SHREE KRISHNA NEEJDHAM PRASTHAN TEERTH
(DEHOTSARG TEERTH)
 

This teerth is located on the banks of Hiran at a distance of 1.5km from Somnath temple. Bhagwan Shree Krishna took his divine journey to Neejdham from this sacred soil. Rich accounts of the divined Shree Krishna Neejdham Prasthan Leela are maintained by the authentic traditions of Mahabhart, Shrimad Bhagwat, Vishnu Puran etc. Swami Shri Gjananand Saraswatiji has critically examined the aforesaid classical indian traditions and suggested the time of Neejdham Prasthan. He suggested that Shre Krishna departed on the first day of bright fortnight of Chaitra month (which correspondes with 18th February of English calendar)in the year 3102 B.C. at 2:27:30 hours

The footprint of Bhagwan Shree Krishna is carved here to mark the divine memory of Shree Krishna Neejdham Prasthan Leela. Baldevji, the elder brother of Shree Krishna also took his last journey from here in his original serpent form. This is marked by an ancient holy cave called “Dauji-ni Gufa”

(Bhagwan Shree Krishna saw the his own forms-Brahmaji and other divine entities - and then closed his lotus shaped eyelids. Then the benevolent and all-beloved Bhagwan Shree Krishna took his last journey to his Neejdham keeping intact his earthen body with the power of divine yogic fire.)

(Shrimad Bhagvat Skandh 11, Adhyay : 30 Slok 5-6)
