What is Dham Seva?

Dham Seva is a non-profit institution, dedicated for helping and fulfilling the desires of His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), in relation to holy places and Varnashram.

The prime focus of this institution is to help to reveal the holy places and create facilities for devotees and people in general to come to such holy places and become Krsna Conscious and enhance their Krsna Consciousness.

“The holy places all over the earth are meant for purifying the polluted consciousness of the human being by an atmosphere surcharged with the presence of the Lord's unalloyed devotees. If anyone visits a holy place, he must search out the pure devotees residing in such holy places, take lessons from them, try to apply such instructions in practical life and thus gradually prepare oneself for the ultimate salvation, going back to Godhead.”  [SB.1.13.10 purp.]

"The importance of holy places of pilgrimage is due to the presence of great sages and saints. It is said that sinful persons go to the holy places and leave their sins there to accumulate. But the presence of the great saints disinfects the accumulated sins, and thus the holy places continue to remain sanctified by the grace of the devotees and saints present there." [SB.1.19.33 purp.]

The Lord appears periodically in this world, revealing His personal dealings with His devotees in order to attract lost souls to the path of Bhakti, which pleads to their eternal home land.

The Holy Dham is a replica of that home land functioning to prepare us for that final home coming.
