PART 1 Even though it is the last day of the Navadvipa Dhama parikrama, the parikrama never actually ends because the spiritual world is infinite. About how Caitanya Mahaprabhu made prema appear in the hearts of those who had His darsana. About how prema does not manifest in the heart today because of offenses.

12 Mar 2025 evening – Take Shelter of Navadvipa-dhama (Hindi) | Navadvipa, India | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
Part 1 Srila BV Narayana GM chastised his disciples and thus gave them mercy. We need the stamp of Navadvipa-dhama to enter Vrindavana. Navadvipa-dhama is so merciful. Only Mahaprabhu can give vraja-prema in this age of Kali. Hanuman’s dasya-rasa and radha-dasyam are not the same. In Vrindavana a meeting is primary and in Navadvipa a separation is primary. Maha-prasada given to Srila BV Narayana Gosvami Maharaja from Sri Radha Herself. Just chant the name of Gaurasundara and you will get...
