NAVADVIPA MANDAL PARIKRAMA
Today, Lord Krishna is worshipped all across the globe by the spiritual process of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. But, do you know the origin of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra? Who began its propagation? and how it was propagated?
We come to learn from various authentic sources, Lord Krishna personally made His advent over 500 years ago in a golden complexion to inaugurate this process of congregational chanting as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in Mayapur, located in Navadvipa, West Bengal.
Sri Navadvipa consists of 9 Islands namely: Antardvipa Simantadvipa Godrumadvipa Madhyadvipa Koladvipa Rtudvipa Jahnudvipa Modadrumadvipa Rudradvipa. Each of these 9 Islands has a high spiritual significance and is imbibed with transcendental qualities. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu used to frequently visit these islands with His associates and encourage the congregational chanting of the holy names of Lord Krishna. Every year, devotees take pleasure in traversing these islands, visiting various temples along the banks of river Ganga and reminiscing the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. Particularly during the period of Gaura Purnima, the divine appearance day of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
ISKCON Bangalore presents the Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama, an online tour of the pristine locations of Sri Gaura Mandala, where the Supreme Lord and His devotees enacted their pastimes. In this Virtual Parikrama, one can witness the spectacular landscape of Sri Navadvipa Dham, beautiful deities of the Supreme Lord, take part in heart-touching bhajans, and listen to the most unique and confidential pastimes of the Supreme Lord.
