Śrīla Prabhupāda instructed, “If you are actually serious about going back to home, back to Godhead, then please seek after the mercy of Nityānanda.” Inspired by this instruction, the Mayapur Master Plan Office is delighted to introduce the Virtual Pilgrimage to Ekacakrā Dhāma, the sacred birthplace of Lord Nityānanda. This initiative allows devotees around the world to explore holy places, offer prayers and connect with the boundless mercy of Lord Nityānanda at their own time and pace, throughout the year.

Discover the Holy Places of Ekacakrā-dhāma

“The ocean of mercy, the giver of devotional service, and the shelter of all Vaiṣṇavas, Śrī Nityānanda Rāma, appeared in Rāḍha-deśa. At the time of Nityānanda’s appearance, all the demigods secretly showered flowers and chanted, “Jaya! Jaya!” From that day on, the land of Rāḍha began to prosper and signs of auspiciousness became visible”(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata Ādi-khaṇḍa 2.40-2.42).
