Jagadgurukshetras and Gurukshetras of India

Gurukshetras and Jadgurukshetras in India.


Kashi is the prime Jadgurukshetra in India. The four peethas established by Adi Shankaracharya are popular Jagadgurukshetras. We have to add the peethas of Ramanuja, Madhva, Desika, Vallabhacharya, Raghavendra Swamy, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu etc. to Jagadguru Kshetras. We have many more Gurukshetras in India.


Kashi is the prime Jadgurukshetra in India.
Kashi must have a public Vedic library where are pilgrims can go and read veda and purana related literature in their own mother tongue and also listen to lectures by Jnanis on how to live their life according to the precepts of Vedas, Puranas and current religious, social and political thinkers.


Tirtha Kshetras provide peace based on faith. Gurukshetras provide knowledge and wisdom.
