Chaurasi-Kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama (Including All 600 Sacred Tirthas
Including All 600 Sacred Tīrthas Within the Holy Dhama
By Rajasekhara Dasa Brahmachari
Chaurasi-Kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama is the most comprehensive and meticulously researched guide ever produced on the sacred geography of Vraja — the divine land of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s eternal pastimes. This monumental work documents over 600 holy places (tīrthas) within the traditional 168-mile (chaurāsi-kosa) circumference of Vraja Maṇḍala, making it an indispensable companion for pilgrims, devotees, researchers, and lovers of Vraja-bhakti.
The author spent more than a decade personally traveling throughout Vraja, gathering scriptural references, local traditions, and historical evidence to accurately identify, locate, and describe each sacred site. This new expanded edition not only covers the well-known pilgrimage route followed by devotees but also reveals many rarely visited and forgotten tīrthas, presenting them as accessible excursions from the main parikramā path.
