Hare Krsna

As Sri Gauracandra appeared in Navadvipa, it is therefore the crest jewel of all holy places. Offenders are the object of punishment at other holy pilgrimage places, but in Navadvipa‑dham they are purified.

He who happens to go there becomes freed from all offenses. What one attains by travelling to all the holy places is attained just by remembering Navadvipa. In this way the scriptures sing. He who sees Navadvipa‑dham gets ecstatic love of Krsna birth after birth. Even one who goes to Navadvipa desiring to gain material comforts through pious activities will not take another birth. The sastras say that one who walks around Navadvipa attains the fruit of millions of asvamedha‑yajnas at every step. And one who lives in Navadvipa and chants mantras obtains the sound of Caitanya as his mantra and easily gets free from maya. What yogis obtain after ten years at other tirthas is obtained in three nights at Navadvipa. That liberation attained by Brahman realization at other holy places is obtained simply by bathing in the Ganges at Navadvipa.

Living in Navadvipa for one day is better than living in Prayaga, Varanasi, or any other tirtha for a kalpa. Whatever results one obtains by yoga, one achieves in Navadvipa. With every step one attains the results of great sacrifices, and by lying down and sleeping in Navadvipa, one gets the results of offering obeisances. Just by taking an ordinary meal in Navadvipa, one gets the results of eating the Lord’s remnants.

Whatever results a person can attain by performance of thousands of horse sacrifices, thousands of vajapeya sacrifices, various types of rituals and yoga exercises, can be attained ten million times over just by remembering Navadvīpa.

(Sri Navadvipa Dham Mahatmaya)

Wandering in Navadvipa is the best of all opulences, the best of all religious principles, the best of all kinds of worship, the best of all perfections, the best of all glories, and the best of all oceans of sweetness.
(Sri Navadvipa Sataka by Srila Prabhodananda Sarasvati, Text 60)
