Kanyakumari




Kanyakumari is situated at the southernmost tip of Indian subcontinent, at the confluence of three oceans - Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. It is a very unique confluence where literally three oceans are meeting at the very southernmost tip of India. Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 10 Chapter 79 verses 16-17 mentions that Lord Balarama visited Kanyakumari in the course of His pilgrimage.

Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also visited Kanyakumari during His South India tour as stated in Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya Lila 9.223. In the year 1510, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to Kanyakumari. Lord Caitanya took His bath at the holy confluence of three oceans.

Great souls in the past have visited this place. On his way to America in Jaladuta, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada came around this place. On Jaladuta, while sailing through the Suez, Srila Prabhupada wrote in his dairy that, “here they have a street called marine drive just like the one in Bombay Chowpatty beach.”

Most of the holy rivers Ganges, Yamuna and others have their final destination in one of these oceans.
