Whom should I feel grateful to for keeping our pilgrimage traditions alive?
Be grateful to the pandas of the tirthas
Pilgrim-priests (pandas) and acharyas did the greatest work of carrying the glory of the tirthas, holy pilgrimage places, to everyone. Keep deep gratitude toward them, as your ancestors did.
Do keep gratitude toward them. Keep a lot of gratitude. Your ancestors kept great gratitude toward the pandas; you should too.
