Pilgrimage

In the thirteenth year, a travelling sannyasi came as a guest of the Lord's parents and requested them to send Nitai with him as a travelling companion. His parents committed to Vedic culture, could not decline his request and reluctantly parted with Nitai. Lord Nityananda toured the holy places in both

1. Northern and 
2. Southern India 

until He arrived in Navadvipa and met Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He went to visit the different holy places in order to purify them from the sins left behind by the pilgrims who visit them.

In the course of His pilgrimage, the Lord went to 

1. Gaya, 
2. Kashi, 
3. Prayaga, 
4. Mathura, 
5. Govardhana, 
6. Hastinapura, 
7. Dwaraka, 
8. Ayodhya, 
9. Haridwara and many other holy places. 
10. He took bath in many holy rivers on the way. 
11.  Badarikashrama and to the ashrama of Srila Vyasadeva and met him. 

On His pilgrimage tour, He also met

1. Madhavendra Puri, 
2. Ishvara Puri, and 
3. Brahmananda Puri who were all great devotees of Lord Krishna. 
4. He spent many days enjoying the ecstasy of krishna-katha in the association of Madhavendra Puri and his disciples. 

He then visited other various places such as

1. Setubandha, 
2. Danatirtha, 
3. Mayapuri, 
4. Avanti, 
5. Devapari, 
6. Trimala,

Finally He arrived at Jagannatha Puri, where He took darshana of Lord Jagannatha and drowned in the ocean of bliss upon seeing the Deity of the Lord.  From Jagannatha Puri, He returned again to Mathura.
