Śrī Nṛsiṁhadeva Temple
Close to Kṣetrapāla Śiva is a temple of Śrī Nṛsiṁhadeva, who destroys obstacles on the path of devotion, and nearby are the deities of Śrī Gaura-Gadādhara.
In Vṛndāvana, Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa and Śrī Śyāma-kuṇḍa are supremely glorious. Similarly, in Navadvīpa, which is non different from Vṛndāvana, Śrī Gaura-kuṇḍa in Māyāpura is matchlessly glorious. The devotees of Śrī Gaurasundara bathe and perform ācamana in this pond, and thus they taste the sweetness of Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Many exalted person alities, expert in bhajana, perform their worship here.
Vṛddha-Śiva, or Śiva-ḍovā
Vṛddha-Śiva is located on the bank of the Gaṅgā south of the Yogapīṭha. In Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s time there was a temple of Vṛddha-Śiva here, but the temple has since disappeared in the Gaṅgā’s flow. At that place, which is now known as Śiva-ḍovā, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu gave Śrī Jiva Gosvāmī darśana of Vṛddha-Śiva.
Mahāprabhu-ghāṭa
Mahāprabhu-ghāṭa was situated near the Yogapīṭha, six yards north of Vṛddha-Śiva. These ghāṭas no longer exist, having been submerged by the Gaṅgā. Here Nimāī, as a young boy and as a scholar, used to bathe in the Gaṅgā and perform water-sports. Just as the Yamunā witnessed Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes, the Gaṅgā received the good fortune to delight in Nimāī’s pastimes.
