Sri Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama 2018 Day 3

"Gauuuuuraaaangaaa! Early this morning when it was still cold and foggy the parikrama reached Brahma Pushkara, followed by Dharmakshetra, Kurukshetra. 

These holy places like all holy places although appearing in various different regions in truth are expansions of their original realm Navadvipa Dha.ma. From here they expand themselves. After crossing Gauranga Setu breakfast prasadam which had a touch from South India was served sumptuously. Fully energised, the International Parikrama party entered Navadvipa with the flags of the  transcendental Nam Sankirtan. HH Bhakti Nrisimha Maharaja and HH Bhakti Dhira Damodara Maharaja led wonderful kirtans through the sacred streets of Navadvipa Town. At Navadvipa (Koladvipa island) we first visited the temple of Dhamesvara Mahaprabhu which is a very special deity worshipped by Vishnu Priya for around 80 years afrer Mahaprabhu took sannyasa.
 
His stretched out hands can be interpreted in two ways. One is " I am yours" and the other is " take love of Godhead, please take it." The Rishis glorify Mahaprabhu: "This pastime of Krishna in Nadia is so wonderful... Sacinandana is free to do whatever He wants. It is not possible to predict his actions... He will take sannyasa and travel widely and in doing so, He will fulfill the desires of unlimited tirthas and holy places..."
 
"HH Gopal Krishna Maharaja gave a beautiful lecture at Jagannatha Das Babaji's samadhi. After that devotees went to Panca veni for more katha and danced joyfully towards their camp at Mahisura. At Mahisura, a very simple village, the devotees distributed a lot of prasada to those fortunate residents and  HG Rajendranandana Prabhu gave an insightful lecture at evening, on how to progress in spiritual life by doing Parikrama.
