Category:All Over India
Theme Analysis
The history of Bharatavarsa is profoundly shaped by the preaching tours of the Supreme Lord and His pure representatives. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that great spiritual leaders like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, and Śrīpāda Madhvācārya did not remain in one place. Upon accepting the renounced order of life (sannyāsa), they traveled all over India to defeat opposing philosophies, establish temples, and distribute love of Godhead to the general populace.
Another major theme is the sacred geography and traditional culture found all over India. From the massive Kumbha-melā gatherings to countless local temples and holy rivers, the land is divinely designed for spiritual elevation. Traditionally, during the vānaprastha stage of life, a husband and wife would travel to these holy places to detach themselves from family affairs. Śrīla Prabhupāda points out that in the past, when this Vedic culture was intact, there was no poverty all over India. However, due to the introduction of artificial industrialism (ugra-karma) and the destruction of the original culture by foreign rulers, the country became poverty-stricken. To counteract this severe degradation, Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes the necessity of a massive preaching campaign. His practical strategy involves inspiring young, educated people to distribute books to libraries, perform street saṅkīrtana, and distribute prasādam to the hungry people all over India, thereby reviving the nation's lost spiritual glory.
