Hinduism: Sacred Places and Holy Rivers - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

India's sacred places and holy rivers spiritually invigorate and purify countless pilgrims. Tirthas, or sacred places, are where the temporal encounters the divine, where one crosses over or elevates oneself through the darshan of deities, chanting God's holy name, bathing in holy lakes, rivers, or oceans, performing austerities, and engaging in meditation. For millennia, the Hindu tradition of pilgrimage to the holy places and rivers of India has embraced the aspirations for inner purification, strengthening of faith and encountering the divine for liberation. India's countless sacred places and rivers owe their sanctity to the visits of avatars of Paramatma and enlightened spiritual masters. Hinduism: Sacred Places and Holy Rivers provides a brief introduction to many of the pilgrimage places and holy rivers of India.
