During
the Parikrama, devotees from across the world visit the 12 forests of Vraj
dham. It is a transcendental expedition, a month-long journey not just through
different villages and towns of Mathura but also a journey on the path of
clearing the garbage of anarthas filled in people's hearts. Not only seeing,
staying, and touching the Dham purifies one's soul, but also Srimati Radharani,
personally forces devotees to pull out their deep-rooted weeds of material
enjoyment. One learns the basic
principle of ISKCON i.e. 'Simple Living and High Thinking.' Furthermore, the
parikrama helps devotees to fix their minds on their whole and sole purpose of
life i.e. devotional service. The hardship that the devotees face during the
yatra pleases Krishna immensely.
"Observing
the vow of Kartika in Vraja Mandala brings love for Lord Krsna. In this way the
best result is obtained in Mathura. They who bathe and then worship Lord
Damodara in Vraja Mandala during the month of Kartika attain spiritual forms
like Lord Krsna's. Of this there is no doubt. O brahmana, it is rare that one
is allowed to spend the month of Karttika in Vraja. To they who worship Him in
Vraja during Kartika, Lord Krsna reveals His own transcendental form. To the
devotees who worship Him in other places, Lord Krsna gives happiness and
liberation, but He does not give devotional service, for devotional service
turns Him into His devotee's servant. Still, one can very easily attain
devotional service by once worshiping Lord Damodara in Vraja Mandala during
Kartika." - From Kartika Mahatmaya
Thank
you very much.
