Where Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati chanted one billion holy names (Album of photos)
Indradyumna Swami: One Billion Holy Names!
Yesterday I returned to Mayapura from Africa. Bright and early this morning I and several devotees went on parikrama beginning from Yogapith, where Lord Caitanya appeared. Walking through villages, fields, and forests we visited the bhajan-kutir of Jayadeva Goswami, the Madan Gopal temple and a large banyan tree where Mahaprabhu gave darshan to Nimbarka Acarya. But my favorite place of all was where Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati chanted one billion names of Krsna on his japa beads before starting his preaching mission. As we chanted japa there I prayed for “nama-ruci” – a genuine taste for chanting the holy names. I also prayed for more service in delivering the holy names to others, as I know such service gives great pleasure to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati and my own beloved spiritual master, Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami.
