Śrī Ekacakrā-dhāma at Your Fingertips
A New Digital Initiative Explores the Holy Places of Lord Nityānanda
Śrīla Prabhupāda instructed, “If you are actually serious about
going back to home, back to Godhead, then please seek after the
mercy of Nityānanda.” Inspired by this instruction, the Mayapur
Master Plan Office is delighted to introduce the
Virtual Pilgrimage
to Ekacakrā Dhāma, the sacred birthplace of Lord Nityānanda.
This initiative allows devotees around the world to explore holy
places, offer prayers and connect with the boundless mercy of Lord
Nityānanda at their own time and pace, throughout the year.
Discover the Holy Places of Ekacakrā-dhāma
“The ocean of mercy, the giver of devotional service, and the
shelter of all Vaiṣṇavas, Śrī Nityānanda Rāma, appeared in
Rāḍha-deśa. At the time of Nityānanda’s appearance, all the demigods
secretly showered flowers and chanted, “Jaya! Jaya!” From that day
on, the land of Rāḍha began to prosper and signs of auspiciousness
became visible”
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata Ādi-khaṇḍa 2.40-2.42).

Prabhu, ensuring a spiritually enriching and meaningful pilgrimage
