Sri Nityananda was born on Shukla Trayodashi, in the month of Magha, in the year 1473 A.D.12th Feb. (Shakabda 1395). Like the Sun that enlightens the world from his chariot The Ekchakra, Mahaprabhu Sri Nityananda filled the world with His fountain of love and benevolence from this Ekchakra. Ishan Nagar in his book Adwaita Prakasha, Narahari Chakrabarty in Bhakti Ratnakara, Nityananda Das in Prem Bilasa, Brindaban Das in Sree Chaitanya Bhagbata', Abhiram Das in Pat Paryatana have glorified the place.The significance of the place is not widely known. Most people believe that both Sri Chaitanya and Nityananda (Gour and Nitai) are originally from Nabadwip, but this is a misconception. We can point out a series of facts that mark the identity of this place. As in Nabadwip and Brindaban, Ekchakra also has its own Yogapitha a spot sanctified by its connection with the Lord, who used to meditate here so often.
