Mathura Darshan: Dhruva ghat to Sapta Rishi Tila

Footage taken 22 Sept 2009. Our parikrama party headed by Sripad BV Tirtha Maharaji and other sannyasis of Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaja this day went to Dhruva Tirtha then to Sapta Rishi Tila.

Some excerpts on these places from Sri Vraja Mandal Parikrama book by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaj which is available for download at our resources section in www.purebhakti.com

Dhruva Tīrtha
After being pierced by the arrow-like words of his step-mother, the five-year-old Dhruva came to the forest here on the instruction of his mother Sunītijī and met Devarṣi Nārada at this ghāṭa on the bank of the Yamunā. Devarṣī Nārada instructed Dhruva to take bath at this ghāṭa and then gave him a twelve-syllable mantra. Dhruva thereafter journeyed to the isolated highlands of Madhuvana where he worshipped Bhagavān by performing severe austerities and finally received His darśana.
By taking bath here, a person is glorified on Dhruva-loka.Also, ones forefathers become happy when one offers them śrāddha here, which grants the equivalent result of offering piṇḍa in Gayā. Many mahātmās following the guru-paramparā of the ancient Nimbāditya Sampradāya have been living here, and this is the only place of this ancient sampradāya that remains in Braja Maṇḍala.

Ṛṣi Tīrtha
Here Nara-Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi of Badrī Dhāma is always absorbed in the worship of Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This tīrtha is situated south of Dhruva Tīrtha. A person who takes bath here attains bhagavat-loka
