Śrī Gaurāṅga Ṭola Mandira in Navadvīpa holds great spiritual significance, as it is maintained by the descendants of Śrī Viṣṇupriyā Devī. Since she had no children, she adopted her brother’s son, and his descendants now continue the service to Dhāmeśvara Śrī Gaurāṅga. The temple was once a center for Sanskrit studies and is currently led by Śrī Sudhīna Gosvāmī as the mahānta.
This temple is especially renowned for the ancient manuscript of the tenth canto of the Bhāgavata written by Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita, with Mahāprabhu’s own handwritten comments on each folio. This manuscript is still being worshiped daily alongside the deities. Sudhīna Gosvāmī kindly permitted the BRC team to digitize this invaluable manuscript, making it an invaluable treasure of the BRC. Additionally, several other Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava manuscripts from the temple’s library were digitized.
