The air in Sridham Mayapur is changing. We are entering that sacred window of the year where the spiritual energy intensifies, beginning with the fragrant Sri Radha Madhava Pusya Abhishek and leading us into a season of unparalleled devotion.
Among these pearls of festivities, one shines with a particular mercy: Sri Nityananda Trayodasi.
In just a few weeks, we will celebrate the appearance of Lord Nityananda Rama. He is none other than Lord Balarama Himself—the original Guru, the embodiment of service, and the reservoir of spiritual strength. Without the mercy of Nitai, one cannot approach Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu or the groves of Vrindavan. He is the Adi-Guru, wandering the streets of Bengal with ankles bells jingling, begging everyone to chant the Holy Name.
Nityananda Avadhutendu, Vasuda-prana-vallabha Jahnavi-jivita-pati, Krsna-prema-pradayaka
"Lord Nityananda is the Moon of all Avadhutas, the dear life-breath of Vasuda (His wife). He is the Lord of the life of Jahnavi Devi and the bestower of ecstatic love for Krishna."
A Celebration of Two Dhams
In Mayapur, this festival is a grand symphony of splendor and soul. It unfolds simultaneously in two holiest of places:
1. Sri Ekachakra Dham: The birthplace of Lord Nitai, where the atmosphere is flooded with ecstatic Kirtan as devotees welcome the Lord back to His home.
2. Sri Mayapur Dham: Where the festivities begin with a soul-stirring Adhivas Kirtan, leading into the grand Abhishek and feast.
This year, the nectar flows from January 28th through January 31st, 2026.
As the festival approaches, we invite you to be more than a witness—we invite you to be a participant in the Lord’s pleasure. Whether it is donation towards feeding the thousands of pilgrims who journey to the Dham, Abhisheka sevas or pooja offerings. Every seva performed for Nitai returns a thousand-fold in spiritual bliss.
