13.5 Crore Naamsankirtan Mahamahotsav: A Path to Shri Golok Dham

The 13.5 crore Naamjap is a sacred spiritual practice involving the collective chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Rooted in the belief that chanting 13.5 crore Harinaams (holy names of Shri Radha Krishna) in one’s lifetime guarantees liberation and entry into Shri Golok Dham—the eternal abode of Shri Radha Krishna—this practice is derived from ancient spiritual texts, notably mentioned in Gita Press’s Kalyan.

To provide devotees an opportunity to accomplish this monumental spiritual task, Shri Leela Rasik Ji Maharaj and Dr. Shri Krishna Kinkar ji, under the blessings of Jagadguru Shri Priyadarshi Ji Maharaj, initiated the *13.5 Crore Naamsankirtan Mahamahotsav*. First held in 2019 and again in 2022, this unique event enables participants to collectively complete 13.5 crore Harinaam Jaap within just 7 days. The Mahotsav has been designed as a structured, communal experience where the combined chanting efforts of devotees make this otherwise lifetime goal attainable in a short span.

How is 13.5 Crore Naamsankirtan Achieved?

Each day, more than 500 devotees gather to chant the Mahamantra for 7 hours. Every chant consists of 16 Naams, and the combined total across 7 days exceeds 13.5 crore, fulfilling the aim of the event. This collective chanting amplifies the spiritual power of the Harinaam and is believed to bring immense blessings to all participants.

Invitation to the 2025 Mahamahotsav

We are pleased to announce the third 13.5 Crore Naamsankirtan Mahamahotsav, which will take place in May 2025. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for devotees worldwide to come together and be part of this transformative spiritual journey. Attending this Mahamahotsav allows you to experience deep spiritual fulfillment while advancing on the path to Shri Golok Dham.
Join us in May 2025 and take part in this sacred event to chant, connect, and immerse yourself in the divine names of Shri Radha Krishna.

Shri Krishna Charit Manas (Rasayan Mahakavya) was manifested by Anant Shri Vibhushit Jagadguru Priyadarshi ji Maharaj in 1964 (Samvat 2021), guided by the divine influence of Shri Banke Bihari Lal Ji & Shri Radha Rani.

This granth is an ocean full of Shri Radha Krishna’s Lilas (tales) with their devotees. Akin to Shri Ram Charit Manas, Shri Krishna Charit Manas is twice its size. Written in a similar format, it is divided into 7 Kaands consisting of Dohas & Choupais. Its Akhand Path (at a stretch) takes about 48-50 hours to complete.

It delves into profound quests such as: Who is Radha Krishna? What is the Eternal Element? What is the purpose of human life? Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of Sadhana through practice and detachment from the material world by channeling one’s mind’s focus and how they can attain their ultimate spiritual goal of Shri Golok Dham.

Shri Priya Priyatam Dham, nestled in the heart of Vrindavan, was established in the year 2000 under the auspices of Jagadguru Shri Priyadarshi ji Maharaj’s blessings. Serving as the abode of Shri Priya Priyatam Lal Ju, this sacred place beckons all seekers of Bhakti and devotion to Lord Radha Krishna.

The Ashram stands as a beacon of compassion, hosting various charitable endeavors such as free medical camps, Gau seva (cow welfare), and distribution of free food and drinking water to the public, along with contributions to weddings of the underprivileged. Since its inception, the recitation of Shri Krishna Charit Manas Rasayan Mahakavya has been a daily ritual, inviting devotees to bask in its divine verses. Devotees are warmly welcomed to dwell in the serenity of the Ashram, partake in uplifting Satsangs, and immerse themselves in the eternal essence of Radha Krishna.

Bade Maharaj ji has bestowed his blessings upon the Ashram, proclaiming: “प्रिया प्रियतम को धाम अभिराम, सभी को पूर्ण काम करेगा।” This signifies that the serene abode of Shri Priya Priyatam Lal Ju will fulfill all the spiritual aspirations of seekers, guiding them towards attaining the sacred realm of Shri Golok Dham.
