This is spoken by Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu Himself. 21/2/76 MÄYÄPUR – LECTURE, APPEARANCE DAY of HIS DIVINE GRACE ÇRÉLA BHAKTISIDDHÄNTA SARAATÉ GOSVÄMÉ PRABHUPÄDA Today, the auspicious day of our predecessor spiritual master, Oà Viñëupäda Paramahaàsa Parivräjakäcärya Añöottara-çata Çrémad Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura Prabhupäda. Çréla Bhaktisidd hänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura’s mission. Apart from his life, we are especially stressing on the mission of Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura. This place, Mäyäpur, was for- merly known as Miyapura. Mostly it is inhabited by the Muhammadans. Some way or oth- er it converted into the name of Miyapura instead of Mäyäpur. Still, people are very much doubtful where is the birth site of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. And Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura was researching to find out the actual place. So under the direction of Jagannätha däsa Bäbäjé Mahäräja, this present Yogapéöha was ascertained to be the birth site of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. So Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura in the beginning wanted to develop this place very gloriously, befitting the holy name of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. So he started this movement of developing Mäyäpur. He could not finish it, so it was handed down to Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Öhäkura. So under his effort, assisted by his disciples, this place has gradually developed, and our attempt is also to develop this place. Therefore we have named this temple Mäyäpur Candrodaya. We have got great ambition to develop this place nicely and glori- ously, and fortunately we are now connected with foreign countries, especially with the Americans. Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura’s great desire was that the Americans would come here and develop this place and they would chant and dance along with the Indians. So his dream as well as Caitanya Mahäprabhu’s foretelling, påthivéte äche yata nagarädi gräma sarvatra pracära haibe mora näma . So Caitanya Mahäprabhu desired that all Indians to take part.
