Spiritually, Gauda-mandala is the most exclusive. And of all places in Bengal, Sridhama Mayapur is the crest jewel. Sri Navadvipa-dhama is essentially nondifferent from Sri Vrndavana-dhama. But Mayapur is above both Vrndavana and Navadvipa. In the middle of Sri Mayapur is the mahayogapitha, the temple of Jagannatha Misra, the father of Lord Caitanya. As the incarnation of Caitanya Mahaprabhu is covered in Kali-yuga, so is His dhama, Sri Navadvipa. No other holy place of pilgrimage in Kali-yuga compares with Sri Navadvipa. If one performs devotional service in Sri Navadvipa-dhama, especially in Sri Mayapur, one quickly gets krsna-prema-siddhi (the perfection of love of Krsna)."
