Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
Do I need to go on pilgrimage if I serve my parents?
Parents' feet hold the four Dhams
Parents and guru are the three gods of the earth, so bow to them and follow their instructions. The four Dhams are at their feet, and serving those who gave you birth is your duty.
If you have served your parents and guru and followed their instructions, you do not need to make the journey to the four Dhams.
