History of Shri Shri Chaushatti Mahant Samaj Mandir (Rangji Ka Nagla):

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his classmates arrived at Vrindavan about 500 years ago and delivered sermons at a location nowadays known as Chaushat Mahant ke Samaj Badi.

At this location, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his 64 disciples ‘panchtatva’ are placed here, also known as ‘Asana’. Devotees visit to pay obeisance.

Phalgun Purnima is the time for the festival. Devotees arrive in large numbers and sing bhajans and kirtans.

The location is under the Shri Shri Radha Govind Dev Temple, Vrindavan.

Monkey with Stolen Slipper in Vrindavan – This photo was taken at the entrance gate of Nidhivan in Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh).

The best thing about monkeys is that they never steal both slippers. Only after feeding them with bananas or food or frooti, they give back whatever is stolen by them – slippers or spectacles, or whatever. And if you are late to know about your stolen item, then sorry, because many times they operate on what they have stolen and make it useless.

Please take care of your belongings all I can suggest is if you are touring Vrindavan or a location having lots of monkeys.

Janeu (Sacred Thread) is worn both by bachelors as well as married men.

Three-thread Janeu is worn by bachelors (ब्रह्मचारी), and Six-thread (3 for Husband +3 for Wife = 6) is worn by married men.
