Antardvīpa (अन्तर्द्वीप) refers to one of the Navadvīpa (“nine islands”), according to the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta.—These nine islands, which occupy an area of land estimated at thirty-two square miles, are surrounded by different branches of the Ganges. In all nine of those islands of the Navadvīpa area there are different places for cultivating devotional service. It is stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (7.5.23) that there are nava-vidha bhakti, nine different activities of devotional service. There are different islands in the Navadvīpa area [e.g., Antardvīpa] for cultivation of these nine varieties of devotional service.
