By the mercy of Sri Gurupadpadma, we have done the parikrama of Sri Vrindavan Dham, Sri Govardhan as well as Jaipur, Kuruksetra and Karauli, in the association of devotees. We have got an opportunity to receive the darshan of many places. Our pilgrimage went well. Despite some difficulties and tiredness, everybody did this parikrama properly.
Generally, Sri Gaura Mandal parikrama (Sri Nabadwip Dham parikrama) is very important for the newcomer devotees (kanistha-adhikaris). After that, when you have made some progress in your spiritual life, Sri Purusottam Ksetra parikrama (Sri Jagannath Dham) is very good. Sri Vrindavan and Govardhan parikrama are for those who belong to a higher class.
So, Sri Nabadwip Dham parikrama is very important.
গৌর আমার, যে সব স্থানে,
করল ভ্রমণ রঙ্গে ।
সে সব স্থান, হেরিব আমি,
প্রণয়ি-ভকত-সঙ্গে ॥
gaura amara, ye saba sthane,
karala bhramana range
se saba sthana, heriba ami,
pranayi-bhakata-sange
‘In the company of loving devotees, I behold all the places my Gaura visited during His pastimes.’
(Saranagati, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur)
We always visit in the company of devotees all the places that Gaura went to. We visit both the places that were visited by Sriman Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu...
Many devotees have already left – some left this morning and some left this evening. Tomorrow, the rest of us will be leaving, too. Those who came here from Howrah will be leaving tomorrow in the morning.
The problem is that you are leaving, going back to your homes and you will forget everything. Your train is tomorrow, but you are thinking already today about your wives, somebody is thinking about their husbands, sons, daughters or grandchildren. Is that not so? You are always remembering only them, always thinking, 'When am I going to meet them again?' You become restless, anxious to meet them again. But they are not your relatives, they are not your near and dear ones. Your relatives, your near and dear ones, are your guru, Vaishnavs and the Lord. But you are leaving them and going back to the illusory world. Going back to the world of Maya, you will again forget the Lord. You will not even remember how you spent these few days here... It feels like it was ekadasi only yesterday, and the day after tomorrow it is ekadasi again. We did not notice the time go by.
It is my very humble prayer to you all that you may always live in the association of the Lord, guru and Vaishnavs and always listen to Hari-katha, always remember the Lord. We must pray to the Lord that each and every day in our lives, from birth to death, may pass like this – that we may always remember the Lord and that we may forget the world of Maya. If you can always circumambulate holy places in the company of devotees and always meet with devotees, you will get spiritual benefit. If you are fortunate, you can later again meet with them in Goloka Vrindavan after death. But if your fortune is bad, then you will have to reap the result of your karma – you will have to come back to flounder in this material world.

| 'Gurudev told me, 'The day after Gaura Purnima, you will sit together at Vishva Vaishnava Raja-Sabha,' and it is my duty to do that. We have come here to be together, and everyone can speak their own language, if it can be translated into English and Bengali, that is good for the mission.' |

“Examine yourself, 'Is the taste for Hari-katha, Krishna-katha coming to me or do I think more about other things?'” | |
