Here is my response to question of Sri Advaita Das ji about JhanjPitha Math which may be useful to member here.


Jay Nitai,

Just to answer Advaita Das Jis question, JhanjhPitha Matha is near the Puri Temple. From the Main Entrance of Puri Temple in the opposite direction the main road which goes to Beach directly, the math is right on that road and 3-4 mintes by walk from Puri temple. It is very important Math for Gaudiya since it has the seva of Sri Narattama Das Thakur's deity. This math is also linked to Puri Temple since they conduct the deva and participate many rituals of Jagannatha Deva as per current custom. Only few Math asre entitled to do that for Jagannatha Deve. ( We have Seva of Sriman Mahaprabhu Lotus Feet Imprint Mandir which is located inside Puri Temple just back side of Jagannatha Deva and JanhPitha Matha is responsible for That. )

For your information Sri Radharaman Charan Das Deva took initiative by the help of then Maharaja of Puri to established the temple of Mahaprabus Lotus feet imprint which was present right besides Gaduda Stambha of Jagananatha Deva where GauraKishori used to have Darshan of his Pranaballava.That footprint on the stone was getting neglected in absence of proper care and Sri Radaraman Charan Das Dev worked with Maharaja of Puri to get that stone placed inside a new Mandir within the Temple of Puri.

Beside Naratama Das Thakur's deity one of the unique feature of Jhanjpita Matha is it has seva and Deity of Sri Achutananda Prabhu the foremost Gaur Bhakta from Advaita vamsa.
