Chosen topic is very huge it's not possible 2 cover all in one attempt, perhaps in one birth. Trying 2 cover only very very imp. ones that too in parts. Current one is Part-1 covering Theertha Kshethras as per index given useful from religious, spiritual & tourist point of view.+
In this eBook with 192 pages with illustrations, I have not covered Tirumala, Hanumad Kshethras, Mantralya, and other Madhva Kshethras, they will be covered exclusively in Part-2. +
I am confident that, devout society would make best use of the information provided in the book-let which is freely downloadable (PDF) from the link given and kindly also share (RT) with likeminded.
TheertaYatra shouldn't become customary like visit to picnic spot. Having spent money 1 may have satisfaction of completing pilgrimage. In reality it's not worthwhile without understanding its correct meaning/significance. Theerthakshetra have eternal presence of #SriManNarayana

Lakshmi Devi should not be worshipped alone. She should always be worshipped along with Bhagavan Vishnu.
The are LAKSHMI-NARAYANA the Supreme God & Goddess. They always live together; where Lakshmi is not present Sri Hari will not be there & where Sri Hari is not there Lakshmi does not stay. Divine couple are inseparable. They are not separated even when they manifest as avatara's.+
This is explained in Vishnu Purana as follows,
RaAghavatway-abavat Sita, Rukmini Krishna janmani !
Anyeshu chavatareshu Vishno-resha-yanapayinee !!
Devatvey Deva-deheyam, Manushyatvey cha manushee !
Vishnor dehanu-roopam vai karoth yesha-yatmani tanum!!

Hindu calendar is broadly divided into 2 periods (Ayanas) of 6 M each comprising of 6 seasons (Ruthus) of 2 M each & 12 lunar/solar months of 30 days each (Maasas). 2 broad periods around which all spiritual & religious activities rotate R ref as Uttarayana & Dakshinayana. ++
Sun is D focal point for all these activities & D movement or transit of Sun around the zodiac forms basis for deciding a particular season R a month. We have 12 houses in D zodiac (360 degrees) starting from Aries & ending with Pisces with each house comprising of 30 degrees.++
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama stothram (sloka #23) describes Sri #Vishnu as #Animishah, the one who is ever awake, ever alert, and ever vigilant; the one who keeps a continuous vigil on his devotees. +
These four months (#Chaturmasam) are incredibly dear and pleasing to Paramaatma #Vishnu when He will be in Yoga Nidra (divine slumber) from Aaashaada Sukla Ekadasi called Deva Sayani or Hari Sayani to Kartheeka Sukla Dwaadasi called Uttaana Dwaadasi.
To evolve perfection one must make use of every little opportunity in one’s allotted span of life. Perhaps Chaturmasa is an appropriate occasion to streamline ones life physically, mentally as well as spiritually. +
