Date- 8th March 2024 Speaker- Hayagriva Prabhu Theme- Glories of Navadvipa and Mayapur Dham Hare Krishna. Thank you very much. First of all, I want to offer my humble obeisances at the lotus feet of HH Lokanath Swami Guru Maharaj. While offering obeisances to all assembled devotees, I thank Padmamali Prabhu for giving me opportunity to speak on the glories of Mayapur Dham. I hope that with this association our hearts will get purified. So, in reality we have not yet entered in Dham because until the mind is in kama, lust, it cannot enter in Dham. So,we will just repeat the words of the glories of Navadvipa Dham or of Mayapur, the Antar-dvipa of Navadvipa Dham. We do not have bhava, but we should accept and listen the words of Acharyas with bhava, with devotion, and then Dham will manifest in our hearts. So, it is said that there is no difference between Vrindavan Dham and Navadvipa Dham. Gaura vrajavane bheda na dekhiba paiba brajabas, there is no difference. So, Lord Himself creates this Dham by His internal potency, Hladini sakti, that is Srimati Radharani. So Radharani Herself has created this Dham. This is the internal mood of Radharani; acquiring this mood Mahaprabhu manifested Himself in this Dham. anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau samarpayitum unnatojjvala-rasāṁ sva-bhakti-śriyam hariḥ puraṭa-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandīpitaḥ sadā hṛdaya-kandare sphuratu vaḥ śacī-nandanaḥ Translation: May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love. [CC Adi 1.4] So that Sachinandana who appeared in the womb of Sachimata, śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā kīdṛśo vānayaivā- svādyo yenādbhuta-madhurimā kīdṛśo vā madīyaḥ saukhyaṁ cāsyā mad-anubhavataḥ kīdṛśaṁ veti lobhāt tad-bhāvāḍhyaḥ samajani śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ Translation: Desiring to understand the glory of Rādhārāṇī’s love, the wonderful qualities in Him that She alone relishes through Her love, and the happiness She feels when She realizes the sweetness of His love, the Supreme Lord Hari, richly endowed with Her emotions, appeared from the womb of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī, as the moon appeared from the ocean. [CC Ādi 1.6] śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ, that Hari who destroys all types of miseries, and who attracts all living entities towards Him by giving them Prema bhakti, that Hari appeared from the womb of Sachi Mata which is like an ocean. śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ, and how is that Hari, He is like induh, the moon. The activities He performed in other millenniums are like paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge Translation: To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium. [BG 4.8] He is not performing these activities now. He provides coolness to everyone. Indu means the moon. So Lord appeared in the form of Gauracandra. He destroys sins and inauspiciousness of everyone and along with that unnata ujjvala-rasāṁ, which quenches the thirst; so there is thirst in Lord as well, same like the living entities. In fact that is the original thirst, kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ krīyatāṁ yadi kuto ’pi labhyate tatra laulyam api mūlyam ekalaṁ janma-koṭi-sukṛtair na labhyate Translation: ‘Pure devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot be had even by pious activity in hundreds and thousands of lives. It can be attained only by paying one price — that is, intense greed to obtain it. If it is available somewhere, one must purchase it without delay.’ [CC Madhya 8.70] kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā, the mellow is devotional service; only by this thirst can be quenched. In the Srimad Bhagavatam Sukadeva Goswami says nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalaṁ śuka-mukhād amṛta-drava-saṁyutam pibata bhāgavataṁ rasam ālayam muhur aho rasikā bhuvi bhāvukāḥ Translation: O expert and thoughtful men, relish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls. [ŚB 1.1.3] So, we need to drink this bhakti rasa and to provide this rasa Mahaprabhu appeared in the womb of Sachimata. śacī-garbha-sindhau, but this Sindhu, ocean is not of salty water. It is prema sindhu which is in the womb of Sachimata. About Navadvipa Dham it is said that it is like a lotus of eight petals. And the whorl of this lotus is Mayapur or Antar-dvipa which is non different from Mahavan. And this Navadvipa area represents nine types of devotional service. śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ sakhyam ātma-nivedanam iti puṁsārpitā viṣṇau bhaktiś cen nava-lakṣaṇā kriyeta bhagavaty addhā tan manye ’dhītam uttamam Translation: Prahlāda Mahārāja said: Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord one’s best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words) — these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service. One who has dedicated his life to the service of Kṛṣṇa through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge. [ŚB 7.5.23-24] So, the last type of bhakti, atmanivedanam, by which devotees gain eternal bliss, that is this Mayapur Dham. We can practice atmanivedanam here.In Antar-dvipa Brahmaji expressed his feelings, "I want that all living entities should be delivered", and he requested that "I committed big offence. I should have cooperated with You in Your pastime, but I placed obstacles in Your pastime. Your illusory energy is very powerful." Lord says is Bhagavad Gita daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te Translation: This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it. [BG 7.14] And only by this Maya this material world is created. tribhir guṇa-mayair bhāvair ebhiḥ sarvam idaṁ jagat mohitaṁ nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam Translation: Deluded by the three modes [goodness, passion and ignorance], the whole world does not know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible.[Bg. 7.13] Sub-theme: Dialogues between Brahmaji and Caitanya Mahaprabhu So, Lord's illusory energy enchants the conditioned souls. Brahmaji was also bewildered by this Maya. So Brahmaji prayed, "Lord You have taken many incarnations and have performed many pastimes, but in this Avatara I pray that I should not get bewildered by Your Maya. Give me birth in lower yoni, Yavan birth, so that I should not develop any kind of pride." So after hearing this prayer, Mahaprabhu expressed His heart that, "I too ...(Not clear)....”Which wealth Lord had not given until now? ....(Not clear).. bhakta-bhava laye bhakti-rasa asvadiba parama durlabha sankirtana prakasiba Translation: "'Taking the mood of a devotee, I will relish the rasa of devotion and reveal the most rare form of sankirtan.[Navadvipa Dham mahatmya chapter five -150] anya anya avatara-kale bhakta yata vraja-rase sabe mataiba kari' rata Translation: "'I will completely madden all the devotees of My previous Avatars with the rasa of Vraja.[Navadvipa Dham mahatmya chapter five -151] Nana avatare nana bhave bhakta yeite vrajanugata madhura rasate. So Mahaprabhu is saying that, in Vraja I reciprocated in various ways with different devotees, like dasya, sakhya, vatsalya,and madhurya, these four rasas were prominent in Vraja. So I will accept these four rasas because devotees relished those rasas, but I couldn't relish them, I couldn't experience them. Therefore, in Caitanya Charitamrita Krsnadas Kaviraj says āpani karimu bhakta-bhāva aṅgīkāre āpani ācari’ bhakti śikhāimu sabāre Translation: I shall accept the role of a devotee, and I shall teach devotional service by practicing it Myself. [CC Ādi 3.20] “I will accept the mood of a devotee. I will relish it and will distribute it in people. This wealth I had kept in treasure but now, karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau, in Kaliyuga causeless mercy is very important…” Therefore with the karunya, causeless mercy, which is in Srimati Radharani, that is more than the mercy of Sri Krsna. …(Not clear).. Ocean remains in its boundaries, but sometimes when Tsunami comes, ocean crossesits boundaries. So sindhu hari induh, this is sindhu, ocean, ocean of mercy. Living entities have lots of miseries. When material nature created this world, from that time living entity is struggling with Maya and facing lots of troubles. So seeing living entities condition, Lord thinks,this conditioned soul will never surrender, so ....(Not clear).. daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te Translation This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it. [Bg. 7.14] .....(Not clear) But in the Dham, there is no effect of Maya's power. oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya janmādy asya yato ’nvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ svarāṭ tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ tejo-vāri-mṛdāṁ yathā vinimayo yatra tri-sargo ’mṛṣā dhāmnā svena sadā nirasta-kuhakaṁ satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi Translation: O my Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth. [SB1.1.1] So Dham is always aloof from the effect of Maya, therefore devotees come to Dham to take shelter of the Lord. As Lord says sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ Translation: Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear. [BG. 18.66] So Arjun is also glorifying arjuna uvāca paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam ādi-devam ajaṁ vibhum āhus tvām ṛṣayaḥ sarve devarṣir nāradas tathā asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṁ caiva bravīṣi me Translation: Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the greatest. All the great sages such as Nārada, Asita, Devala and Vyāsa confirm this truth about You, and now You Yourself are declaring it to me. [BG 10.12-13] Dham means shelter, where devotees can take shelter of the Lord and can reciprocate with Him. Dham is that place where Lord appears and gives shelter to His devotees and to this place, we call Puri. So this Mayapuri, Jagannath Puri, Madhupuri, Haripuri, and many more Puris are there. So here Lord performs His pastimes and nurtures His devotees. Lord reciprocates with His devotees with His Yogamaya. But when we come to this place, we cannot see the potency of this place because we cannot see it with our material eyes. This is not ordinary place. This is Chintamani prakara sadmadu kalpavrksa cintāmaṇi-bhūmi, kalpa-vṛkṣa-maya vana carma-cakṣe dekhe tāre prapañcera sama Translation The land there is touchstone [cintāmaṇi], and the forests abound with desire trees. Material eyes see it as an ordinary place. [CC Ādi 5.20] We cannot see this Chintamani Dham with these material eyes. Therefore, to see this Navadvipa Dham we need to bring with us Divya caksu, spiritual vision. To purchase something we need to have some wealth, we need to pay the price; similarly to have darshan of real Dham we need to have eyes. Which kind of eyes? premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi Translation: I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love. [Śrī brahma-saṁhitā 5.38] Premanjana, but we have kamanjan in our eyes. Our eyes are full of lust;therefore, they are not capable to have darshan of this Dham. Therefore, Brahmaji says, how can one open these eyes? premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena, with bhakti. Jananjana and premanjana! Jananjana can give knowledge but cannot give vision of Dham. For that we need premanjana. How can one get this prema?Sanatana Goswami says in Haribhakti Vilasa, atra ....prakruta pradesa iva, satadhara lokayante tat katuh sri bhagavatim svacchayah alaukika lilam visesa angikara nivrtta matih. So for nivrtta matih, it is said in Srimad Bhagavatam that- nivṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānād bhavauṣadhāc chrotra-mano-’bhirāmāt ka uttamaśloka-guṇānuvādāt pumān virajyeta vinā paśughnāt Translation: Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is performed in the paramparā system, that is, it is conveyed from the spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false, temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul undergoing repeated birth and death. Therefore, who will cease hearing such glorification of the Lord except a butcher or one who is killing his own self? [ŚB 10.1.4] One who is free from all kinds of illusion, disturbance, he never gets affected. Tapa traya unmulanam, all kinds of miseries are destroyed. He is prasannatma, transcendentally situated. He reciprocates with the Lord, sri bhagavate rasacye alaukika.. visesa angikara nivrta mati,So only with that mati, intelligence we can understand and achieve gati, the ultimate destination. So, to glorify this Dham is not the job of a material tongue. But we expect mercy of the Dhamavasis, may be some sukruti will awake. So Bhakti Vinod Thakur says, one who has done all pilgrimages- sarva-tirtha bhrami’ yadi haya phalodaya navadvipa tabe tara vasa-sthana haya Translation: “‘When souls attain the result of visiting all other holy places, then they can reside in Nabadwip. [Sri Nabadwip Dham Mahatmya: chapter ten verse 24] Result of visiting all holy places is, one can reside in Navadvipa Dham. ata eva navadvipa chadite.. anya tirtha asa kare mudha durjana,if one desires to leave this Navadvipa Dham and reside in some other holy place then he is durjana,rascal and mudha, foolish. Foolish people cannot understand the secret tattva of this Dham. They cannot understand Lord's intention and mood. Therefore, Lord Krsna, to manifest and relish His internal mood, appeared in Navadvipa. And it is said that the place where Lord appeared is known as Yogapitha. pancha bhautika deha api bhakti smrtyah sachidananda rupa taya...avam varjya vasatat kim va tat karunya bhakti visesana atra tatrartita tat sphurtih sambhava.With the help of karunya bhakti. ...karunya bhakti visesana atra tatrartita tat sphurtih sambhava, only those who are free from three modes, can see this Sachidananda form. Karunya bhakti, with ecstasy, crying and all, as we say when something falls in the eye, immediately tears come from the eye. Then that tear washes out that dirt from the eye. Similarly, while performing bhakti, this mood of karunya bhakti, ecstasiesarise. With that all anarthas get washed out. With this mood all the anarthas get washed out. This heart is contaminated from many births, but this bhakti, pibanti ye bhagavatam atmanam satam. So by hearing and contemplating on the Katha, the bhakti rasa enters in. And this rasa comes out in the form of tears. ...karunya bhakti visesana atra tatrartita tat sphurtih sambhava. Tat tat sphurtih sambhava, then only we can place Lord in the heart. The Chintamani Dham cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa- lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi Translation: I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, the first progenitor who is tending the cows, yielding all desire, in abodes built with spiritual gems, surrounded by millions of purpose trees, always served with great reverence and affection by hundreds of thousands of lakṣmīs or gopīs. [Śrī brahma-saṁhitā 5.29] So in the Dham lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ, hundreds of thousands of lakṣmīs always serve there with great reverence and affection. There are desire trees, the kalpavrksas.....(Not clear)…. And in this Yogapitha the throne is made of precious gems. There are many desire trees and under them many surrendered souls have taken shelter. Fallen souls like Jagai Madhai are also under these trees. Here at Yogapitha mahavadanyaya Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared. At His right side is Nityananda and at His left side is Gadadhara. At left side there is also Srivasa and at right side Advaita Acharya. Lord manifested His internal mood, relished it and also distributed it. Therefore, Caitanya Mahaprabhu says to Nityanand Prabhu suno suno nityananda, suno haridas sarvatra amar ajna koroho prakas prati ghare ghare giya koro ei bhiksa bolo `krsna', bhajo krsna, koro krsna-siksa iha bai arna boliba, bolaiba dina-avasane asi' amare kohiba Translation: "Listen, listen, Nityananda! Listen, Haridasa! Make My command known everywhere! Go from house to house and beg from all the residents, `Please chant Krsna's name, worship Krsna, and teach others to follow Krsna's instructions.' Do not speak, or cause anyone to speak, anything other than this." [CB Madhya-Khanda 13.8-10] From this Antar-dvipa, Mahaprabhu distributed His Prema rasa to all over the world. He drowned three worlds in His bhakti rasa. What is this bhakti rasa? It is said that even if one gets a drop of this bhakti rasa, that can drown the whole world. Imagine how huge that must be. Anila premera..., this drowned the whole world. Therefore, this Mayapur Dham which is in Navadvipa and how big is it? sola-krosa navadvipa madhye yaha yaha varniva ekhana bhakta gana suna taha Translation: Devotees, listen! I will now describe everything within the thirty-two miles of Nvadvipa. sola-krosa madhye navadvipera pramana sodasa pravaha tatha sada vidyamana Translation: Sixteen rivers exist eternally within the thirty-two miles of Navadvipa. Sola-krosa navadvipa,it is of sixteen krosas.Shodasa krosa tad sada vidyaman, what is there in this? Shodasa prabhava, this is the mood, golokera antavarti yei mahavana mayapura navadvipe jana bhakta gana golokera antavarti yei mahavana, just as there is Mahavan in Golok Vrndavana, mayapura navadvipe jana bhakta gana, we should understand that this Mayapur is that same Madhavan in Navadvipa. svetadvipa vaikuntha goloka vrndavana navadvipe saba tattva acche sarva ksana Translation: Svetadvipa, Goloka and Vaikuntha are always present in Navadvipa. This is given in Bhakti Ratnakar. Therefore, when we hear the glories, mahima, mahi is Earth and ma means mother. So, this earth is like a mother. So, is this mother? She is Radha Thakurani, who has cut down all Maya sakti. Lord says, as soon as someone surrenders unto Me I protect him. ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ Translation: As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā. [BG. 4.11] Lord is putting condition but when mother is giving shelter, she cut down all conditions. Because there is causeless mercy, karuna in the mother. Therefore, Radharani Herself manifested this Dham and Mayadevi prays to Mahaprabhu in Simanta-dvipa, ‘I have given a lot of trouble to the living entities. Please give me shelter.’ So, one who wants to drown in prema rasa, who wants to drink sankirtan prema rasa, and wants to be saved from Maya, he should take shelter of Navadvipa, Mayapur. Bodily, mentally and by speech, any how he should take the shelter. Nāmāśraya kori' jatane tumi thākaha āpana kāje [from udilo aruṇa pūraba-bhāge, Gītāvalī 6, by Bhakti Vinod Thakur].This is nama asraya as well as dhama asraya. But one need to take this asraya, shelter very carefully, not whimsically. When we hear again and again the glories of Dham, then that mood arises. ye ’nye ’ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho ’nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ Translation: [Someone may say that aside from devotees, who always seek shelter at the Lord’s lotus feet, there are those who are not devotees but who have accepted different processes for attaining salvation. What happens to them? In answer to this question, Lord Brahmā and the other demigods said:] O lotus-eyed Lord, although nondevotees who accept severe austerities and penances to achieve the highest position may think themselves liberated, their intelligence is impure. They fall down from their position of imagined superiority because they have no regard for Your lotus feet. [ŚB 10.2.32] We have fallen down from our position of imagined superiority because we have no regard for Lord's lotus feet. nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-prema ‘sādhya’ kabhu naya śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte karaye udaya Translation: “Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. [CC Madhya 22.107] By the process of hearing, we have to awake this bhava again. Sun never sets down; just by the change is direction we think that it has set down. Krsna or Krsna bhakti only changes the direction as we consider the material world as Absolute truth and reject the satyam param dhimahi. To remember this Absolute truth we need to hear these glories, should take shelter of the Dham, should take shelter of the Dhamavasi devotees. Then this parama siddhi śuddha-bhakata-caraṇa-reṇu, bhajana-anukūla bhakata-sevā, parama-siddhi, prema-latikāra mūla Translation: The dust of the lotus feet of pure devotees, enthusiastic devotional service, and service to the pure devotees of the highest order are the roots of the creeper of devotion.  [Verse 1 from Song ‘Suddha Bhakata Carana Renu’ by Bhakti Vinod Thakura] Then automatically this creeper of Prema bhakti gets nourishment. As it is said ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ Translation: ‘Therefore material senses cannot appreciate Kṛṣṇa’s holy name, form, qualities and pastimes. When a conditioned soul is awakened to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and renders service by using his tongue to chant the Lord’s holy name and taste the remnants of the Lord’s food, the tongue is purified, and one gradually comes to understand who Kṛṣṇa really is.’ [CC Madhya 17.136] This seva, service should be done by the tongue and also by karmana manasa vaca buddhya, by all means. By understanding the mood of devotional service, we can understand the glories of the Dham in true sense and can imbibe that mood. The roots get nourished. Sevonmukhe hi jivhadau, from tongue also we should do service and physically means karmana manasa vaca buddhya, by all means having this mood of devotional service, we can in true sense can take shelter of the Dham. Sub-theme: Vrndavan Dham in Navadvipa Dham This Mayapur Dham or Navadvipa Dham is non different than Goloka Vrndavana. Jiva Goswami and Bhakti Vinod Thakur have given clear definition that, Mayapur is Gokula Mahavan and Srivas Angan is Rasasthali of Vrndavana. Ishodyan is the kunjavali of Radhakunda. Bamun Pukur, the place of Chanda Kazi is Mathura. Madhuvana is ..where …took rest, it is known as Sakti pitha. All tirthas reside here. Maha Varanasi, Kasi is also here. Godrum Dvipa is Nandishvara and Madhya dvipa is Naimisaranya. Brahmanpur is Pushkar tirtha. Uccha hatta is Kuruksetra. Panchaveni is Prayag ksetra and Fulia is representative of Giri Govardhana. Koladvipa is Bahulavan and Samudragadha is Gangasagar. Champahati is Khadirvan and Rtupur is Kumudvan. Vidyanagar is Vyasapitha, it is known as Saradapith. Jambudvipa is Bhadravan. Modadrumdvipa is Bhandirvan or Ayodhya. Those who have not visited Ayodhya can come to Modadrumdvipa. Arkatila is Suryakunda. Mahatpur is Kamyavan. Rudradvipa is Kailasha Dham. Belapukur, the place of Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s grandfather is Bilvavan. Rukmapur is Sankarsana ksetra. So there are many details about this. We have given in short. Time is short. ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayas tad-dhāma vṛndāvanaṁ ramya kaścid upāsanā vraja-vadhu-varga-vīrya kalpita śrīmad-bhāgavatam amalaṁ purāṇaṁ premā pum-artho mahān śrī-caitanya mahāprabhor matam idaṁ tatradaraḥ na paraḥ Translation: “It is the conclusive opinion of Lord Caitanya that the most worshipable form of the Lord is that of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Nanda Mahārāja. Vṛndāvana Dhāma is the topmost worshipable abode. The highest and most pleasing type of worship of Kṛṣṇa is done by the vraja gopīs. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the spotless authority on everything. And kṛṣṇa-prema is the fifth and highest goal of life” [Caitanya-matta-mañjuṣā commentary on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura] So here also we find vrajavadhu; Gadadhara, who is in male form. And that Lord Krsna, aradhyo bhagavan brajesa tanaya, who was worshipped in Vraja is now worshipped in Navadvipa. So Bhakti Vinod Thakur says we have to start the parikrama from Yogapitha where devotees meet with the Lord. So from here we go to Nandan Acharya bhavan where Caitanya Mahaprabhu met Nityananda Prabhu. So like this we need to imbibe the mood. This will help us in our spiritual life. By taking shelter of Krsna Bhakti we should progress on this path. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Thank you very much.
