Why is it called Vaikuntha of the earth?
Calling Badrinath Dham the Vaikuntha of the earth is not just a belief, but a belief linked to deep religious faith and mythology. In the scriptures, Badrinath Dham has been considered as Vaikuntha of the earth i.e. the abode of Lord Vishnu on earth. It is believed that Lord Vishnu had performed rigorous penance here in Satyayuga. This place is so dear to him that it is considered his actual residence. It is said in the scriptures, there are many pilgrimage sites in the sky, earth and underworld, but there was no pilgrimage like Badrinath before and there will never be one. Just by visiting here one gets freedom from the bondage of birth and death. According to the legend, when Lord Vishnu was doing penance, Goddess Lakshmi took the form of a Badari (plum) tree to protect him from the sun and rain. Due to this dedication of the mother, this place was named Badrinath.
Importance of Badrinath Dham
Badrinath Dham’s place among the Chardhams is considered very special. This Dham is situated on the banks of Alaknanda River and situated in the lap of Himalayas, this pilgrimage site gives a wonderful experience of spiritual peace. According to religious beliefs, visiting Badrinath Dham destroys all sins and attains salvation. This place is included in the 108 Divya Vaishnav Tirthas, also known as Divya Desam. Adi Shankaracharya had revived this Dham and established it as a major pilgrimage site, due to which its importance increased even more.
