Appreciating Navadwip Dham

Seeing Navadwip

“Only by attaining proper qualification can the senses of the living entities taste the spiritual nectar of these dhāmas, Vṛndāvana and Navadvīpa. Unqualified material senses, instead of tasting nectar, scornfully deride these holy places as trifling bits of dull matter. Since the cause of qualification is the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, coming through the mercy of the devotees, the living entities should seek out the association of the pure devotees of the Lord.

“Only by means of devotional faith and by the association of the devotees of the Lord can one overcome the prison of the material world. The very moment that the senses of the living entity give up material illusion, the eyes will see the splendor of the spiritual dhāma. Oh! When will I attain that state? When will I see Śrī Navadvīpa Dhāma transcending the bounds of material existence? More cooling than the soothing rays of ten million moons, more effulgent than the brilliance of ten million suns, when will that Dhāma appear before my eyes?” (NBT)
