In 1980, I lived there for at least 6 months. At that time, this ashram was lively and vibrant. In this ashram we used to practice Transcendental Meditation and hopping every day. The TM program was a craze at that time. At that time, the ashram in-charge was Shri Surendra Brahmachari. The ashram was very beautifully organised and the garden was excellent. There were so many different kinds of flowers. The food was cooked in pure cow's ghee. My residential cottage number was 69. It was beside the river Ganges.
Hi Gabriel, we are always on the opposite of the world, right now I am in Hollywood Los Angeles. Looking at the stars on the street, like you were doing a year ago in your video. And now you're exploring India. The hole world is yours. Thank you for taking us along...
Cool, enjoy California. Are you from there? If you get the chance make sure to get out of the city and explore some of the beautiful nature of California like Joshua Tree, Yosemite and other places in the Sierras. The mountains and forests there are incredible.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I have been hiking the pacific crest trail from campo to mojave desert so I have been out there for 6 weeks... I come from Sweden. Yes I will enjoy! Thank you!
Wow really amazing ❤️🙏 Rishikesh best destination for all human in this world and the peacest and lovely religion Hinduism welcome you in Rishikesh ❤️🙏
Thank you Gabriel. Brings back so many Memory's. We were there in 2017 actually the very same time when you were there. I wished I had known at the time as I would have shared the vodka I had on board as it is not easy to get a drink there. On a side note we fell in love with the Little Buddha Café. I had seen it on your 10 bucks a day India series. Nutella and Banana Pancakes. Well done and many thanks.
Wow feels like a De Ja wu. Ive seen your vlog in 2017, and I guess this place has a strong connection with you. Could be nostalgia, Beetles. LOl. I will watch it if you vlog here again after 5 years.
You always surprise me and this video was so enjoyable. I remember when the property was so in decline and they really have brought it back to life. I hope the spirit is still present. Thanks for the journey pack in time and the marvelous music
Gaby do visit kedarnath and gangotri origin of ganga point if you can. You are one of the only vlogger from GENERATION X and it feels relieving listening to you in that old school notebook travelling way. God bless you.
Things deteriorate much quicker in the tropics and in places with high humidity. This video shows how the seemingly permanent concrete structures we build today are far less robust than the many thousand-year-old stone structures that you've visited on this trip. It makes me think of George Clemenceau's comment on seeing the newly-completed administrative buildings of New Delhi in the 1920s: "What beautiful ruins these will make!"
Swastika name itself is sanskrit and its roots are in Indian it may have gone to Ukraine or other places by people of indian origin migrating out of India
I respectfully disagree. The Aryans did not migrate out of India but rather into India from the European Steppe to Iran then to India, as evidenced with Hindi being Indo-Iranian and belonging to the Indo-European language.
It is amazing and at the same time disturbing to see this once beautiful place in such ruined condition. Why is this place not renovated? There is so much potential there, for a museum, a hotel, ashram and more.
There is some sort of aesthetic to it. Every ruin has it. Sometimes it is better to imagine what was there then to actually be there. And also money money tourism money🤑🤑.
Hi Gabriel, nice vid ! You should go see patna waterfalls - its upstream from laxman jhula. I was there yesterday and its really magical ! Greetings 🖖🏻
GABE as always bahut-bahut dhanayavad bhai sab 🙏🏻. Really nice tour dude. I skipped going into Chausari ashram in 2019 because I wax low on funds and the price being charged for foreigners was 450 rupees I think 🤔. I'll definitely go in in March 2023. Keep doing your best. Jai Hind 🇮🇳!
Another interesting tour . Here and Greece i think are your favourite places. Could i suggest you come to Scotland some summer to explore all the sights we have here. Anytime you have been here has been winter so summer in the uk would be good to see :) There is a place at Eskdalemuir in Scotland that you would like .It is called the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery that is a very interesting place . Im sure you will have heard of it . Also all along the south west coast of Scotland all the way north is a wonderful place to roam and full of history.
Hey Gabriel, if you ever plan to Kedanath, please be careful. Looks like the new system is not solving issue and stil it it is a mess in Kedarnath due to rush. So either plan or go at your own risk. Hotel availability even if you book is not a guarantee. May be it will improve incoming days.
nowadays very few want to go there. People like parks, mall,water parks and movies. That's why it looks like that. Things have changed in the last decade.
@@techtrancegateway I've been to Rishikesh. There are over two hundred ashrams there and before covid they were thronged with people from all over the world. Parmath Niketan has a thousand rooms and sometimes they are all full. Plus in 2109 when I was there there was a frenzy of new hotel construction, especially in Laxman Jhula and Tapovan.
Hippies were essentially against consumerist, capitalist and highly competitive Western culture of that era and were spiritually attracted towards the East in general and India in particular, bands like Beatles provided popularity to them. So called sub-culture or anti-culture namely Hippies was never part of Indian society neither it is now, we hosted them as frugal tourists and so did a long list of countries starting from Turkey to Pakistan
I agree with the comments. The “hippie culture” in India/ Nepal is very concentrated in certain areas. I agree not in Rishikesh but it is in neighboring Laxman Jula and Tapovan. Thank you for your comments.
Formally called Chaurasi kuti ( 84 meditation huts) it was built with money donated by an American Heiress. It started to be developed as a tourist location in about 2015 .
Beatl singer are disiple of mahes jogi.specialy joan harrison. Is joan harrison american? That time This place different.population was very little.stil few europian and american are living here. Sorry for my spellings.i khow very little enlish. From india
Ruins of stuff built in the 60s/70s with one of those signs in front of them is kinda bizarre lol. Why, if it’s just some side building? Maybe it’s intentional as some art thing?
It’s a shame , that the buildings are not maintained…..it could be a big boost for tourism…. And they could use the rooms for shops, hostel and classes….. does TM foundation still own the land..?????….❤️❤️🇺🇸…. Beatle fan….🙂
A blesssed good day sir Gabe Wowww what a nice Mind blowing beautiful very interesting Holy place of ashram India, so Very impressive Abandoned Meditation Domes, and Buildings,and and I'm So Surprised and happy to see The Beatles Photo Taken for so many years, amazing Murals,and Symbols, I hope this place to build and renovate again, for the next Generation this place is so Wonderful, 👏👏👏👏😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 thank u so much sir Gabe for your excellent Wonderful video tour Godbless from your solid fan viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏👏👏
Hi Gabriel, Please meet our Jews community sometimes in Maharashtra and goa, You will find out they lived with us in harmony for centuries Also there is a synagogue in kolkata whose maintenance is done by the muslims around the area Siddi community of Gujrat who are descendent of Africa. also take a ride through Hyderabad to Bengaluru via NH-44 the most beautiful highway on earth. (make sure to ride only on daytime) you will love it
I'm not into religion, but I do consider myself a very spiritual person. Watching these series of videos about India, I find it interesting how such religious people seem to be always in the pursuit of peace and love, yet as any other society now a day, I see their struggles to survive and live a decent life. Hence, allowing the worries of this life take a hold of the of their true purpose. Perhaps because they have yet to learn how to really worship in Spirit and in Truth.
I remember seeing them referenced somewhere in India once, but it was misspelled as the Beatless, which is funny because the extra s gives it the exact opposite meaning.
Yes it is true and India was still struggling country busy with socialistic policy in 70s and economy not opened. Everything changed after 1990s when India decided top open up economy and since then it has been assimilating with world economy, though not as fast.Western influence on domestic population was negligible till 90s.
Oldest Swastika are found in Ukraine. It tells us Indian Culture is widespread in all Eurasia. India is the most oldest civilisation. Oldest site of vedic civilization is "Bhirana", Haryana date backs to 8000 BCE which is atleast 10000 year old.
So called swastika is essentially an Aryan race symbol and it chiefly depicts the Sun though many interpret it as symbol of intercourse. You will find Swastika wherever there were Aryan race people, that's it.
@@rasheednode If you look to the sky, towards the north and want to identify the Pole Star, you have to first seek the Big Dipper constellation. Dipper means a ladle, the kind used to put ghee in the yagna fire. This ladle-shaped constellation has seven stars. In Hindu scriptures, it is known as Sapta Rishi Mandal, or the constellation of the seven seers. The outer rim of the ladle, directly, has two stars. When we stretch an imaginary line across these two stars, it reaches the Pole star. The interesting thing to note about the Big Dipper is that it is seen in the sky all through the day and all through the year. All through the day, it rotates around the Pole Star. And all through the year, we notice that the starting position changes, so it is up in winter and down in summer, to the left in spring and to the right in autumn. The Big Dipper, thus mapped around the Pole Star through the year, makes the Swastika sign. Dhruva Tara represents immortality. The child who sits on the lap of god. The Pole star also represents the soul, the home of Shiva, the wisest one. The four ladles, in the four directions, represent the seven sages making offerings to the Yagya Purusha, who also embodies the Pole Star all through the year to ensure good (su) happens (asti) in all seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter. This is of course art, poetry and philosophy being projected to the stars. Hence the orgin is in India
I respectfully disagree. The Aryans did not migrate out of India but rather into India from the European Steppe to Iran then to India, as evidenced with Hindi being an Indo-European language.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Makes sense. It was more of a gradual process, until the buildings were no longer maintained. It reminds me of some abandoned buildings that had been used for accommodation that you have come across on the Island of Brach, Croatia, and also somewhere in Greece if I remember correctly.
@@subaaaan Yes it had to be abandoned as it fell under Forest reserve. On a side note, Mahesh Yogi was a celebrity Yogi with little impact on domestic India.
