Narmada Parikrama by Car

|| Ram Krushna Hari ||

I am performing "Ashadhi Wari" from Dehu to Pandharpur on foot for last 14 years
with the blessings of H. B. P. Shri. Sudammaharaj and enjoying the existence of
GOD. As inspired by him, Only because of him, I started daily nitya-nem of
chanting Bhagwat Gita 9,12 & 15 aghyay & vishnu sahasranam in the morning &
haripath in the evening.

It was my wish to perform Narmada Parikrama by walk since last 4-5 years. In
2010, Mrs & Mr. Honap, our warakari friend, performed parikrama by bus through
Gayatri Travels, Pune. Since then they were suggesting me to perform the
parikrama by vehicle once before performing the same by walk. However, I was
firm to perform the same by walk first. Once they were sharing their experience &
then my wife, Sadhana expressed her wish for performing parikrama by vehicle as
she cannot think to perform the same by walk.
I am very thankful to Mrs & Mr. Honap, because of their experience sharing on
parikrama, my wife inspired & expressed her wish to perform Narmada Parikrama
by Vehicle and thus decided to perform Narmada Parikrama by our own Alto car
driven by me in Dec. 2011. We started on 19th Dec. 2011 & completed on 31st Dec.
2011 i.e. in 13 days. On1st January 2012, New Year day, we performed
'Omkareshwar Parikrama'.

The details are narrated in three sections - Background & preparation, Activities &
experiences and Travel plan.

Background & Preparation
About parikrama:
Narmada, literally ‘the goddess that bestows joy’, is the only river in the
world which has a tradition of a parikrama, or ritual circumambulation,
through its entire length of 1300+ KMs (from her origin at Amarkantak to the
sea at Bharuch). The Parikrama can be started from any point along the
banks of Narmada to return to the same point after complete
circumambulation. Traditionally Omkareshwar and Amarkantak have become
two more popular places to commence the Parikrama. One should keep
Narmada to his right side while moving along the river.

One should keep in mind that “Parikrama is a not a picnic or recreation, it

is an adventurous spiritual journey around the sacred river through hills,
dense forests, gorges, ravines, rocky patches, caves, plateaus and plains.

As it is rightly said "Ganga Snan, Yamuna Pan, Tapi Smaaran and Reva
Darshan" is the way to attain 'Moksha'.

People doing Narmada Parikrama also claim that Maa Narmada takes cares
and looks after the hardships and needs of all those who undertake the
Parikrama. She is a living deity to the parikramawasi with whom they interact
and communicate at mental and spiritual level.

It is said that Narmada is the daughter of Har or Shiva. She was born out of
Shiv’s sweat, she is Shivsutaa and Jatashankari.

After completing parikrama, one should perform parikrama of Omkareshwar.

Preparation
We had the following preparation based on the winter season;
1. Had daily regular requirements - cloths, Sweater, Shawl, Kantopi, tooth
brush, tongue cleaner, medicine;

Chaval;

13. Room Heater & Water Heater

Have read book written by Shri. Suhasji Limaye, “Narmade Har | Har
Narmade”, to get the feel of parikrama by walk, which also helped us in fine-
tuning the travel plan. One can also read "Samporna Sri Narmada Parikrama",
the book written by Shri. Sanjayji Shrivas of Amarkantak, where in the
importance of tirtha on the bank of Ma Narmada is narrated with reference to
purana.
Important to note
1. Maintain adequate (at least 4-6 liters) mineral water bottles;
2. Keep the fuel tank of the vehicle always full at the available petrol pump;
3. While taking food at roadside dhaba type hotels, requirement about spicy,
etc shall be clearly stated (normally preparation will be more spicy); even at
stay locations, being small villages/cities, need to be ordered at least before
2 hrs.
4. Looking at road conditions, forest & hilly area, try taking light food during
travel; we preferred taking shev-poha, samosa, mung dal wada, potato
pakoda and fruits right from the morning breakfast & taking dinner as
required & available at the stay location;
5. Ensure the identity proofs are taken back;
6. Try to plan travel upto 4.30-5.00 p.m.
7. At each stay location, kindly enquire & review your plan; add if any
locations can be included; Ensure route & road conditions;
8. If willing to travel through boat at reva sangam i.e. from Kathpor to
Mithitalai, have some spare days in plan;
9. Chant || नमदे हर | नमदे हर | नमदे हर || as many times as possible;
10. Try to plan such a way that you will have Ma Narmada darshan at least
once in a day. Chant Narmada Nitya Path, Narmada Stuti, Narmada Ashtak &
Narmada Arati.
11. Put the banner " Narmada Parikrama" on the vehicle. It keeps us
reminding that we are in parikrama & helps us in following rules of parikrama
& maintain the decipline.
12. On the eay, try to get blessings from parikramavasi; offer dakshina,
biscuits, etc;
13. Donate buiscuits, chocklets, note books, pencils, good usable clothes, etc
to adivasis, whereever possible.
