Jayapataka Swami: The places that a pure devotee visits, or that where he has some pastimes or that he has installed some deities, are called are Śrīpāṭs, they are like mini dhāmas. 1 ½ miles radius around them is purified. But we know that in Vṛndāvana and in Māyāpur, the Gaura-maṇḍala-bhūmiis 168 miles and Navadvīpa dhāma is like 30 miles. Similarly, the Vṛndāvana dhāma is one size and Vraja-maṇḍala is big, like 168 miles. So, it takes a month to visit all the places of Vraja-maṇḍala, and so far, no one has attempted to visit all the places in Gaura-maṇḍala. So, we are publishing a book so that devotees,if they want, they can do so. Like, Gītā-Nāgarī, New Vṛndāvana, New Pānihāṭi dhāma, that place is a holy place. But having all the devotees meet together in the dhāma, it has multiple benefits. First is visiting the holy dhāma, we see how that devotees from all over, from Russia, China, Europe, America, South America, Africa, Australasia, South East Asia, so in this way we can see, how we are one big worldwide family! The United Nations of the Spiritual World! Haribol!
