Preparing Ourselves for Parikrama (English)

To get emancipation from worldly bondage you have to perform Parikrama. You have to engage your sense organs, mind, intelligence and everything for the service of Navadvip Dham. The transcendental Navadvip Dham, the spiritual realm is one with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the most munificent form of Godhead. Navadvip Dham is all merciful. Without the grace of Navadvip Dham you cannot perform Vraja Dham Parikrama. You will not be able to see Vraja Dham.

Glories of Simantadvipa

Hearing Shiva's words, beautiful Parvati quickly went to Simantadvipa. As she constantly meditated on the form of Gauranga and chanted His name, she became immersed in prema. After some time, Gaurachandra appeared with His associates to bestow mercy on Parvati. His complexion was like molten gold. He had long arms, wavy hair, and beautiful limbs. He was wearing a long dhoti folded thrice, and from His neck swung a garland of flowers, which was very attractive to behold. Parvati put Gauranga's foot dust on her Samanta (part in the hair) in great distress. From that, the name of Simantadvipa came.

Glories of Ganganagar

Nityanand Prabhu said to Jiva Goswami, “Listen, Jiva, this Ganganagar was founded by Bhagiratha of the Raghu family. When the Celestial Ganga came down, King Bhagiratha led the way, blowing a conch shell. But when Ganga Devi arrived at Navadvip-dhama, she stopped and would not proceed. Bhagiratha saw this and became fearful. Retracing his steps, he came towards Ganga. At this place i.e. in Ganganagar, he began to perform austerities. Satisfied with this, Ganga Devi personally appeared before him.”

Glories of Belpukur

Leading through Parikrama of Bilvapaksa (Bela Pukhariya or Belpukura) in Navadvip dhama, Sri Nityanand Prabhu says to Jiva Goswami, “Radha and Krishna bestowed Their mercy by appearing before Nimbarka. Lighting up all directions and gently smiling.” They said to Nimbarka, “You are very fortunate. You have performed sādhana in Navadvip, Our dear abode. Here We take on one form, as the son of Sachidevi.”

Glories of Sardanga

Sardanga is non-different from Sri Jagannath Puri, Purushottam Dham. Baladeva, Subhadra and Jagannath Deva came to Sardanga and are being served by the devotees here.

Glories of Chandkazi Samadhi

The Chand Kazi's village is none other than Mathura. After performing kirtana, Gauranga gave love of God to the Kazi and liberated him. Mathura's King Kamsa of krishna-lila became Chand Kazi in Gaura-lila. For that reason, Gauranga addressed the Kazi as His maternal uncle, and out of fear the Kazi took shelter of Gauranga's lotus feet.
