Mathura Tourism

Lord Krishna’s followers are widespread globally and consider it their good luck to visit Mathura Teerth in their life once at least, the history of the city dates back to the epic period while Mathura was one among the 16 Mahajanpadas of ancient India. Historically the city is very old and had been the epicentre of Kushan rulers. Similarly from the point of view of religion the city has been the cradle of Vaishnavism like Ayodhya. This is the place where Lord Krishna got birth from Mother Devaki under the confinement of tyrant Kansa. Lord Krishna blessed this holy land and the inhabitants. He devised innumerable pranks to shower vive grace on his followers. He rescued the common folk from the tyranny of the evil powers and became saviour. It was he who took up the Govardhan Parvat on his finger toe and saved the common people from the wrath of Indra, thus he broke the pride of Indra. He as a ruler did immerse work to help the poor and the helpless. As a great philosopher he taught the noble gospel of Bhagvat Geeta. He taught the truth of life, the ultimate reality, the relation of soul and him.

Thus the whole Brij Area is full of temples of Radha Krishna. The influence of the Lord can easily be found in the common languages as well where people normally utter – “Jai Shree Krishna” as a common greeting Mathura Vrindavan and entire Brij area have scores of magnificent temples built in Nagar style and appeal to the tourists for their unparallel beauty and architectural grandeur to name a few the Krishna Janambhoomi Temple, ISKCON temple, Bankey Bihari Temple, Rangjee temple are some of the well known temples of this great land.

Aptly said “Man is a social animal” There are set societal norms which make a better family and society as well with the changing scenario where materialism is swaying over the society. Thus the degeneration of moral values is seen. Religion is such panacea that can help in making such society which can be called ideal. Indian Religious tourism in my view can play a pivotal role in creating such society where society can inhale the aroma of morality and ethics.

Not only the Indian society but English society as well had a deep rooted tradition of religious tourism. The Chaucerian Canterbury tales give us an idea of the English society. Similarly the travel accounts and religious accounts of Buddhists and Jain religion in India can be considered the best token of religious tourism for the monks it was considered necessary to move and not to remain at one place for long. As the Adi Guru Shankaracharya made the mathas on the four corners of India, they become very popular with the Hindus for the pilgrimage

Religious Tourism in India Help in Moral uplift

Presently the society is getting many mal practices and new types of crimes are occurring. In the Indian society the family feuds are taking places and the examples are set like Cain and Abel. At time we came to hear about the molestation of old parents by the children just for meager pieces of paper currency. Outside the family murders for property or rape similar kinds of iqrourious and heinous crimes take place. Book Maharaja Express

All such monstrous activities can be attributed to lack of moral education and abstaining from theology. Family and school can play a vital role by moulding children. They should be given chances for religious tourism where teachers and family members can help in inculcating good feeling among children. Children at infancy should be taken to religious places having a history. They should be briefed about the moral stories of Harish Chandra, Moradhwaj, Guru Nanak, Lord Rama Krishna, Jesus and so on.

Ayodhya pilgrimage – Top Destination for Religious Tourism in India

The very name of Ramrajya can be equated with utopia. It’s a sort of ideal society where everybody feels elated having no grievances or grudge towards anybody. The better way to understand the life of lord Rama and Ramrajya, children at infancy should be given a chance to travel to Ayodhya and visit Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

When children are acquainted with the stories of Ramrajya, they can prove a better citizen by following the ideals of Lord Ram.
