Today is a very super excellent auspicious day as it is Lord Jagannatha’s public bathing festival, snana-yatra maha-mahotsava. Today is also Srila Sridhara Thakura and Srila Mukunda Datta’s tirobhava-tithi (disappearance day). I will briefly speak a few words on Lord Jagannatha’s public bathing festival, snana-yatra maha-mahotsava. While Lord Krishna resides in Jagannatha Puri, He performs sweet lilas like a human being, manava-lila. He also manifested in Jagannatha Puri as d

Dashami tithi refers to ten days from the new moon, for this reason, this day is called Dashahara. Try to understand that the Ganges River is eternal and transcendental. But for bhauma-lila (earthly pastimes), Ganga-devi manifests in this material world, and the story of her d

Srivasa’s Firm Faith in Mahaprabhu’s Advent Srila Vrindavana dasа Thakura, who in gaura-lila is the Vyasa-avatarа, told the glories of Srila Srivasa Pandita in his book, Chaitanya-bhagavata . Who can tell the glories of someone who bathes in Nirdaya-ghata located in Navadvipa? The Ganges is everywhere, isn’t it? But the Ganges in Navadvipa-dhama has one speciality. There, Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed His pastimes with His friends and associates in this sacred river. E
