Chapter – 45 – The legend of Lord Krishna – Pandava Swargarohanam

Yudhishtira decided to leave for  Mahaprasthanam/ leaving the Kingdom and its people forever, practice meditation upon the Supreme Lord.  He crowned Pareekshith, son of Uththara as the Emperor of the Kingdom, Vajranabha, the son of Aniruddha has undertaken the ruling of the city of Mathura. Thus, Yudhishtira, Beema, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva attired in a saffron robe, left the Kingdom of Hastinapura followed by Devi Draupadi.  They walked several miles in utter silence did not consume a meal or take shelter in any homes, meanwhile, they took shelter in the hermitages of Rishis and Sages, the pathways they have crossed on Earth were famously known as Chathurdham/Chardham.  They have conducted journey through Haridwar, Rishikesh, Yamunotri,  Uttara Kashi, Gangotri, and visited the hermitages of illustrious Rishis and Sages, like Parashara, visited Kedar, Badrinath, visited Maharishi Vedavyasa, further crossed the river Saraswathi, constantly contemplating upon the supreme Lord Narayana, they have crossed several miles.   Devi Dharaupadhi realized the body is not co-operating with her for the further journey, she did not expect or ask for the assistance of her five husbands, she took immense pleasure in the Supreme Lord Vasudeva who resides as a soul in her, and left her mortal coil.

Whoever reads or listens to the Pandava Mahaprasthanam and Swargarohanam, with intense devotion and faith, would attain firm devotion at the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Hari.
