I have spent some time as a devotee with the hare krishna in this country and am due to go to India in a couple of weeks. Can you give me some advise on what temple in Delhi that I could stay at and where the pilgramages start from.

I'm sure others will give you more advice, but in short you can go to the following places near to Delhi:

 

Vrindavan/Mathura (Birth place of Lord Krishna)

4 hours from Delhi

 

Jaipur (Govinda-ji Temple and some palaces)

6 hours from Delhi

 

Haridwar/Rishikesh (Holy Ganga and foothills of Himalayas)

7 hours from Delhi

 

Kurukshetra (Place where Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita)

6 hours from Delhi

Good advice. Here are some photo previews of the recommended pilgramage areas:

sacred Holy Places in India for

pilgrims and sadhus from many faiths.

river Ganges. "Haridwar" literary means

"the gate to Lord Hari", Lord Vishnu. It is

one of the seven most sacred places of

India and in the Puranas it is called

Mayapuri-ksetra.

Those pictures really add life to the names. Now I want to go on pilgrimage as well.

 

And Joseph, make sure you see the Akshar Dham swaminarayan temple in Delhi. It's the most amazing thing I have seen in India.
