Greetings,

 

I know virtually nothing about the hare krishna's but would like to learn more. Most of all, I would like to get an understanding of the holy places, where the religion began and where devotees visit, so I can perhaps do the same. Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Philip

There are three main places that vaisnavas visit:

 

1. Vrindaban - This is where Krishna appeared 5000 years ago and performed his pastimes. This place is supreme and a direct manifestation of the spiritual world.

 

2. Sridham Mayapur - This is where Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared some 500 years ago and is non-different from Vrindaban. Mayapur is the birth place of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition.

 

3. Jaganath Puri - The home of the famous Jaganath Mandir and also the home of Caitanya for many years. Many wondorous pastimes of Caitanya and his associates have taken place here.

 

 

Like I said, these are the main places of the Vaisnavas but there are many others such as Dwarka, Rishikesh, Ayodhya.. too many to mention actually.

 

Please purchase a copy of 'Bhagavad Gita As It' Is by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, & 'Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead' by the same author. You will not regret it!

 

Thankyou for your interest, Hare Krishna.
