NABADWIP DHAM PARIKRAMA 2003
EKACHAKRA:
Sri Ekachakra is the glorious appearance place of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. Just look at the
sublime and serene beauty of this place! The sounds of modernization are not heard here,
only birds singing, cows mooing and breezes blowing. Ekachakra does not even have
electricity at present. It is uncontaminated by modern civilization and remains pure and
pristine in every respect. Ekachakra is situated in the district of Birbhum, quite near to
Burdwan. It is located eight miles east of Mallarapur rail station and eleven miles north of
Rampurhaat rail station.
Without pride or false prestige, one should unhesitatingly fall down into the dust of this
sacred and hallowed land. Few devotees achieve the good fortune to attain Ekachakra.
Roll in the dust! Laugh! Cry! Sing and dance in ecstasy, for one who has come on
pilgrimage to Ekachakra has received rare and confidential mercy.
Srila Gaura Kishora das Babaji Maharaj used to like to sing the following verse: Nitai Gaura
Krishna Prema Radhe Radhe, Nitai Gaura Krishna Prema Radhe Radhe, for by receiving
Nitai's mercy one can receive Gauranga's mercy. By Gauranga's mercy, one is eligible for
Krishna prema, and receiving Krishna prema, one can attain the association of the gopis
and Srimati Radharani.
When a fortunate living entity receives the mercy of Nitaicandra, he is automatically
eligible to enter Gaura lila. Once one enters Gaura lila, he soon receives Krishna prema.
And once he receives Krishna prema, he becomes simultaneously qualified to render loving
devotional service in both Sri Navadwip Dham as well as Sri Vrindavan Dham. So always
take shelter of Nitaicandra! By receiving His mercy one is assured of reaching the desired
goal. Gaura Premanande!
