A Presentation on

Dham Aparadha /Dham Seva

Prepared by Akash Uniyal,Deepak and Chetan


Anukaraṇa means false imitation. That is called ANUKARANA. And ANUSARANA means to follow. Try to follow as far as possible.

Although we have to follow in the footsteps of the Lord, we still have to remember that we cannot imitate Him. Following and imitating are
not on the same level. We cannot imitate the Lord by lifting Govardhana Hill, as the Lord did in His childhood. It is impossible for any
human being. We have to follow His instructions, but we may not imitate Him at any time.
1.
To disrespect one’s spiritual master who reveals the dhama to the
disciple
2.
To think that the holy dhama is temporary.
3.
To commit violence towards any of the residents of the holy dhama or to any of the
pilgrims who come there, or to think that they are ordinary people. Srila Prabhupada
writes: “All the inhabitants of Vrindavana are Vaisnavas. They are all auspicious
because somehow or other they always chant the holy name of Krishna” (C.C.Adi
5.232, purport).
4.
To perform mundane activities while living in the holy dhama.
5.
To utilize the dhama for personal economic development by
commercializing deity worship and sankirtana in the holy dhama.
6.
To think that the holy dhama belongs to a mundane country or
province, such as Bengal; to think that the Lord’s dhama is equal to a
place connected with some demigod, or to attempt to measure the
area of the holy dhama.
7.
To commit sinful acts while residing in the holy dhama
8.
To consider Vrindavana-dhama as different from Navadvipa-dhama.
9.
To blaspheme the sastras that assert the glorious position of the holy
dhama.
10.
To be faithless and think that the glories of the dhama are imaginary.
Srila Prabhupada explained that the results of all devotional activities
performed in the holy dhama are magnified a thousand times.
Therefore, one can make rapid advancement if one lives offenselessly
in the holy dhama. But if we commit offenses, the results of those
offenses are also magnified one thousand times. Therefore, one is
advised to carefully avoid committing any offenses in the holy dhama.
