The significance of this place, which is a part of nine Islands called, Navadvip is that, this is the birthplace of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who appeared 500 years ago. Lord Chaitanya has come into this world to spread the Holy name, Hare Krishna Mantra which is especially meant for Kali yuga.
And, the yuga dharma for this age is the name sankirtana or congregational chanting of the holy name. The form of Lord Chaitanya who is none other than Radha and Krishna combined and taken the form of a devotee and Lord Nityananda who is an associate of Lord Chaitanya is none other than Lord Balaram.It is said that, what ever little devotional activity you perform in Mayapur and Navadvip will give you unlimited spiritual benefits. It is said that here, every word is a song and every step is a dance.
