Mayapur

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Appearance Day

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born in Mayapur in the town of Nadia, just after sunset on the evening of the 23rd Phalguna 1407 Shakabda, corresponding to February 18th, 1486 of the Christian Era. The moon was eclipsed at the time of His birth, and the people of Nadia were then engaged, as usual on such occasions, in bathing in the Bhagirathi (Ganges River) with loud cheers of “Haribol!” His father, Jagannath Mishra, was a poor Brahmana (priest) of the Vedic order, and His mother Sachidevi was a woman of ideal character. Both descended from Brahmana families originally residing in Sylhet.

Misunderstanding about two different version of Dhanvantari mantra

We want to clarify to everyone that, there was a misunderstanding about two different version of Dhanvantari mantra:

We just would like to say that the following is the mantra - is the correct version that we request devotees to chant:

oṁ namo bhagavate 
vāsudevāya dhanvantaraye
amṛta-kalaśa hastāya,
sarvāmaya vināśanāya, 
trailokya nāthāya 
śrī mahāviṣṇave namaḥ
