Re: WHY THE PLACE IS NAMED EKACHAKRA DHAMA:

Dear Vaisnavas,

      Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! That is very interesting information, I had the question too. Thank you very much!

      The incident that you have mentioned is very curious and I feel very surprised to see this connection between Krishna throwing the wheel and it landing at Ekachakra. Even more curious is the fact that Ekachakra is also the place where the Pandavas escaped to from the burning house of lac. I cannot help but feel strangely curious when I read this, though I don't know why. I personally think there's a hint of Nityananda prabhu's glories in the Mahabharata by mentioning his abode.

      Ekachakra as a matter of fact, is even more hidden and confidential than the rest of Navadvipa dham. I see Swamiji's videos and there places in and around Ekachakra Dhama stands out literally in the middle of nowhere with only desolate landscape till the horizon. Even now the full glories of the place have yet to be realized. Only a few fortunate devotees can actually see the dham. As a matter of fact whenever I have visited any holy Dham like Puri and Vrindavan I have always had this feeling of being in a mysterious place hidden from view. 

      Mayapur and the surrounding places have become very revealed to the world and many are aware of it. But Ekachakra still remains hidden. As a matter of fact, the place has been almost forgotten for so long that most of the holy places there are on the verge of disappearing and Swamiji has mentioned that all of us would do very well to serve the Dhama in these times. We should all try to become qualified to serve the Dhama with the inspiration of the Gosvamis and their service to Vrindavan Dham and Bhaktivinode and Bhaktisiddhanta and their service to Navadvipa Dham.

       Bhakta Igor's prayers to Ekachakra Dham are truly amazing realisations. I request one go through them all. All glories to the abode of Nitaai!

Daasadaaso'smi,
Srinath
