Mayapur, Nadia (West Bengal) Temples Visit - Dec'16

28th Dec'16:

On this fine morning around 6 A.M., Madhan Adhikari picked up me & my parents from Vivekananda Kutir to Mayapur via Kalna. It was a memorable journey in the chill climate, had breakfast at Kalna & got to visit Chand Kazi Samadhi around 9.30 A.M.

At Chand Kazi Samadhi

Chand Kazi Samadhi
Chand Kazi's village is none other than Mathura. The stone samadhi of Chand Kazi has two trees growing out of it. The champaka tree is said to represent Chand Kazi & the Neem tree around the champaka tree is said to represent Lord Nimai (Chaitanya). There is a belief that by seeing this samadhi, one is released from old age & death. 

After seeing this samadhi, visited Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu's Birth place at Mayapur.
