TIRTH YATRA

 

‘Tirth’ means pilgrim place and ‘Yatra’ means visit to such pious and sacred places with devotion. The book has illustration about such pilgrim places and is therefore meaningfully titled as ‘Tirth Yatra’.

India is a sacred land with innumerable pilgrim places spread all over. From ages, these pilgrim centers have attracted millions of people. In this book, Shri Yogeshwarji has illustrated about pilgrim centers located in the northern part of India. The noteworthy point about these pilgrim places is that Shri Yogeshwarji visited them during his years in Himalayas and that’s the reason these articles are very informative as well as detailed.

In the book the reader will find information about famous pilgrim places like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kailas Mansarovar, Amarnath, Vaishano Devi, Vrindavan, Mathura, Ayodhya, Chitrakoot, Pryag (Allahabad), Kashi (Varanasi / Banaras), Gaya as well as lesser known pilgrim centers like Kankhal, Chandravadani Devi, Kurukshetra, Sarnath, Gorakhpur, Jawalamukhi, Hemkund Sahib etc. The book has details on 51 such pilgrim places.

Yogeshwarji has not only described their historical significance but also about places of interest, noteworthy saints living at the place, the story behind the name of the places etc. Just to give an idea, in the chapter on Rishikesh, Shri Yogeshwarji has detailed about how to reach Rishikesh, why it was named ‘Rishikesh’, the details about places of interest – Triveni Ghat, Maya Kund, Swargashram, Laxman Zoola, Nilkanth etc.

Often, it happens that we visit these pilgrim places but are unaware of its significance and most of the time just see the main temple and do not visit due to lack of information or proper guidance the associated places. This book will come in handy for those people. For those who haven’t seen these places, this book will fill them with enthusiasm to visit them.
