Sri Hapaniya Dham:
Deity Installation Anniversary
10 March 2015
Devotees visit Sri Hapaniya Dham three times every year—at Radhastami (because it is considered nondifferent from Varshana, the birthplace of Srimati Radharani), at Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj's appearance (because it is his very birthplace), and at Gaura Purnima (the anniversary of the Deity installation). The Temple is located in quiet village surroundings, a thirty-forty-minute drive away from Sri Nabadwip Dham.
Devotees come by two buses—one for the Indian devotees, and one for
the Western devotees.
The very first stop on the way to the temple, and just outside the temple,
is a small nat mandir at Lord Siva's temple where Srila Guru Maharaj would
first start sankirtan as a small boy in the company of his friends.
The Deity of Lord Siva that Guru Maharaj as a young boy would worship
daily with lotus flowers.
The nat mandir and the Siva temple just outside the temple.
After the devotees pay their obeisance and circumambulate the temple, they
make a short parikrama around
the premises, visiting a Tulasi mancha
where Srila Guru Maharaj's father was taken after his demise, and also
remembering the Shanti Sarovar pond situated a little further from the
place that was made
in honour of the late spouse of Srila Guru
Maharaj.
Some living quarters and the prasadam hall (on the second floor).
Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj, Srila B.V. Trivikram Maharaj, and Sripad Yudhamanyu Prabhu Seva Vikram.
Rana Krishna Prabhu and Krishna Kanta Prabhu at the bookstall.
Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Radha Gopinath Jiu, whose installation anniversary
everybody came to celebrate.
