His respects and assured her that though He had taken sannyasa, He was still her son.

At the request of Saci Mata, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu agreed to make Jagannath Puri His residence. She reasoned that Puri was close enough that she could receive news of Him through the traveling devotees. Out of love and devotion for His mother, He accepted her wish.

During His stay in Shantipur, Mahaprabhu revealed His divine form as Krishna to Advaita Acharya and the devotees. Overwhelmed with ecstasy, they bathed in the Ganges together, singing and dancing in kirtan. The entire village was immersed in the waves of devotion. Even those who had never chanted before were swept up in the divine energy of Mahaprabhu’s presence.

It is also in Shantipur that the disappearance day of Madhavendra Puri, the spiritual master of Advaita Acharya and Isvara Puri, is observed with great reverence. Mahaprabhu glorified Madhavendra Puri as the root of Krishna-prema in the Gaudiya Sampradaya. It is said that anyone who honors prasadam on this auspicious day receives the special mercy of Govinda and can attain pure love for Krishna.

Gaura Purnima Festival Update

The blissful and heartwarming Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama came to an end yesterday. But in Krishna consciousness, nothing truly ends. Every day is filled with festivals, kirtan, and opportunities for service, and as we continue the Gaura Purnima celebrations, the mercy only increases.

On March 9th, we had a special event in honor of International Women’s Day—the first-ever Savitri Awards, celebrating the Vaishnavis of Sridham Mayapur. It was a beautiful gathering, graced by the presence of many senior devotees and well-wishers, including HH Jayapataka Swami, HG Brajavilas Das, and HG Subheksana Das. Our guest speakers, HG Atitaguna Mataji, Yasomati Mataji, and HG Rucitambar Mataji, shared their wisdom and encouragement, making the occasion even more special.

After an uplifting session of kirtan and katha, the awards were presented by HH Jayapataka Swami. Among the recipients was HG Nayatri Mataji, who has been dedicated to mala seva for the deities and has served tirelessly in the guesthouse kitchen for over sixteen years. HG Rasesvari Mataji, who arrived in Mayapur in 1991, has been managing the accounts for TOVP, overseeing the administration of the Sri Mayapur International School, cooking for HH Jayapataka Maharaj, and teaching at the Mayapur Institute. So many wonderful Vaishnavis were honored for their years of unwavering service, and it was truly inspiring to witness.

And now, as one festival comes to a close, another beautiful one is about to begin. Tomorrow is the Shantipur festival, one of the most cherished celebrations of Gaura Purnima. Devotees will travel to the sacred home of Madhavendra Puri, where prasadam distribution takes place on a grand scale. Huge pots of steaming khichuri, fresh sabjis, sweets, and butter will be lovingly prepared and served to everyone, just as it was done centuries ago. No one leaves hungry, and for a moment, it feels as if the whole world is being nourished by Krishna’s mercy. Devotees sing, dance, and listen to Hari-katha, completely absorbed in the joy of service.

There’s something truly special about this festival—the kindness, the generosity, the spirit of devotion. Whether attending in person or remembering it from afar, the heart naturally fills with gratitude. And for those who contribute to the prasadam distribution on this sacred day, the blessings they receive are immeasurable. By serving others, we serve Mahaprabhu directly, and the mercy that flows from this seva is beyond imagination.

Thousands of pilgrims and Dham vasis will be there, and the opportunity to take part in this service is open to all. It’s a rare chance to receive unlimited blessings through the simple yet profound act of feeding others. If your heart feels inspired, don’t miss this chance to be part of something so meaningful.

75th Vyasa Puja: HH Bhakti Tirtha Swami!

75th Vyasa Puja: HH Bhakti Tirtha Swami!

7th March was a memory to behold!

It has been many years since the Vyasa Puja of His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami Maharaj in Mayapur, yet each time it arrives, it feels just as fresh, powerful, and deeply moving. Falling within the sacred festival season of Gaura Purnima, Maharaj’s Vyasa Puja always carries an extra touch of auspiciousness, making it an occasion of boundless mercy and inspiration.

One of the most distinct and beautiful aspects of each Vyasa Puja is how every year carries its own special theme—almost as if orchestrated by Maharaj himself. This year was no exception. Again and again, the sweet pastimes shared reminded us of Maharaj’s extraordinary magnetism—how he drew people toward Krishna with an irresistible force of love, wisdom, and transcendental energy. It is undeniable that his presence continues to expand, touching more and more souls, even in his spiritual absence. He once said he would be even more present after his departure, and every year, his words prove true.

From the kirtan at the Vaishnava Samadhi to the courtyard of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, and then back to the venue near the Samadhi, every moment carried Maharaj’s signature energy—alive, pulsating, and drenched in mercy. The sound vibrations of the Holy Name filled the air, reminding us of how he would leap high in the air, lost in pure devotion, dancing for the pleasure of the Lord.

The Vyasa Puja offerings were nothing short of heart-melting. Godbrothers, disciples, well-wishers, and devotees shared memories and realizations that brought tears to our eyes, warmth to our souls, and laughter to our hearts. It was a festival of love— a memory of the deep imprint Maharaj left on this world. Truly, he is a Black Lotus—rare, profound, and unforgettable. Though we wish he were physically present, we know he was called to serve elsewhere by the divine will of Krishna.

We were blessed to hear from esteemed speakers, including His Holiness Kavicandra Swami, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, His Holiness Bhakti Dhira Swami, His Holiness Bhakti Vasudev Swami, His Holiness Narasimha Swami, His Holiness Charudeshna Swami, His Grace Atul Krishna Prabhu, His Grace Hari Sauri Prabhu, His Holiness Srivas Maharaj, His Grace Sikhi Mahiti Prabhu, Her Grace Saci Mataji, Her Grace Sridevi Mataji, and many others who shared their heartfelt offerings.

The celebration concluded with puspanjali and arati, followed by an electrifying kirtan led by His Holiness Bhakti Dhira Damodar Swami, and finally, a wonderful feast of prasadam!

Indeed, it was a day overflowing with nectar, blessings, and the sweet remembrance of our beloved Maharaj.

His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami Maharaj ki JaI!

The Divine Journey Begins

The Divine Journey Begins

Sri Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama!

On the 27th of February, we also celebrated the auspicious appearance of a great Vaishnava devotee of the Lord—Shiva Ratri. Lord Shiva, the greatest Vaishnava, is always immersed in the glorification of Lord Krishna, chanting His holy names and showering mercy upon those who seek devotion. His unparalleled devotion reminds us of the true essence of surrender—complete love and dedication to the Supreme Lord.

As if the blessings of Lord Shiva were paving the way, the grand Kirtan Mela that concluded yesterday, the 1st of March, was nothing short of divine ecstasy! It was not just about singing the names of the Lord, but about feeling each sacred vibration resonate deep within our hearts. To be in the presence of such exalted Vaishnavas, Gurus, and Sannyasis, whose ecstatic chanting brought the Holy Name to life, was a gift beyond words. Every Kirtaniya poured their heart into the singing, making the experience even more special. It was a celebration of love, devotion, and unity, a melody that will forever echo in our hearts. Oh, how these sacred days will be missed!

And now, the transcendental wave continues! Sri Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama has officially begun with its Adhivasa celebration yesterday, welcoming thousands of devotees, pilgrims, and guests from all corners of the world to the holy land of Sri Dham Mayapur. The very air is filled with devotion, as Sri Mayapur Dham, the Kirtan Hub of the World, embraces an overwhelming flood of visitors and locals, all eager to bathe in the mercy of the Holy Name and the sacred dust of this land.

Today marks the first day of Sri Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama! Devotees will set forth on this sacred journey according to their respective groups—International, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. The places to be visited are linked below according to your group, so be sure to follow along and immerse yourself in the transcendental pastimes of the Dham!

Today was a sight to behold—the flag rising high, petals showering down, and the voices of great souls like His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, HH Lokanath Swami, HH Kavicandra Swami, HH Bhakti Purushottama Swami, HG Rameswar Prabhu, HG Braja Vilasa Prabhu, HG Anuttama Prabhu, HG Jananivas Prabhu, and many senior Prabhupada disciples reminding us of the deep significance of these sacred celebrations. As the Kirtan Mela begins tonight with the Adhivas Celebration, the entire atmosphere is brimming with devotion, anticipation, and transcendental joy. Shravan Utsava may have just concluded, but the nectar continues to flow as devotees from all over the world arrive, immersing themselves in katha, kirtan, and seva.

Meanwhile, the GBC meetings are still underway, shaping the future of our spiritual movement.But amidst all of this, one of the most sacred journeys awaits you—the Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama!

This is not just a pilgrimage; it is an invitation to walk the very land where Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed His divine pastimes. It is an opportunity to hear, chant, and remember in the association of exalted Vaishnavas, visiting the nine sacred islands that hold the essence of bhakti.

Registration is ongoing! If you haven’t yet signed up, this is your moment to be part of this life-changing yatra. Let your heart be drawn to the dhama. Let your soul walk where Mahaprabhu walked.

Sravana Utsav Begins!!!

Sravana Utsav Begins!!!

Srila Prabhupada deeply desired that many people—his disciples, senior preachers, well-wishers, and in fact, the entire world—come to Mayapur. Not just for a visit, but to be here during Gaura Purnima, a time when the air is filled with mercy. Just by being in the Dham, hearing, chanting, and immersing yourself in devotional service, you can feel the special blessings that flow so freely in this sacred place where Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu began His mission to spread Krishna-prema far and wide.

This time of the year is truly special—every step in Mayapur feels like walking in Vaikuntha. The Darshan of the deities is even more heartwarming, and many revered swamis gather here, making the atmosphere even more uplifting.

What better place to be than in Mayapur? And what better time than Gaura Purnima?
