[Guest guest]

Camp:Mayapur.

 

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All

glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

 

PLEASE COME AND LIVE IN SRIDHAM MAYAPUR.

 

Please see the following quote from the book "Appreciating Navadvipa Dhama"

by Mahanidhi Swami - Chapter 14 : Residing in Navadvipa Dhama...Benefits of

residing in Navadvipa Dhama (Page 255) as follows:

 

"One who lives in Navadvipa Dhama is very fortunate, for he attains

attraction for Lord Krsna. One who goes there becomes freed from all

offenses. Simply by remembering Navadvipa, one receives the same results

that one attains by traveling to all the holy places. Seeing Navadvipa Dhama

gives ecstatic Krsna-prema birth after birth. What the yogis obtain after

ten years of practice is attained in three nights in Navadvipa.

"In Navadvipa, bhukti (material enjoyment) and mukti remain as

obedient servants of the pure devotees. Not caring for their blessings,

however, the devotees kick them away. But bhukti and mukti remain fixed,

waiting to give their blessings if required. Therefore, whatever one gets at

the seven holy pilgrimage places by staying one hundred years can be

attained by staying one night in Navadvipa.

"In conclusion, Navadvipa Dhama is the topmost tirtha. By taking

shelter of Navadvipa the living entity can cross over the dangerous ocean of

Kali-Yuga. At Navadvipa, the name 'Rama' which gives liberation, and the

name. 'Krsna' which gives love of God, constantly serve the devotees of the

Dhama." (Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya)

"By staying for a single day in Navadvipa one attains the results of

living for a kalpa at Prayaga, remaining a very long time at Varanasi, or

serving all other holy places. By merely living in Navadvipa one attains the

result of practicing yoga in any other holy place. In Navadvipa walking is

like performing great yajnas, and lying down is like offering repeated

dandavats. Even ordinary eating there becomes honoring prasada."

(Urdhvamnaya Tantra)

"Trees and plants living beside rivers naturally become strong and

luxuriant. Similarly, the bhakti-lata (creeper of devotion) of devotees

living in Navadvipa Dhama becomes stout and healthy. "Sincerity and depth in

devotion grow in one who lives near sacred rivers like the Ganges, or in

places of the Lord's pastimes." (Jaiva Dharma)

"They who in the age of Kali take shelter of Mayapur and worship

Me, become free from all sins and attain the supreme destination." (Skanda

Purana)

"Mayapur is the destroyer of sins." (Garga-samhita)

"The success of life, especially for the Vaisnavas, is to stay in

Navadvipa and worship the Lord by following the path of the people of Vraja.

In other holy places shaving the head, fasting, offering sraddha, performing

ritual bathing, giving charity and other duties are mandatory, but in

Navadvipa there is no rule that must be done. Whatever past karma there may

be at once perishes in Navadvipa, for the knot of karma is cut."

(Urdhvamnaya Tantra)

"One easily becomes free from the bondage of Maya by even one

visiting Mayapur. The power of Maya will go far away, and the cycle of birth

and death will cease for one who walks in Mayapur." (Navadvipa Dhama

Mahatmya)

"One who is simply determined to live in Navadvipa until he gives

up his body has already executed all kinds of devotional service. He has

already attained the greatest most worshipable of all desirable goals."

(Navadvipa-sataka)

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura makes a provoking point

about the necessity of living in the dhama. "The service of the holy name,

who is the life and soul of transcendental knowledge, is not possible unless

and until one takes up residence here in Sri Dhama. And the service of the

holy desire of Krsna is not possible without the method of successfully

serving Krsna's holy name." (Sri Caitanya's Teachings)

 

Your servant,

Bhakta Haresh.
