Chakra Tirth

Chakra Tirth / चक्रतीर्थ

Chakra Tirth is famous throughout all Mathura mandal. It is near Ambarish Tila.The place of Maharaja Ambarish , where he worshipped the Supreme Lord with all the limbs of pure devotion.
Once, this devoted king was about to break his Ekadashi fast at the auspicious moment on Dvadashi when the sage Durvasa arrived at his palace.
The sage's behaviour towards King Ambarish displeased Lord Vishnu's chakra, who chased Durvasa around the universe for an entire year.
Durvasa fled even up to Brahmalok and Shivalok, but the chakra pursued him relentlessly. Finally, he reached Vaikunthalok where Lord Vishnu advised him to go back to Ambarish , fall at his feet and beg forgiveness.
Durvasa did so, and Ambarish prayed to the chakra to spare Durvasa. It was by these prayers that the chakra stopped, and the sage's life was spared.
One who bathes here is liberated from sin, even the sin of killing a brahmana. By the mercy of Sudarshan chakra, he will obtain darshan of the Supreme Lord and his life will become successful.^[1]
