20230223 NMP Day 1 Addressing Namahatta B Group Parikrama Party Belpukur

The following is a Navadvīpa Maṇḍala Parikramā address given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Maharāja on February 23rd 2023 at the Belpukur Śrī Śrī Madana Gopāla Temple.

Hare Kṛṣṇa! Belpukur Madana Gopāla Mandir. Nīlāmbara Cakravartī Ṭhākura, father of Śacīmātā lived here. The Deities which Śacīmātā used to worship are still here. They are about 1400 years old. And the present pūjārī is a descendant of Śacīmātā’s ancestry. The worship of this Deity is going on even now. The pūjārī has taken dīkṣā from me. And Kīrtana Priya dāsa, he comes and does worship at the right times. Here special worship of Kṛṣṇa takes place and if you all wish you can give some donation. And different developments have been performed in this temple by the Bhaktivedanta Charity Trust. Hare Kṛṣṇa!
