Plan your spiritual 2025 now!
On behalf of the students and supporters of Chaitanya Academy, we wish you all a Happy New Year! There are many wonderful pilgrimages, retreats, festivals and courses planned for 2025.
We begin the year with a 24-month online Sanskrit course, beginning on January 8th. Then our festival season will be inaugurated in an auspicious holy place visited by the most merciful Sri Nityananda Prabhu, Goa (Arambol Beach). The annual Goa Bhakti Festival (29th Jan – 4th Feb) will be followed by three major pilgrimages (parikramas) in India.
A mystical experience awaits you in Jagannatha Puri, the coastal holy city in Orissa, where Lord Jagannatha presides over the realm of divine “love in separation” (Vipralabha Ksetra).
“Where is the Lord of My life air (prana), who plays sweetly upon his flute? What shall I do now? Where should I go to find the son of the King of Vraja?
Even today, this pitiful sound of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s weeping can be heard in the Gambhira, in the orchard of Tota-gopinath, in the gardens of Jagannatha Vallabha Batika and other places, by those who are deeply absorbed in hearing Mahaprabhu’s inconceivably powerful pastimes in Jagannatha Puri. To reserve your accommodation, transport, etc., make sure you register by filling in the online registration form.
Please fill out a SEPARATE FORM FOR EVERY PARTICIPANT, even if arriving as a group/family.

From Puri, we relocate to Sri Navadvipa Dhama in time to celebrate the Vyasa Puja of our most worshipful Prabhupada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. After attaining his blessings, we will perform parikrama of the nine islands of Navadvipa Dhama (17th-24th Feb).
Miraculously, that Navadvipa Dhama will suddenly transform and reveal its madhurya aspect when we arrive in Vraja-mandala for the Vrndavana Retreat (1st -15th March). The Vrndavan Retreat will include study of Srila Rupa Gosvami’s epic drama Sri Lalita Madhava and visits to various sacred places under the guidance of Sri Acyuta Lal Bhatta Gosvami and Sri Prem Prayojan Prabhu. We will also observe the grand celebrations of Holi, Gaura Paurnima, and Jagannatha Misra Mahotsava. After the official retreat, Hari-katha and kirtans will continue until 21st March.
When the pilgrimages and retreats in India are complete, devotees are invited to participate in preparing for the international events in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Latvia and Russia.
Here is the full schedule so far for live events with Sri Prem Prayojan Prabhu in the coming year. More events will be added on request.
