Some people practice repetition of the names of a particular deity, some engage in austerities, some observe vows like fasting ... some go to the four places of pilgrimage ... however, one will attain his goal of divine love and bliss only if his mind is completely attached to the lotus feet of Shri Krishna.

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu was very forthright when it came to dispelling misconceptions in spirituality. The content of this concise book is a testimony to this, as he clears the confusion about the purpose and benefit of piligrimage, whether it is going to a sacred place, a temple, or bathing in a sacred river. In this little book, Kripalu Ji's message is a powerful one, that is, regardless of the physical act, if your mind is not attached to God you will derive no benefit. 

Many people in India believe that by bathing in the Ganges one's sins are washed away. We see this belief played out on a huge scale at events like Kumbha Mela, when millions of pilgrims throng the Ganges believing that her waters will cleanse them of all their wrongdoings. But is this so? Can a ritualistic dip or a pilgrimage purify our mind and rid us of our sins? These and more perplexing questions are answered candidly by Kripalu Ji.
