Sata-koti-nama-yajna

Information – Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupada established the Rudradvipa Gaudiya Math at this place in 1936. The deity of Gauranga Mahaprabhu that Srila Prabhupada served while performing the hundred crores (sata-koti) nama yajna, is present here. On 7th March, 1936, during the Navadvipa Parikrama, Srila Prabhupada installed the deities of Gaura-Radha Madhava.

Information –
During 1905, at age thirty-one, Sri Siddhanta Sarasvati took a vow to chant daily at least three lakh holy names, and monthly at least ten million, until he had chanted one billion names. He chanted on a japa-mala given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who had himself used them to fulfill a vow of chanting a billion holy names. Sri Siddhanta Sarasvati’s sata-koti-nama-yajna, which he performed before a deity of Lord Caitanya, lasted just over nine years and four months and was punctuated by much struggle, and several colorful incidents, including attempts to oust him from Mayapur. Yet he was determined to continue service there, no matter what. Śrī Siddhānta Sarasvatī cleared an overgrown area at the Yogapīṭha and made a grass hut, in which he lived from 1905 to 1909 amid his many books and manuscripts.

In February 1909 Śrī Siddhānta Sarasvatī built a small brick cottage at the location of the house of Śrī Candraśekhara Ācārya, an uncle of Lord Caitanya. Situated about a quarter mile north of the Yogapīṭha, this area was later revealed by Śrī Siddhānta Sarasvatī as Vrajapattana, the “town of Vraja” as discovered by him there, where Lord Caitanya had performed dramas of Kṛṣṇa’s Vraja-līlā. In this spot Śrī Siddhānta Sarasvatī remained absorbed in bhajana, visualizing it as non-different from the bank of Rādhā-kuṇḍa.
