Religious Trip.

It is said that " flowing water is pure, moving monk is pure"

In India people always love to have a religious trip (Tirtha Jatra). After finishing their house hold responsibility  when they are free they love to have a religious trip.

There are four important religious places known as (chaturdham). People believe after worshiping in those four places one can get read of his her sins.


In ancient days visiting these places was really a difficult task. There was no roads , no communication. People have to cover all these distances by walk. They cannot carry wealth.

It takes years together to complete this journey, some of them were able to return to their home  some of them die in the path and could not complete their journey.

India is a vast land and the culture, the climate and feeding  also differs from place to place.

The Tirths Jatris were completely depend upon others for their food and security. People love to take care of these religious travelers.

It was no doubt a great experience . When they return from their religious trips they come with many  experience.

In India the religious people believe that the human ego is the main cause for all our suffering and  the religious trip helps them to get rid  of their ego.

 A powerful man becomes as ordinary as a powerless man. When he lives his native his identity  becomes negligible . So also a rich man poses no riches  he is as ordinary as a poor man.

These  experience helps them to understand the truth of life.
