YATRA AND ITS PARAMARTHA

AUSTERITIES

The yatri should observe many disciplinary roles while on yatra. He should strictly observe austerities during his approach to the place, i.e.. he must roach it with proper bhava - devotional sentiment His faith and conviction alone shower enviable merits. During the journey he should have absolute control over mind, feet, hands, eyes and finally soul. He should observe the vow of fast or atleast eat one meal a day. Intoxicants, frivolous comments, denigrating discussions, hypocritical attitude are to be totally eliminated rather rooted out. He should keep himself fully abreast of the glory and historicity of the place to be visited before hand. If possible should not down in his memorandum details of the importance of several niches and subsidiary shrines to be seen in that place, and its neighborhood.
