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.
