The happiest days of my life

By Shyam Priya Devi Dasi

The Navadipa Mandala parikrama is the perfect place for the devotees who want an intense spiritual experience mixed with a lot of fun. A walking festival…. that’s parikrama !

Just see the beauty of Navadvipa, the world’s most sacred land !

There is chanting, kirtana all day,
There are narrations of transcendental lilas at every holy spot,
There ‘s bathing in holy places, in many kundas and of course in Mother Ganga.

If you are energetic and love walking, singing and dancing, there is no better place.
If you like feasting, the prasad is amazing and there’s loads of fruits for those who have a restricted diet.

My time on the Navadvipa Parikrama :
The happiest days of my life.
The most spiritual days of my life.
The most visually exciting days of my life.

Walk, chant, get purified, and go back to Godhead!
