Mayapur Clean & Green, led by Murari Mohini Devi Dasi, along with ISKCON Mayapur Land Office Central and the Mayapur Environmental Protection Team, came together on July 7, 2024, to clean Sri Mayapur Dham and welcome Lord Jagannath on the first day of the Rathayatra. The cleaning was sponsored by the Land Office and some volunteers lead by Anadi Krishna Das.
The cleaning started in the morning of the Rathayatra day, from the precinct at the beginning of the ISKCON Mayapur campus all the way to Yogapitha, along the road that the Lord traveled later that afternoon.
Tapan Misra Das, one of the Co-Directors of Mayapur, inaugurated the event. He glorified the holy land of Mayapur and said, “We have excellent flora and fauna. This Dham is described in the scriptures as the most auspicious, most glorified Dham. And it’s our duty to ensure that the Dham remains absolutely illuminating, clean, and cared for. In the Chaitanya Charitamrita, it is described that the Lord himself, along with his devotees, conducted Gundica Marjana. The land of Mahaprabhu is a temple by itself. And what our devotees are doing today is to conduct that Gundica Marjana throughout the paths that Lord Jagannath will travel this afternoon.” You can hear his full remarks about the effort here.
