Shri 5 Navatanpuri Dham, Jamnagar , Gujarat (India) is considered as the main pilgrim center of the Shri Krishna Pranami Dharma. Earlier kwown as Nawanagar, it is in Jamnagar, Saurahstra, of Gujarat. It was established by Jam Raval in 1653 A.D. (V.S.1596). When Shyama-form Shri Devchandraji left home in his childhood in search of self-enlightenment, after travelling through different places, came here only and attained his goal. He listened to the Srimad Bhagavat for 14 years continuously, and drank deeply the Essence of Krishna Lila. As a result, he was blessed with the vision of Purna Brahma Shri Krishna, who addressed him as 'Nijananda'. Shri Krishna introduced Himself, and bestowed the Maha-Mantra (or, Tartam Mantra) on him, by which his soul awakened. He was inspired by Shri Krishna to awaken other souls also, which he did, Traditionally, even today, devotees are initiated into this Mantra through a Guru. One day, when Shri Devchandraji was describing the Yamuna in Paramdham, his disciples expressed their desire to bathe in it. Instantaneously, Nijananda Swami materialised the Yamuna waters there, and the disciples had a hearty bath in it. It is present there even today. Once Acharya planted two tooth-cleaning sticks on the ground, after brushing his teeth, which grew into 2 huge trees over a period of time. Even today, after 400 years, they are still there, and are called Khijada (Sami) trees. That is why the temple is also called Khijada Mandir. Shri Devchadraji established the Najananda Sampradaya here only. By visiting Navtanpuri, people consider their lives purified from all sins. >>> Back to Top<<<
Shri 5 Maha Managlpuri Dham, Surat, Gujrat (India): Surat is a famous city in Gujarat. In early days it was a prominent trade center. It was leading even in the field of education and knowledge. There were many prominent scholars staying here. Shri Prannathji spent 17 months in Surat, preaching the teachings of his Guru. He subdued eminent Vedantic scholars Bheem Bhatt and Shyam Bhatt, in discussions over religious scriptures and knowledge, who later became his disciples. Thousands of men and women followed suit and became his disciples, and many of them wanted to remain with him drinking the nectar of his divine words, day and night. Swamiji named them 'Sundar Sath'. It was in Surat that Shri Prannathji was offered the throne of leadership (Gadi), and his disciples adorned him with the title, 'Mahamati Swami Prannathji'. Since this auspicious work was performed here, the institution here came to be known as Shri 5 Maha Mangalpuri Dham. Thousands of devotees visit this place in Saiyadpura, and it is popularly known as 'Mota Mandir'. Mahamati's Jagni-Abhiyan commenced from here in the year 1672 A.D. (V.S. 1729) >>>Back to Top<<<

Shri 5 Padmavatipuri Dham, Panna, M.P (India): Panna is the place, where Mahamati Shri Prannathji first met the brave king Chhatrasal of Bundel Khand. Shri Prannathji blessed Chhatrasal, and gifted him the sword, which was called Jalpukar. With the help of this sword, Chhatrasal was able to easily defeat the Mughal soldiers in and around Mhow. Shri Prannathji also blessed the land of Panna to yield diamonds, which gave Chhatrasal the wealth-power to confront the tyrant Aurangazeb. Wishing to establish a new Panna on Vindhyachal mountain range Shri Prannathji chose a plane-even land, which he saw from an altitude, and hoisted a flag "Shreejika Jhanda" there with his own hands. That flag can be seen even today. Shri Prannathji remained in Panna for eleven years, and left his body for the Supreme Abode also here only. The place is known as Muktipeetha, and the temple established there is called Padmavatipuri Dham. >>>Back to Top<<<
