Simantadvipa – una de las nueve islas de Navadvipa, también conocida como Simuliya. Está situada al este del Bhagirathi y al norte de Jalangi, y limita al sur con Navadvipa. Este lugar personifica la práctica devocional de sravanam, escuchar las glorias de los nombres, las formas, las cualidades y los pasatiempos de Sri Krishna. En Satya-yuga Parvati adoró aquí a Sri Gauranga aconsejada por su esposo el Señor Siva. Cuando Gauranga apareció ante ella, ella tomó el polvo de Sus pies y lo colocó en la partición de su cabello (simanta). Como resultado de ello, este lugar se conoce como Simantadvipa.

Simantadvipa is the second island of Sri Navadwipa Dham. It embodies the devotional mellow of sravanam, hearing

about the pastimes of the Lord. Before and during the appearance of Lord Caitanya this area was called Simulia. This is where Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu delivered Chand Kazi, the Muslim magistrate.

This area contains Vishnunagar, Rajapur, Sen Danga, some portions of Vamanpukur, Kasthasali and some other places.

Story of Simantadvipa

One time in Satya yuga, Lord Siva was madly dancing and chanting the names of Gauranga. Parvati asked him, “Who was Gauranga? By seeing you dancing and hearing the names of Gauranga my heart is melting.” Siva then told her that Krishna will descend during Kali yuga in Mayapur, in the womb of Saci Devi. Lord Gauranga will distribute the jewel of love of Godhead to everyone without discrimination. I will live on the bank of the Ganges in a hut and worship Gauranga.

Parvati then went to Simantadvipa and meditated on Gauranga and chanted his name. After some time Lord Caitanya appeared with his associates to give His mercy to Parvati. He asked Parvati why she had come there. She told him that He had appointed her to bind all the living entities in the material world who were averse to Him. She told Him, “people say that where ever Krishna appears there will be no maya. I am therefore forced to remain outside of Your spiritual domain.” She asked to be able to see His pastimes.

Parvati then put the dust from Lord Caitanya’s feet on her simanta (the part in the hair). This is how this place got the name Simantadvipa. (más)
