      Varanasi or Kashi is a very old city, partially destroyed by invaders and then again rebuilt. It is called the eternal city. The Shiva temple has the jyotirlingam. A lingam (linam + gamayati) means symbol or form. If one is receptive, it can activate one's spiritual process. Understand that although Hinduism first understood spirituality, it is not that spirituality is for Hindus only. It is for humankind. One's body is accumulation of food and one's mind is accumulation of ideas and impressions formed by the data collected by sense organs or extensions thereof (gadgets). But is that all or are we beyond our body and mind? Today quantum physics also thinks that all are not real and are just our interpretation and this world. as it appears is created by our collective consciousness. To understand that just not by inference like the scientists, but to know that in one's experiential level is spirituality. Also, in the place where you had your thali, there was a picture of goddess Kali with Shiva at her feet. The word "Kali" comes from "Kaala" meaning time. Time as we know destroys all. Our ego is too small infront of time. But Shiva depicts "Kaleswara" or dimension beyond time as we understand. All our physical activity is bound in the space-time dimension. Since Shiva depicts a dimension beyond that, he is shown sleeping (no physical activity). When Kali "touches" him, she stops, because time can travel only that far and no further. The liberation is not just because of Ganges. Varanasi has been thronged for thousands of years by yogis and enlightened beings. It is said that their effect on the soul departing from the physical body helps in liberation. So, people come there to die.

    in 1897 Mark Twain wrote, “Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” Varanasi is a Must, still. Another quote, by an unknown author: "After one week in Varanasi I thought, they were all crazy over here, - after 3 months I thought: the people in V. are the only sane people on earth. Very nice video!!

Namaste, my friend. 🙏🏼❤️

    • @JohnSmith-qf7yz
      @JohnSmith-qf7yz 5 років тому +3

      Exactly...it's raw coz spirituality has never been a commandments-for-masses thing here, it has always been a decentralised practice with all sort of school of thoughts. For eg you find everything from polytheism to monotheism to pantheism to animism to even atheism in Hinduism and all of them survived to this day. However, too much decentralisation sometimes makes it difficult for people to walk on spiritual path for eg that sage in the video who was smoking- that's corruption and lack of self-restraint.

    • @pbjsilverstudio4882
      @pbjsilverstudio4882 5 років тому +10

      Rajat Saini that is one of the key reasons I want to travel through India. The diversity of spiritual beliefs and practices makes India one of the most powerfully spiritual countries in the world. As a Buddhist, I believe we are each responsible or for our own spiritual path. Each of us has a personal journey through each life we live. How we live our life determines much of what will attach to us in a future life. We are born to be happy and to help others. That is my belief.

    Whenever we feel low or depressed we just go to ghats, sit there, watch the Ganga Arti and it feels like all the stress, worries have been heard by someone. It feels like yes everything would be fine.

    The tapestry of India is quite incredible...the sights, sound and smell will overpower even Indian's who have been away from it all for a bit...but there is always this inner calling and longing to go back. There is this unfulfilled feeling and hole in the heart. So much bond and affinity to this sacred land because of the way humanity has been etched in a billion + people strong India!!

    I live in Varanasi and this was by far the best video shot about Varanasi. Our Prime Minister has been elected from Varanasi and this is the reason for it be twice cleaner than what it was 10 years ago. I would suggest visitors to blindly follow the recommendations and reviews about Indian cities on tripadvisor as most of the content written by travelers there, is unbiased and authentic. Also, November-March are the best months to visit India.

    Well i am from varanasi( also known as Benaras/Kashi) and i have been there since my birth. The thing about benaras which you tried to show but you coudn't is that nobody can capture the feelings. What is special about benaras can only be felt, not captured. Its some spiritual energy & connection to the almighty and all the people, that you feel simultaneously one with all the beings. It overwhelms you. It always makes you wonder about life,death, afterlife, re-birth etc. Benaras can only be felt, it cant be captured or told. People must visit this place & try to stay for a week to get the vibe of energy and connection present there. There is a temple- Sankat Mochan Mandir. Visitors should go there & just sit there. Its always a magical experience. To all the people who plan to visit benaras/varanasi, i can only say that when you visit this place, try to see beyond materialistic things. You will have amazing experience.

It's one of the few videos I've ever watched on UA-cam where the energy seems to radiate through the screen. Varanasi has been coming up in my periphery a lot lately and I think your video's a sign that I should go. Thank you, brother, for sharing your experience with us.

Incidentally, Varanasi is my hometown and I grew up there before moving to Canada. Your video really made me nostalgic, those "ghats" you showed are the place where we would go for our evening "chai" after classes got over. I am hoping I will be able to visit India soon after the pandemic is over. Thanks for uploading this video.

I've always been curious of India and all of its culture but I still kinda have this hesitation of going there, in case travels are allowed again, but hearing your unfiltered experiences gives a much clearer idea of how to travel the country. Hopefully I can convince myself to do so. And oh, has anyone mentioned that your somehow 'crooked' teeth is kinda cute and charming? 😉

Next time you want to see the Ganga arti which you covered in the last part of the video, you can hire the boat just 30 to 45 mins before the Ganga arti starts and tell the boat man to take you to the front of the arti and stop your boat there. In this video you were on the back side of the arti. You will have to stay there till the end as there will be boats on all side soon since every one wants to cherish the view of Ganga Arti from the front. The boat guy will help you get an awesome view of the entire Ganga arti which will be just mesmerizing. You need to see it to believe it.

    I am seeing this video just now and you gave us a better perspective of Varanasi than what I could see it enjoy on my visit about 4 years back, though I am an Indian, we stay in the southern part of India. Thank you very much. Wish you visit India again and get to see our holy places. I wish to add, there could be lot of dust and dirt, quite unorganized, but at a spiritual plane it's something one cannot fathom. That's the uniqueness.

    i have 500gigs of video footage from varanasi and its been 2 years and i still haven't edited it because it just doesn't feel where to start at nor how to end.

    Sorry all the guys who think that Varanasi is dirty but I am sure that after 5years or so that city will be as clean as American cities

      Modi hai to namunkin hai. Congress aayegi to aur jyada kharab ho jayegi.

    Hi Dan! Thank you so much for filming india in such a beautiful way, thank you for seeing the positive energy even in the clutter. my parents and myself are native from Varanasi (i was born their) but moved to New Delhi for father's job and our schooling. But i myself have never fallen in love with Varanasi like this before. Kudos to your patience even in that chaos, since its very old city it wasnt planned and then built. Yes Ganga cleaning project has been taken very seriously by our current PM., In the end, I would like to invite you at my home for a lunch in New delhi, in case you happen to be here again. And yes, you have had a beautiful upbringing, only someone who is full of compassion and gratitude can see goodness in others! Keep up the good work! :) :) Love from India!
