The importance of a yatra

We have all heard of the word “mantra”. Mantra* – “man” + “tra” – to liberate the manas (mind) through sounds. The sound itself has certain qualities which benefit us. Similarly, yatra is a Sanskrit word derived from the roots “ya” and “tra”. The word “ya” means movement and “tra” means “to liberate”.

Yatra is a journey that helps us overcome physical and mental conditioning that we have created for ourselves unconsciously and which limit us. The whole idea of a yatra is to liberate us from this conditioning.
