Mathura
Today, Mathura is a city of temples and shrines abustle with the thousands of devotees who come to visit the city of Lord Krishna. A splendid temple at the Katra Keshav Dev marks the spot that is believed to be the Shri Krishna Janmasthan - the birthplace of the Lord, by his devotees. Another beautiful shrine, the Gita Mandir, located on the Mathura -Vrindavan Road has a fine image of Shri Krishna in its sanctum. The whole of the Bhagwad Gita is inscribed on the walls of this temple.
The most popular shrine at Mathura is the Dwarikadhish Temple to the north of the town, dedicated to Shri Krishna. This was built in 1815 by a staunch and wealthy devotee, Seth Gokuldas Parikh, Treasurer of the State of Gwalior. There are about 25 ghats in Mathura today, of which the most important is the Vishram Ghat. Where according to legend, Shri Krishna took his rest after killing Kansa. |

Holiness Shattered I Had Been To Mathura, Vrindavan, Gokul And Govardhan Prikarma Last Month & I Was Hurt To See The Beahaviour Of Pujaris And Guides Around Gokul (Nand’s Home), Govardhan Parikarma And Vrindavan.They Have Least Respect To These Places Of Highest Importance For Hindus. All Local Guides Are Nothing But A ’Thug’ In Disguise Of A ’Brahmin’.They Will Take You To The Temple Of There Choice. The Priest Will Teach You The Importance Of The Place And Advise You To Donate In Name Of God. He Is Having A Rate Card As Well. He Will Try To Squeeze Your Pocket In The Name Of Religion.You Can Not Offer Your Prayers At Most Of These Place Unless You Pay Different Type Of Poojas To These Pandas. To Save The Dignity Of These Places And Lord Krishna, Either Government Or Any NGO Of Repute Should Take Complete Charge Of These Places.
