This Harinama Preaching department was started by Srimati Mataji several years ago. When Srimati Mataji relocated to Vrindaban in 2001, the responsibility was given to Govindananda Das.

The goal of this department is to make every visitor of Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir chant the holy names of Krishna as instructed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The devotees from this department help visitors chant the holy names on the beads and also write the holy names.

The following projects are conducted under this department:
