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 Harihar Kshetra (Hindi)
To the west of the Alakananda River see Kasi, where the followers of Siva and his consort endeavor for liberation. This Navadvipa Kasi, however, is superior to the other Kasi. Here, Siva is always dancing and chanting the name of Gaura, begging his followers to accept Gaura-bhakti. The sannyasis who live for a thousand years in Kasi may attain liberation through the cultivation of jnana, but here the devotees kick away that liberation as they dance and chant the name of Gauranga.
