Many days later, by them mercy of Sri Gurupadpadma, we have come to Sri
Chaitanya Saraswat Math in Tarakeshwar, especially now during what Srila
Prabhupad Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur called Sri Dhama Pracharani
Sobha that takes place before Sri Gaura Purnima. It is necessary to
preach about the holy abode. It is necessary to come for the parikrama
of Nabadwip Dham. We sing in one of the kirtans:
শ্রীগৌড়মণ্ডলভূমি, যেবা জানে চিন্তামণি,
তার হয় ব্রজভূমি বাস ।
sri-gauda-mandala-bhumi yeba jane chintamani
tara haya vraja-bhume vasa
"Those who always think about Sri Nabadwip Dham, reside in Sri
Vrindavan."
Those who know Sri Nabadwip Dham reside in Sri Vrindavan Dham. Sri Nabadwip
Dham is the place where nine kinds of devotion are practised. There are nine
islands and nine kinds of devotion: sravanam, kirtanam, smaranam,
archanam, vandanam, dasyam, sakhyam, atma-nivedanam,
pada-sevanam—hearing, chanting, remembering the Lord, serving the Lord's
lotus feet, worshipping the Deity of the Lord, rendering service as a
servitor, as a friend, self-submission, and offering obeisance. It is said in
the scriptures that every single devotee must practise these kinds of
devotion. We always say: "Asat-sanga sada tyaga chhada anya gita-raga
(অসৎ-সঙ্গ সদা ত্যাগ, ছাড় অন্য গীতরাগ): give up bad association, do not listen
to the material songs and music" (Sri Prema-bhakti-chandrika, 15).
What is called sadhu-sanga and what is asat-sanga?
Sadhu-sanga (good association) means sravanam, kirtanam, smaranam,
archanam, vandanam, dasyam, sakhyam, atma-nivedanam,
pada-sevanam—hearing, chanting, remembering the Lord, serving the Lord's
lotus feet, worshipping the Deity of the Lord, rendering service as a
servitor, as a friend, self-submission, and offering obeisance—if somebody
does not practise properly at least one these practices, their association is
called bad; we must not associate with such persons. You must always practise
sravanam, kirtanam.
We do the parikrama of the nine islands of Nabadwip—you must do this
parikrama mentally every day, but you must also come and do this
parikrama once in a year. Everybody must come for Nabadwip Dham
parikrama. This year, the parikrama will be five days. It used
to be four days every year, but this year it is extended by one more day
because we did not go to Rudradwip (it is very far), we read about its
glories from far, but it is necessary to go there. It is the place of Sivji
Maharaj. We have a book Sri Nabadwip Dham Mahatmya Mukta-Mala, you can
read there about every place that we visit...
