Real Purpose Of Going On Pilgrimage - Prabhupada 0667



660304 - Lecture BG 02.11 - New York

Real meaning of going to a sacred place: to find out some intelligent scholar in spiritual knowledge, they are living there. To make association with them, to take knowledge from them—that is the purpose of going to pilgrimage.

Because in pilgrimage, holy places . . . just like I, my residence is at Vṛndāvana. So at Vṛndāvana there are many great scholars and saintly persons living. So one should go to such holy places not simply to take bath in the water.
