Introduction

The series of articles on the various Tirthas and ancient spots under the title of "IMMORTAL INDIA", first appeared in the English fortnightly Journal of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, "BHAVAN'S JOURNAL". Subsequently they also appeared in Hindi in the Bhavan's Hindi fort nightly journal "BHARATI". Some of the articles have also been translated in different Indian languages under special permission. A few were also reproduced in the Bombay State Transport Review'. To meet the constant demand of having them collectively in a book form, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has decided to publish them in its Book University Series in parts.

The information collected under the various titles is not necessarily exhaustive. Apart from his own observations, the writer has also collected notes from numerous earlier works and authorities. Some of them are indicated in the text. But the writer takes this opportunity to acknowledge his indebtedness and gratitude to all of them, whether specifically mentioned or not. An attempt has been made in these articles to give an account based on History, Tradition, Vedic, Epic and Puranic Literatures, Sanskrit digests on Tirthas, Inscriptions and other sources. Religious movements and associations of saintly personalities are also noted. The purpose would be served if the account creates an interest in the readers about the various ancient and holy spots, and a visit to them if possible.
