WELCOME TO PRABHUPADANUGAS PARIKRAMAS

Parikrama is a Sanskrit word which means “to circumambulate.” Practitioners of Vedic culture are familiar with circumambulating the temple, deity, sacred fire during a sacrifice and a holy place. The devotee performs parikrama not only to purify himself, but also to imbibe the spiritual vibration of holy places, in order to develop detachment from the mundane world and attain attachment to the lotus feet of the Lord by rendering pure devotional service unto Him.The tradition of parikrama in the Gaudiya Sampradaya was exemplified by Lord Chaitanya, when He undertook Vraja mandal parikrama, during His visit to Vrindavan from Puri. Srila Bhaktisiddhantha Sarasvati Thakura also organized and conducted such parikramas of Vraja mandal and Navadvip mandal for large groups of devotees.

ISKCON Bangalore Group has been organizing parikramas to Vraja Mandal, Navadweep and Puri Dham (Purushottama Kshetra). Read More
