In his place of worship in Vrindavana he would sometimes chant continuously for three days and nights without eating or sleeping. \nAfter Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura had tentatively located the appearance place of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu\, despite his advanced age Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja confirmed the location by dancing in ecstasy at the spot. His ecstatic dancing was taken as a sign of the authenticity of Mahaprabhu’s appearance place. \nThroughout his long life\, with great love Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji constantly told others about the holy name\, fame\, qualities and pastimes of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura accepted Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji as his siksha guru. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes.

He appeared in 1486 in Mayapur\, West Bengal. \nGaura Purnima provides a golden opportunity to reflect on Lord Caitanya’s mission of spreading Nama Sankirtana to every town and village\, and chant the holy names of the Lord. \nThe Holika Dahan bonfire is a ceremonial tradition performed based on the past-times of Prahlad Maharaja. The fire is meant to symbolise protection\, and the importance of faith in Lord Sri Krishna. \n\n\nDonate
