Vaikunthapura
- Lord Narayana personally guided Sri Ramanuja to Vaikunthapura and mercifully revealed His transcendental form, served by Sri, Bhu, and Nila.
Mahatpura
- While in exile, the five Pandavas, headed by Yudhisthira resided with Draupadi for some time in this forest. They brought Vyasadeva here and heard him speak the Gaura Purana. And they performed intensive worship of Gauranga here.

“Do I find joy in serving without seeking recognition?”
Quote of the Day
I offer my respectful obeisances unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda, who are like the sun and moon. They have arisen simultaneously on the horizon of Gauḍa to dissipate the darkness of ignorance and thus wonderfully bestow benediction upon all.
— (CC Adi 1.2)
