The last day of Sri Nabadwip Dham Parikrama began with stormy showers in the early morning that continued until the afternoon. Despite the rain and cold the devotees proceeded happily with the parikrama, but once reaching the Temple of Sri Sri Gaura Gadadhar in Champahati, were called back by Srila Gurudev, who was anxious that they would not become ill by walking in the rain. After a programme and breakfast Prasadam the devotees returned to the Math.

Later on that day, Srila Gurudev spontaneously decided to come and speak to the pilgrims in the nat mandir.

Srila Gurudev began his lecture by reminding us of our great fortune and great opportunity.

"Srila Guru Maharaj and the Lord are so merciful. Sri Krishna, Mahaprabhu Chaitanyadev, Nityananda Prabhu are so merciful to us, they have given us the opportunity to do Parikrama of Nabadwip Dham, otherwise it was not possible... Jivera svarupa haya Krsnera nitya das, Krsnera tatastha-sakti bhedabheda-prakasa. All the jiva-souls are really servitors of Sri Krishna. This is the real identity of every jiva-soul. But they are forgetting. They are polluted by the illusory environment; it is called mahamaya. And we are seeing that: anything in our behavior and in what we are doing, we cannot avoid that association of mahamaya. But we are steady to avoid it and want to clean our own self from the illusory environment. And it is possible. Bhagavan Chaitanyadev said, 'Chant the Holy Name of Lord Krishna!' So many Names appear in this material world, and by the grace of Lord Krishna with any of the Holy Names you can clean your own self.
