But the greatest shock came when the dacoits decided to steal the Deities of Srila Prabhupada and Srimati Radharani. They harassed the devotees and treated them with derision. On the 24th of March, 1984, at 12.20 a.m., thirty-five dacoits armed with weapons and bombs attacked Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir. The story below is reproduced ‘as such’ from the Mayapur journal based on experiences of HG Atma Tattva Prabhu (ACBSP) The story of how Lord Narasimhadeva came to Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir is really flabbergasting to know. The appearance of Lord Narasimhadeva in ISKCON Sri Mayapur itself is an act of ‘Maya’ of the Supreme Lord. ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) established their centre in the 1970s thus transforming the whole place. The atmosphere here is very serene and fills your mind with peace. Chants of Hare Krishna, reverberates the air of this place with devotees dancing and singing in ecstasy. Mayapur holds a special place in the heart of the Gaudiya Vaishnaviites as it is the place where in 1486 AD, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu regarded as an incarnation of lord Krishna was born. Krishna Devotees consider this place as pious as Mathura or Vrindavana. Mayapur Dham is one of the nine islands of Navadweep and is situated 130 km north of Kolkata. It is at the point of the confluence of Ganga with the Jalangi. Mayapur, a very holy and sacred place is located on the banks of the Ganges river.
