vanam copavanam sarvam

srimad-vrndavana-sthitam

krodi-krtam navadvipe

krsna-lila-su-siddhaye


“To make Sri Krsna's perfect pastimes even more perfect, Navadvipa embraces to its chest all of beautiful Vrndavana's forests and sub-forests.”

Sri Navadvipa Satakam 82

SRI NAVADVIPA DHAMA PARIKRAMA Day 3 + 4 (GODRUMA, MADHYA, KOLA and RTUDVIPA)

When I met my Sri Gurudeva, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami, for the very first time in 1991 at Sri Devananda Gaudiya Matha, he spoke the following verse with such conviction that I became stunned by his dhama-nistha, faith, loyalty and commitment to Sri Navadvipa.

sarva-sadhana-hino 'pi

navadvipaika-samsrayah

yah ko 'pi prapnuyad eva

radha-priya-rasotsavam


"One who is completely devoid of any spiritual practice (sadhana), but who has wholeheartedly taken complete shelter of Sri Navadvipa Dhama, will attain the great festival of the nectar of pure love for Shri Radha's beloved."

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 Sri Navadvipa Dhama, then you will attain the pastime forest of Vraja. If you don't worship Sri Navadvipa Dhama, then the forest of Vraja will remain far away.
If you worship Sri Caitanya, the son of the brahmana, Jagannatha Misra, then you will attain Sri Krsna as the paramour of Sri Radha in Vraja. If you don't worship Sri Caitanya, then you will not attain Sri Krsna."

Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati Navadvipa Sataka 78

yo ’jnāna-mattam bhuvanam dayālur

ullāghayann apy akarot pramattam

sva-prema-sampat-sudhayādbhuteham

śrī-krsna-caitanyam amum prapadye


“We offer our respectful obeisances unto that merciful Supreme Personality of Godhead who has converted all three worlds, which were maddened by ignorance, and saved them from their diseased condition by making them intoxicated with nectar from the treasure-house of love of God. Let us take full shelter of that Personality of Godhead, Śrī Krsna Caitanya, whose activities are wonderful.” (CC Madhya 19.54)

ye līlā-amrta vine, khāya yadi anna-pāne,

tabe bhaktera durbala jīvana

yāra eka-bindu-pāne, utphullita tanu-mane,

hāse, gāya, karaye nartana


"One becomes strong and stout by eating sufficient grains, but the devotee who simply eats ordinary grains but does not taste the transcendental pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Śrī Krsna gradually becomes weak and falls down from the transcendental position. However, if one drinks but a drop of the nectar of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes, his body and mind bloom as he begins to laugh, sing and dance."
(CC Madhya 25.278)
