Mayapur ISKCON temple of Lord Krishna and the story of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

The holy place of Mayapur is the headquarters of ISKCON - International Society for Krishna Consciousness. This is also the birth place of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who was devout Krishna follower and practiced Bhakti Yoga based on the philosophy of Gita. He was the man behind popularizing chanting of the Hare Krishna maha mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Mayapur is visited by over a million pilgrims annually, mostly by ISKCON members and international travelers. The main attraction place of Mayapur is the Prabhupada's Samadhi Mandir, a memorial to ISKCON's founder. Some of the images of Mayapur ISKCON temple is given here.
