The
Yogapith temple
in
Mayapur
,
West Bengal
, India, is a shrine constructed at the birth site of
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
(1486–1533). It was erected in the 1880s by
Bhaktivinoda Thakur
(1838–1914), a leading Gaudiya Vaishnava reformer and teacher, when, after much research, he rediscovered Chaitanya's original birthplace. Chaitanya founded
Gaudiya Vaishnavism
, better known in the West by its branch, the
International Society for Krishna Consciousness
, or the Hare Krishna movement.
