Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur\u00a0instructed his son and spiritual successor, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, to develop Sri Navadvipa Dhama parikrama, for by its performance, he said, all people of the world can be liberated.<\/p>\n<p>Following this instruction, in 1918, the first official Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama was initiated by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupad. Thousands of devotees carrying flags and led by auspicious elephants walked through sacred streets of Navadvip Dham performing ecstatic kitran.<\/p>\n<p>For those who do not know the meaning of the term Navadvipa Mandala Parakirama, the word Navadvipa means nine islands, mandala refers to\u00a0circle,\u00a0universe or any geometric pattern, while\u00a0Parikrama (pronounced Parikramaa, with a long &#8220;a&#8221; at the end) means circumambulation.<\/p>\n<p>Followers of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, known as Gaudiya Vaishnavas, walk around these nine islands, geographically situated in West Bengal of India, every year\u00a0in the month of Pahalguna (generally middle of March). Devotees also use boats to cross Ganga and other sacred rivers surrounding the islands. Thousands of devotees from different corners of the world arrive in Sri Mayapur and the present-day Navadvipa town to participate in this yearly festival orgnized by ISKCON and Gaudiya maths in surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>Navadvipa is located at the centre of the Gaura-madala-bhumi, appearing like a large lotus with a hundred petals with a circumference of 270 km (168 miles) and a diameter of approximately 90 km.<\/p>\n<p>As shown\u00a0in <a href=\"http:\/\/series\u00a0http:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/knowing-sri-mayapur-as-it-is-1\/ to\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Knowing Sri Mayapur As It Is &#8211; Part 1<\/a>, the following short video gives a beautiful introduction to the nine islands.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8YfF5s_r71I?rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Navadvipa is where the Supreme Lord incarnated as Lord Gauranga (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) in kali-yuga to teach the people the best way to attain the ultimate goal of life, which is the Love of Godhead, or Krishna-prema.

Having walked around Kola dvipa at leisure, then take darshan of Ritu dvipa. After you have seen the most beautiful Jahnu dvipa, go and see Modadruma dvipa and then Rudra dvipa. Then again cross the Ganges, and walk back to Mayapur. There, respectfully enter the temple of Sriman Jagannatha Mishra and Sachi mata and take darshan of the Lord.

Being unable to control myself, I have given up my own city of Kasi. Within Mayapur, on the bank of the Ganges, I will live in a hut and worship Gauranga.&#8221; (Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya Lord Siva addresses Parvati who then comes to Simanta dvipa)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Godruma dvipa:<\/h2>\n<h3>Most beneficial\u00a0devotional process: Kirtanam<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cGodruma corresponds to the city of Nanda Maharaja in Braja, known as Sri Nandisvara, which is the residence of the cowherd folk. Here Sri Gauranga performs various pastimes. After having a snack of milk products at a cowherd\u2019s house in the forenoon period, Nimai goes in the company of His gopa friends and tends the cows in the pasturelands. One cowherd boy would say: \u2018O brother, you are Gopala! Dressing like a Brahmana boy does not suit you at all. Come on, I\u2019ll carry you on my shoulders and we\u2019ll go herd the cows. Let\u2019s head toward your mother\u2019s house in Mayapur.\u2019 One gopa would show great affection and give Him curds mixed with condensed milk, and another gopa would become agitated with love just by seeing the wonderfully beautiful form of the Lord. Yet another gopa would place fruits and flowers in His hand, saying, \u2018 O brother! Please come to my house everyday!\u201d (Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga By Bhaktivinoda Thakura)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/navadvipaparikrama7.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-93684\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93684 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/navadvipaparikrama7.jpg\" alt=\"navadvipaparikrama7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/navadvipaparikrama7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/navadvipaparikrama7-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/navadvipaparikrama7-768x680.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>Madhya dvipa<\/h2>\n<h3>Most beneficial\u00a0devotional process: Smaranam<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen will I wander and wander throughout that forest (Madhyadvipa) and behold the wonderful vision of this assembly of sages hearing the Gaura Purana by the bank of the Gomati river?&#8230; When will the audience of rishis headed by Shaunaka show their mercy by grasping both my hands and putting the dust of their feet upon my head?
