Undoubtedly it is wonderful that Dvaraka has defeated the glories of the heavenly planets and has enhanced the celebrity of the earth. The inhabitants of Dvaraka are always seeing the soul of all living beings [Krishna] in His loving feature. He glances at them and favors them with sweet smiles.
Dwarka is the sacred city where Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, spent most of His time during His appearance on earth five thousand years ago. He performed wonderful pastimes there, including expanding into 16,108 forms and creating 16,108 palaces for His 16,108 queens. In Vrindavan, Lord Krishna lives as a simple cowherd boy, but in Dwarka He lives as a wealthy prince.
Dwarka means “gateway to the Supreme” or “city of gates.”
ISKCON is conducting these pilgrimages under the divine leadership & guidance of His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. “Tirtha-Guru” is the spiritual master who reveals the place of pilgrimage, pastimes of Lord & His devotees & the glories to the pilgrim.
Pilgrimage is not just about visiting a place, but it is a soul’s journey to come closer to God.
Travelling with devotees/like minded people helps us become spiritually strong, make us free from all our anxieties & re-discover peace in all dimensions of our lives.
