SRI SRI NITYANANDA MAHAPRABHU was the incarnate of the concept of love that originated in Lord Sri Chaitanya, the eternal messiah. He was among the foremost of the league of illustrious men who had deepest sympathy and love for humanity. The divine and revolutionary philosophy of NITYANANDA saved the society from the crisis it faced. He made people cross the barrier of colour, creed, cast and united them with the knowledge, that all are the children of the Divine (Amrit). He had spontaneous love for each and everybody. He never discriminated while providing benevolence. The world will become a better place when we imbibe the spirit of NITYANANDA. The distinguished leader of mankind was born in the village of Ekchakra, P.S. Mayureswar (Sub- div Rampurhat ) in the district of Birbhum , West Bengal to a pious Brahmin family. NITYANANDA' S father Mukunda Bandyopadhyay was popularly known as Harai Pandit. His ancestral house was just beside the Sasthitala. The chronology of his family goes like as follows (1) Kshitish (2) Bhattanarayana Chaturvedi (3) Adibaraha (4) Bainateya (5) Subuddhi (6) Bibudhesh (7) Guha (8) Gangadhar (9) Suhas (10) Shakuni (Gaighar Bandyo) (11) Maheswar Bandyopadhyay (Kulin) (12) Mahadev (13) Tiku (14) Nengul (15) Mihir Maladhar (16) Bhaskar (17) Pushkar (18) Shristidhar (19) Maladhar (20) Brishaketu (21) Chandraketu (22) Nakri (Popularly known as Murari or Sundaramalla)
At a later date the village came to be known as Ekchakra Garvabas in his honour. The village has since been regarded worldwide by the puritans as the womb of benevolence and love and as the foremost holy place for one & all. This Web site is a small effort to throw light on the glory of Ekchakra.
