seeing through the eyes of scriptures

TOVP not mentioned in Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

it is stated Lord Nityananda Prabhu showed Srila Jiva Goswami in a vision the future TOVP by ISKCON  , if that what so important as seeing Navadvipa in it is original spiritual form ,is questionable ,but if we  have a look in the Navadvipa Parikrama book of that vision given to Srila Jiva Goswami it is clear it it the Yoga pitha  birth place of Lord Caitanya 
Mayapur,The Land of the Golden Avatar's portrait.

 actually it is not the TOVP :After rolling on the ground there, the four men went to the house of Gadadhara, just ten meters to the east. From that place, Nityananda showed Jiva the various houses of Lord Chaitanya's associates. After seeing the houses of the brahmana community, they proceeded to the bank of the Ganges in a happy mood. There, at the border of Mayapur, Jiva saw the Vriddha Shiva temple.

Nityananda Prabhu said, "He is the guardian of Mayapur. This is where the Praudha-maya energy, yoga-maya, in charge of spiritual perception) is eternally situated. When our Lord disappears, by His desire, the Ganges will swell. The Ganges water will almost cover Mayapur for a hundred years, and then the water will again recede. For some time only the place will remain, devoid of houses. Then again, by the Lord's desire, this place will become prominent, and people will live in Mayapur as before. All these ghatas on the bank of the Ganges will again be manifest, and the devotees will build temples of the Lord. One exceedingly wonderful temple will appear from which Gauranga's eternal service will be preached everywhere. Praudha Maya and Vriddha Shiva will again come and perform their duties of revealing the spiritual dhama according to the Lord's desire."

Paramananda Das clearly Lord Nityananda Prabhu is describing the Yoga Pitha as adbhuta mandir that was reestablished by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada and his father Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Paramananda Das but if we take it to be the TOVP also I think there is no harm in that ,but Lord Nityananda Prabhu was standing next to Lord Siva at Lord Caitanyas birthplace Yogapitha and this is where Praudha maya Siva is manifested ,so it is an ISKCON sales pitch that is all it is
