Kurukṣetra Pilgrimage: Sages Praise Kṛṣṇa; Vasudeva Inquires on Karma; Viṣṇu-yajña Performed
जनेभ्य: कथयां चक्रुर्यदुदेवमहोत्सवम् । यदासीत्तीर्थयात्रायां सुहृत्सन्दर्शनादिकम् ॥ ७१ ॥
janebhyaḥ kathayāṁ cakrur yadu-deva-mahotsavam yad āsīt tīrtha-yātrāyāṁ suhṛt-sandarśanādikam
Mereka menceritakan kepada penduduk kota tentang yajña dan perayaan agung yang dilakukan Vasudeva, tuan kaum Yadu, serta segala yang berlaku dalam ziarah tirtha itu, khususnya pertemuan dan darśana dengan sanak-saudara serta sahabat tercinta.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Eighty-fourth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Sages’ Teachings at Kurukṣetra.”
FAQs
This verse says that people were told about Kṛṣṇa’s grand festival connected with the pilgrimage—especially the uplifting reunions and meetings of dear friends and devotees.
Because pilgrimage in the Bhāgavatam is not only about visiting sacred places; it becomes spiritually powerful through satsanga—reconnecting with devotees and sharing remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.
Seek holy association, attend devotional gatherings, and use reunions to speak about Kṛṣṇa and dharma—turning social connection into remembrance and spiritual renewal.
