Book Description

About the Book The book recounts the journey of Vivek ji and numerous others during the years 2022-23 along the revered banks of the Narmada river. The book is not just a travelogue of the author's journey along the banks of the river, but also a documentation of the numerous ancient teerthas that are scattered along the holy banks of Narmada, which have been mostly forgotten by everyone. The teerthas are the starting point of the Narmada Parikrama, playing a crucial role in shaping this tradition. Vivek ji's Narmada parikrama was a journey undertaken with the purpose of immersing oneself in the spiritual landscapes of the sacred Narmada river. However, it was the parikrama that ultimately uncovered and drew attention to the Teerthas.

About the Author Ananda hi Ananda was founded by Vivek ji, a lively figure who is a speaker, poet, philosopher, writer, and above all, a humanist. Vivek ji has shown great dedication to promoting the overall well-being of human society. The hallmarks of his teachings, known as ananda hi ananda, are his illuminating talks and meditation techniques. Vivek ji walks for both spiritual reasons and social causes, including supporting farmers. In an effort to keep the ancient shastras alive and well in the modern world, Vivek ji has been hard at work translating them. He founded Ma Narmada Gyan Peeth with the objective of promoting the conservation of rivers and cultivating an ecological mindset. This organization is dedicated to the preservation of the sacred Narmada River, recognizing its ecological, social, and cultural significance.

Preface In the year 2022-23, I embarked on a remarkable journey known by the name "Amritasya Ma Narmada Pada-Parikrama". Accompanied by a group of seventeen individuals and a dedicated team of over fifty supporting staff, we set out to traverse the majestic banks of the Narmada River, spanning an impressive distance of over 3,000 km. It has long been customary to walk along the banks of the holy River Narmada and complete its circumambulation. In the pages that follow, I shall recount the profound journey that unfolded before me during the sacred ritual known as the parikrama. Within the hallowed realms of this book, I shall endeavour to capture the essence of my extraordinary experience, as I embarked upon a spiritual odyssey like no other. With each step taken, I traversed the path of devotion, immersing myself in the timeless traditions and sacred practices. In the depths of my literary collection, there lies another book that delves into the sacred realm of knowledge, focusing solely on the hallowed tirtha-sthala that I, with great fervour, had the privilege of rediscovering during my profound parikrama. In the pages that follow, (I invite you, the reader, to embark on a remarkable journey alongside me.) Within the confines of this book, I shall recount the tale of one of the most arduous walks I have ever undertaken. It is a narrative that seeks to illuminate the depths of my experience, shedding light on the encounters I had with fellow travellers and the heartfelt conversations I shared with the innocent souls of children. In the pages of this book, you will find a captivating narrative that delves into the depths of my personal experiences, intricately woven with the rich tapestry of firthas' history. (However, should one's sole interest lie in the exploration of tirthas, there exists another literary work dedicated solely to providing comprehensive details about the sacred tirthas situated along the revered banks of the holy Narmada).

Prologue Since the dawn of human civilization and historical literacy, the sacred River Narmada has been honoured with rituals of adoration and circumambulation in India. The River Narmada holds great spiritual significance for millions of people, who believe that bathing in her holy waters can cleanse their sins and bring them closer to salvation. Her revered status is further reinforced by the numerous temples and shrines that have been built along its banks, attracting pilgrims even from far and wide. According to the ancient Indian Shastras, there exists a profound act that is considered among the holiest endeavours one can undertake the circumambulation of the revered Narmada River. The circumambulation, also known as parikrama, involves walking the entire length of the Narmada River on both banks, which spans over 3,000 km. This sacred journey is believed to purify the soul and grant blessings to those who undertake it. It has been my experience that completing the parikrama can bring immense spiritual growth and deepen one's connection with the divine. This profound practice not only serves as a vital component of sadhana, but also entails the Hindu Sanatana history, accords these tirthas (pilgrimage sites) a great deal of significance and credits various deities with blessing them. These sacred pilgrimage sites, established through countless religious endeavours and spiritual practices by a multitude of revered individuals, span across numerous epochs. The act of visiting those sacred tirthas during the parikrama is the very essence that gave birth to this ancient tradition of parikrama. I was following the footsteps of countless saints and other holy individuals when I started my walk of the parikrama. But I was also careful to adhere to the customs established by the Great Saint Shri Gaurishankar Maharaj, so I walked every day, made sure the pilgrims ate together and offered communal food (saha-bhojana) as it is known in India, wherever we spent the night
