Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Visit to Pandharpur

Lord Caitanya Visited Pandharpur while on a journey through South India, apparently to search for His sannyasi brother, Sankararanya, formerly known as Visvarupa.

After traveling down the east coast of India through the province of Tamil Nadu and up the west coast through Kerala and Karnataka, Caitanya Mahaprabhu entered Maharashtra. As stated in the Caitanya-caritamrta (Madhya 9.282–283), the Lord went to Pandharpur, where He happily saw the Deity of Lord Vitthala and chanted and danced.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder-acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, was born in 1896, in Calcutta, in a Vaisnava family. His father, Gour Mohan De, named him Abhay Charan. His father’s only wish was that, Abhay would become a devotee of Srimati Radharani.

The Krishna Consciousness movement is based on this principle chant Hare Krishna as much as possible, and distribute prasadam.

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

Pandharpur Dhama is located in South-eastern Maharashtra and is known for the worship of Lord Vitthala.

Great Saint Tukaram Says, “O Lord!, just give me one benediction, that I may always be able to bathe in the holy river Chandrabhaga.
