Navadvipa is parama-prabala-tirtha and sarva-dhaama-saara in Kali-Yug

Compiled and Translated by Bhaktiratna Sadhu Swami

 

>From Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya of Shrila Thakura Bhaktivinoda:

 

kali kale tirtha saba atyanta durbala,

navadvipa tirtha matra parama prabala,

 

In Kali-Yuga the spiritual power of all other holy places of pilgrimage has

become very weak. Only Shri Navadvipa-Dhama is the most powerful and

prominent in Kali-Yuga.

 

hena navadvipa-dhama sarva-dhama sara,

kalite ashraya kari jiva haya para.

 

Thus Shri Navadvipa-Dhama is the ultimate essence of all holy places of

pilgrimage in the universe. Living entities in Kali-Yuga can be delivered

only by taking full shelter of Shri Navadvipa-Dhama.

 

dekhibe ki rupe kali jive kare nasha,

navadvipa-dhama ami kariba prakasha.

 

Lord Gauranga said: "I will never allow Kali to destroy the consciousness of

the living entities in Kali-Yuga. For that I will manifest My most merciful

abode of Shri Navadvipa-Dhama."

 

sei dhame kalira bhangiba visha-danta,

kirtana kariya jive kari atmasatha.

 

The Lord continued: "By manifesting this topmost transcendental abode of

Mine, I will break the poisonous fangs of Kali-Yuga. Then I will personally

descend in My abode of Navadvipa and accept all the living entities into My

fold by the performance of sankirtana."
