Unofficial Navadvīpa Parikramā 2026

Jaya Śacīnandana Gaurahari! Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! Jaya Śrīla Gurudeva!

Note: This page will be updated soon with a detailed schedule and resources like kīrtanas, Navadvīpa-dhāma-māhātmya excerpts, and more.

Dear devotees,

Please accept our humble praṇāmas.

For the past three years, our small team has organized a humble, unofficial Navadvīpa-dhāma Parikramā. We started this for the pleasure of our Śrīla Gurudeva, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja.

It is open to devotees from all saṅgas who wish to perform parikramā in an intimate setting where we can hear, chant, and touch the dust of the dhāma together. 👣

✨ What to Expect

This is a week-long journey through the pastime places of the nine islands of Navadvīpa. Our focus is on:

Nagara-saṅkīrtana through the local villages.
Bhajanas and harikathā at the sacred sites.
Reading and hearing from Navadvīpa-dhāma Māhātmya at prominent locations.

📅 The Details

Dates: February 23 – March 1 (Starts 2 days after the Bhaktivinoda Retreat; ends one day before Gaura Pūrṇimā).
Starting time: from Mayapur at 5:30 AM (Starting early to avoid the midday heat).
Finishing time: 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Transport: Mostly walking, with occasional totos for long stretches (cost shared daily).
Prasādam: Breakfast is arranged and provided each day.
