- Varanasi. There are very few words to describe this place. It must be experienced.
In this video, I try my best to share my own experience of Varanasi. I stayed for 5 days, but only an 8 minutes video came out of it. ;)
thank you for watching and let me know in the comments below if you have ever been to Varanasi.

Have you ever been to Varanasi?
we all hindus have t go to the Ganga after death so varanasi is our final destination,,,,,but I will must visit varanasi after completing my studies....when you see those half naked sanyasis[monks] you really learn what is life,,,what is eternal and what is temporary...Jay Shri Krishna
Such a memorable time there. Went with my mom and aunt, saw some stuff. Wish I would have explored more and heard great things about the street food
never
Jay Kashi Vishwanath 🙏
Yes, many times.
I left my soul in India..As Mark Twain said "The Indians seem poor to us rich Westerners,..but a matter of spirit we are the poorest and they are the billionairs.."
Do visit once ! Don’t miss 7 Nov ! It’s Dev Diwali !
@@abhinavsingh-tw6fg I did!
Mark Twain says, “Varanasi (Banaras) is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”
India is not poor in the matter of money also
@@alexalbin2333 go and search about Mark Twain.then you better understand. I don't know english but i understand literally. Mark Twain said something about varanasi---- please check your knowledge. Please don't laugh anybody's emotions.
Very emotional vid , beautiful, thanks Gabi , as a 60 year old who has not eaten any animal flesh in 40 years I say we should be kind to all living things . Thanks.
come here to varanasi
Yes, very emotional vid. I'm turning 48this month, 32 years without animal flesh. Compassion and equal rights to all living bings. Om shaanti
@@rafalkotowski3621 credit to you sir ,thank you .
@@priceisking2943 I intend to , Gabi has opened my eyes to the North India region . I have always wanted to ride the Himalaya mountain railway also .
@@timhanser1943 I hope you go to Himalayas and find the light within you. Himalayas has changed so many people and their perspective in life. I hope you feel the energy of silence in that place.
Yes, I was many times in Varanasi. The first time was in 1990. In that time I was very young, only 23 years old and I felt very impressed. Till now Varanasi is so much impressive but I really feel at home there, I always take a bath in the river. India for me is where I feel free to be whom I am.
I dont know how to explain. I'm brasilian but my heart in Hindu. Next march 2023 I will be there again. Now I'm in Siliguri, West Bengal.
Hindus believe by birth we are hindus, because we dont do any kind of baptism or any other process to be in one religion. All r one, god is one. Any form your worship u will reach same place. Love❤
May bhagwan ji bless your soul 🙏🤍
Most welcome
🙏🙏🙏🙏 every religion is same ❤❤❤❤❤
❤️🙏🌻"Break the Relation between body n family n soul is free". Beautifully explained. Death is the ultimate truth of life. Must b powerful indeed.
Mark Twain says, “Varansi (Banaras) is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”
Slightest of desire and you are back with a bang.
@@ganeshnh that's why you should do meditation
I’ve been there and words can hardly explain it. You did a wonderful job of capturing its essence. Thank you. Om Nama Shivaya

Namaste Gabi! I've been to Varanasi, it definitely had a similar impact on me as well man. Very greatful for your effort in showing India as it is. Btw, in 7'17 min there are to cows sitting on the street and lady in blue saree approaching one of these cows and at 1st touching Mother Cow ( "Go Mata") and then her forehead. Real India. Thanks for sharing and one line I won't forget....'cremation is education'. Freaking powerful statement. Om namah Shivaya. grazie.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🇮🇳
Ohmm Namah Shiva

I m happy that You noticed and explain very well about that lady 😇
I was going to explain the same then I thought that It would be too much.
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
ohm namha shivaya......we all are one
What is learning? and Education?
Indians are truly very down to earth and understand what is life better than anyone.
Only the wise one
@@oo-lu2rc everyone will just open your hearts
Not all of the them .... at least not the ones living here in Canada . They are super rude , misogynistic and arrogant ! stop romanticizing Indians
How abt the smell?
I'm not the squeamish type because I've made friends with Horror.
I visited Varanasi 30 years back and this experience lives still in my heart. there is a saying - India you can love ore hate - I fell in love with this place and this love never left me
Gila..my very same sentiments..if you "get India"she is with you daily..I did get India..I love North & South.. Kerala is my favourite area..Poovar for me...
Definitely the most intense places I've ever been to! Thanks so much for this incredible vlog...I'm hoping to get back there early next year.
I am waiting for new vlogs in India
I hope you can cover not only Varanasi , Uttarakhand as well
Welcom miss ..... ☺️☺️☺️☺️
You are welcome, अतिथि देवो भव 🙏😊
i was in varanasi in 1991. i was 20 and blown away. chillum and charras together with the sadhus just intensified the experience. jai hind
@@Shivmangalofficial maybe.charras was spiritual enough for me 😂
Learn more about charras, no one sadhus take charras but take chillum.
All that this joker could take from Varanasi is chillum and charas !! that's karma.
@@aietraderwal460 What did you take from varanasi? I was having a good time with Sadhus and many things else.They were not judging like you.Your Karma is being frustrated and judgmental. I will pray for you.
Well tbh its not a joke to sit with sadhus and have such experience they dont involve everyone
Varanasi is a 5000 years old city !
It's seen almost everything since the beginning of Indian civilization.
I doubt it might be older..
5000 bc we had such a complex rig vedic system, it couldn't have just been made in 100 or so years, would have taken milleniums
5250 years ago mahabharat is happened so it is very older city might be 10,000 or 15,000 years ago if archaeological activity happens in this place many many things came out…maybe mare than 20,000 years ago
Mark Twain, the English author and literature, who was enthralled by the legend and sanctity of Benaras, once wrote :

Billions year ago bro ,it is the place which appear very first time as a tapu from water ..
@@devsingh99990 it was jharkhand not kashi
Being an Indian I am surprised that how almost every part of the country is so diverse from each other.
Yes 😉
It's very beautiful!
India is not a country. It is a world.
Why are you surprised? India was never a country before the British. South Asians identified based on religion, caste, and language, and when foreigners came and told them they were all "Indians" nobody understood what that meant. Just read books of medieval travellers to India. India is like Europe, but even more diverse because people from all over the world settled there in ancient times (well, except black Africans).
@@xpertnoahgaming1289u can't understand it
" God is one, just many names" , what a wise saying ! 🌸🌸🙏🙏 ....India is the most spiritual country in the world, one have to be open minded and open hearted to encounter powerful Wisdom whilst travelling in India, i think you have the spirit and love for this overwhelming place. Thank you so much for this video, appreciate your vid. and lovely people you meat on your travel..
If one wants to experience India. Come not as a tourist mindset. Come as a pilgrim. You will be changed person by the end of the visit.
i think the same way god is one and each cals different names
In Vedas -- Rigveda .. the first few Hyms like this "Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti"
It's only in Hinduism it is written in the texts and also preached, that God is only One but called by different names, no other religion says that. Hinduism gives you the freedom to find your own God. It doesn't force absolutely anything onto you. Neither has it ever used any means to spread the relgion. It is totally organ ic in nature. The central core is self-realisation, good karma and worship of God for the peace of your mind and your own welfare. If one reads the texts like Geeta, Vedas, Upnishads and other's, one would realise how powerful and full of unbelievable knowledge and wisdom they are.
I went to Varanasi in January 1964 when I was 24 years old. I was amazed to say the least. People were bathing in the Ganges in 39 degrees Fahrenheit. I was blessed to be able to go at such a young age? From Indiana USA
1964 great to hear, how was ur experience in those days,want to hear from u sir
@@vijayk6532 I may not get there again. I am 83 years of age. However I would like to visit Northeast India which seems to be a mixture of Indian and Southeast Asian cultures. Knee problems may prevent any more foreign travel. I have been to 42 countries. My living expenses are very low. Travel is the best education concerning other folks in the world. I especially love Asian cultures and people.
@@richardcollins4235if you ever want to come here, feel free to tell me.
Age is just a number,we need to know more adventurous stories in future,thank you
1964...what was your experience like in those days... .I've been to varanasi in 2011...it was a mixture of emotions for me... Was a huge culture shock.... I agree, travel is the best for of education.... Wish you a long and healthy life so you can still travel.
1964 is a special year for my family.. My parents were married in September of that year... Mum 86 dad passed at age 70.
GOD is ONE but many NAMES - well said! Love and regards from a Malaysian Tamil Hindu🙏🙏🙏
I have been in Varanasi about 5 years ago and yes, it got to me too. I guess I've changed a lot since my visit to India. Especially I have found peace within myself.
Amazing! I’m a Brazilian and I’ve been to Banares in 2020. And your video can bring me back there. Thank you! Hare Krsna! Om Namah Shivaya
In 1996 I arrived in India with a backpack and Lonely Planet guide. I was a 46 year old woman traveling alone. After traveling around for three weeks, I had planned to go to Varanasi but I met some French travelers at a hostel in Delhi and they had just returned from Mussoorie and were singing its praises. The idea of a hill station town with the Himilayas in sight sounded more refreshing. Still glad I made the choice. I'm vicariously traveling again via your videos.
I have a long term experience with India and I can subscribe to all that is said in the video. India is so incredible that it is hard to describe in words. If someone says I have seen the world but they have not seen India, then they have not seen the world.
As soon as I leave India and go back to my home country, I start longing to return to India.
These videos increase the longing massively to put my feet on India's magical soil again. Thank you for sharing your experience with India. Greetings from Italy's neighbour Johann from Switzerland.
I am from Varanasi ❤️ I am blessed to born in this sacred land..
I'd love to visit Varanasi!!💓
@@m._.e777 you are welcome ❤️ please visit some day..

Dashashwamedh ghat oe bhid kab kam hoti hai? Kis time ghato pe easily jaya ja sakta hai?
I absolutely loved the way you caught on video the beauty and reality of Varanasi. I have been twice and both times touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing this.
As a person brought up in Varanasi, I have to tell you, nobody likes Varanasi the first day. It's not the kind of city to like on the first day. You feel and absorb Varanasi slowly and it grows on you. I didn't like the city growing up. I moved to delhi for my college stayed there for 8 years and came to Banaras. but as I started to understand the spiritual connection. The kind of connection Varanasi makes with you no other city will. This city is filled with chaos and yet the ghats are peaceful, and you absorb it piece by piece after every visit. I remember when I was 12 and I was walking around on the ghats and there was a polish lady and I asked her "why do people come to to Varanasi, its so chaotic here." she replied "You don't know?, probably because you don't know what peace is. It peaceful on the ghats just walk around you'll learn a lot". At that time I thought I didn't get what she was talking about. But I recall that conversation every time I go to the ghats.
(Also this time the water level was way higher than usual, it's way down usually.)
Wow. Amazing incident you had at the ghat
are you joking ?varanasi has nothing..
people have no civic sense they dont love ther own city...
people are fighting for small things
people have no driving sense they honk all time
if you are from outside they will tell you price of everything 100 percent more so they have no honesty...
being oldest city it should have been most developed city of world but it has nothing...
if u buy aparments ther is no maintainence..
people dont follow what they say...always lie...
from.the point you get down in airport ..railway station to untill u leave there is full line of cheaters...few foreginers come to varanasi because media shows ot as place of meditations..but almost all regret after coming here because what they see it exact opposite..
No doubt about that but you forgot to tell about one thing that is castism. How Brahmans treat low cast people there. No respect they have at all. Its all show off in front of foreigners.
@@sashas5840 city in only to roam its worst city to live actually..with no infra,no civic sense and ppl cheating outsiders at every point..
I am coming to Varanasi from Bangalore in Jan 2023 and would love to meet a local and understand Varanasi better. Will you be available to help me understand?
7:15 it's shows how Indians respect animals and nature 🕉️❤️❤️
Lmao they think cows are their relatives..😂
Yes we do because it gives us milk like our mother so we consider it as a mother
@@Controcrow I live in Europe and I think so too.
are you a moslam? stop halal torture@@El_Deen
Indian respect animals?! 😂I think that's the funniest thing I heard today!
Gabi Probably one of the best video about Varanasi.Thanks to share it, Regards from Buenos Aires Argentina ,the other side of the World.
Thank you Juan 🙏🏻
Mark Twain says, “Varanasi (Banaras) is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”
Hey dude I found out your channel 2 days ago and 'cause I'm trying improve my English, one of my biggest dream is visit India idk why but everytime I watch something about India I feel some different energy, the way that u speaks is to easy to understand thank u so much bro!
Try visiting around Nov-Dec dude that way you'll skip the summer heat.
It's a legit psychological thing. When you come to India from a corporate lifestyle in the west the chaos here hits you like a tonne of bricks it's an overload on your senses.
I just have ti remind you, since thsi man forgot to do so : NEVER take a bath in the Ganges, never wash anything in it. It is one of the world's most pollutes river, unfiltered chemicals from the factories, unfiltered sewage water, the remnants(of whole, not burned) bodies in the water...unhealthy as it can be.
Namaste! I was in Varanasi about a week before you were there in 2022! Yes, the river level was very high for that time of the year, it wasn't even possible to walk through the ghats. I went there to celebrate my 50th birthday, that was on Diwali. On those dates there was a solar eclipse, and you can imagine how intense and mystical Varanasi was. I love Varanasi wholeheartedly, from the very first time I went there 28 years ago. Varanasi touched my soul in ways that only can happen in Varanasi.
Varanasi ( also called as "Kashi" ) is actually more than 5000 years old city !! This is world's oldest living City , a heritage site indeed !!
It has also very relevant place in Hinduism and one of the most sacred city !!
Jai Hind ! Jai Bharat ! 🇮🇳
"We are just here as guests, for a short time" what a beautiful sentence ..... I love it, thanks Gabi for this amazing tour in India

This is the only place one can become so humble .one can see the temple and burial place.
I must say, your Italian heart affected me here. I’ve always known Varanasi is a death portal but your experience there as well as the way the Indians relate to you, as an Italian with warmth and love is beautiful. I am touched by this video.

We will listen your good advise and try our best
So nice to see you in Varanasi, Gabi! This brought back so many memories. I remember standing with a friend for three hours at midnight to 3 am watching the burning of a young man's body! I enquired the family about who this person was and they told me, he was only 29 yrs. Their family had a successful landscaping business but all the money could not save their son's life! He had cancer but no medical treatment saved him. I was so touched to hear their stories and this video really brought back all those beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing it with us, Gabi! You are doing some great Seva by capturing all these beautiful experiences of India!
Varanasi is very intense, to say the least. But also very powerful.
My city banaras ❤
बिल्कुल
Not that great
@@sheilakijawani2526Ok, so what place to you is holy and special?
I am an Indian and been to Varanasi multiple times, but I am stunned how you made us experience Varanasi through this video. Incredible, India is a beautiful country and has a lot to offer to the world in terms of wisdom and divinity.
Hello from Russia.
I have been to India twice and spent most of my time in the city of Varanasi.
I've even done my ablutions in ganga as a local resident in accordance with the traditions. And even managed to visit Kashi Vishwanath the day after Mahashivaratri.)
It's a city where people come to die, but it's also a city with a huge concentration of life. You have to go there to feel it. It's a fantastic place. ❤
Christ, so you bathed in the river?!
Your local resident forgot to mention that it's one of the world's mist polluted rivers? Unfiltered chemucals from the factories, unfiltered sewage water, the remnants of the cremated bodies, it is not healthy at all to bath in that water.
Love and greetings from India :)
Fascinating video,,This place looks from another world,,I feel that this place it's the real India with real Indians,,thx,a lot for the tour 🎩
I also felt the same when I wan on the bot in the evening.. what I was seeing was surreal

Watching our historic culture through your eyes with this background music and info ✨ it's feels amazing.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes, I was in Varanasi in 2002, and witnessed many of the sites that you went to. The public cremations produced some very sobering feelings and like you I'll never forget or regret my time there.
Wonderful video thanks and well done.

Take care brother.
I was in Varanasi way back 15 yrs ago..it was totally different then ...varanasi has drastically changed in these years
Good to see first hand it's not only me that noticed that. I've always wanted to go but haven't been beyond Haryana farming villages with gau mata and sleeping on rooftops under the stars, and H.P., including Shimla in '99 and '02. But I see many differences (in the images and feeling) it had 20 years ago when I saw footage from then to now. Thankfully it retains some of the old world colorful culture and charm, of dreamy India floating on air.
A lot more shops and people ?
Yes I heard that… I would love to see how it was before.
Not so different, I was there in 1980 with friends and we rented a small houseboat. Much quieter , population has increased since then as has tourism. Went back about 15 years ago just for a few days and the main difference apart from the increased number of people and vehicles is the shops - in 1980 there were very few though there was a government ganja shop !
Fantastic video
Ps Sarnath is worth a visit
@@jonnyreggae100 there are subtle differences in the spirituality of the people, to some it's not subtle, but very visible.
What a video man ..I as an Indian feel proud of being born to this holy land . We Indians are grateful to you for this video which is Raw and pure . Thanks a lot . Please come to India again ..I hope you had a great time here.

Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together. - Mark Twain
I was in Kathmandu watching them burn the bodies on the river - its very interesting to see and very intense also. The culture is so much more interesting in these places as it goes back thousands of years. They understand the connections and how consciousness works. Western culture is so alien to me now after learning how this all works. A lot of the rivers have ley lines running through them so the energy is very high. Some of the myths about the soul journey are likely not true as all souls are on a different journey and incarnate for different reasons. The idea that if they pass on at a particular place it will be the last incarnation is likely not the case but just part of the cultural beliefs. Its still a great experience anyway.
Pashipotinarth Kathmandu the Bagmati river is were you mean. I agree with your comments
They (Hindus) says its there holy water and I see the same people peeing and 💩 there, make the water so dirty that you cant even deep there,water pollution never to be seen like this.
Love from Nepal ❤️🇳🇵
@@tyronsimpson2143 no it's real thing in Kashi if you die your will be last life on this planet your soul will forever free.
The belief that you will not have reincarnate if you die in Kashi is only applicable to Kashi and no other place. This is the belief since time immemorial and is written in the ancient Hindu texts.
One of my fav places in India
Love from Himachal Pradesh the abode of snow and gods (India)
Iam proud to be an indian.the way you have explained about Varanasi very fabulous..... thank you
PLS SAY HINDU OR SANATANI,INDIAN MEANS NOTHING.
Thank you Gabi for your love for India and showing India without inhibitions.
I visited Varanasi in 1983. Still remember taking a dip in Ganges. First We take a handful of sand from Rameshwaram and deposit in Ganges. Then we take water from Ganges and travel to Rameshwaram and pour in the temple. Our body (matter) part of cosmos ultimately reaches God. One leaves behind all wealth behind in this world and try break cycle of rebirth through enlightenment which is ultimate goal of human birth.
I have been to Kashi ( varanasi).. it's beautiful.. the vibes of this city is absolutely great.. Har Har Mahadev

Lovely video Gabi. Visited Varanasi recently and was literally floored by the sights, smell, tradition and history of this ancient city.....the spiritual capital of India.
I have been Varanasi too, but I miss to be at Manikarnika. I have taken Darrshan of Lord Shree Kashi Vishwanath Mahadev and many other temples also do attend the evenings Maa Ganga Aarti at Ganga river. It's a very, very holi feeling to be their like God is walking with you. So pure and simple people around to us. We get lost in those visuals that we never expect or plan in life by emotionally, not physically.
May Lord Mahadev and maa Ganga always shower their blessings on each individual on this beautiful earth.
"God is one with many names"- what a beautiful statement. One thing that I am really proud about Hinduism, our Sanatan Dharma and our Indian values is the fact that our value system never promotes looking down upon someone else's religion or God. We are not taught to consider ourselves superior.
Thanks for your video. 'Nirvana' is a term primarily associated with Buddhism, whereas in Hinduism, it is known as 'Moksha'

@@mayurmhatre9384 Friend hi 👋🏻. I am going back to India 🇮🇳 in 2023.
@@TravelingEddie go there in 2025
@@TravelingEddie welcome my brother........☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@TravelingEddie from your multiple comments, i can clearly understand your enthusiasm for revisiting India. Good luck buddy. 👍 Take as much you can fro your upcoming trip.
You did such a beautiful job highlighting this wonderful, strange and spiritual place . I plan to travel there after the New year. I just left Delhi and Agra a few days ago and wow; India is intense! I'm glad I am so close living here in Bangkok because there is so much of India I want to see. I enjoy your videos!
I feel so proud of myself and my country. Thank you very much for such an awesome video. The person who was narrating the meaning of Life & Death justified it completely. We Indians hope that you have a good time and ask in comment section if you need any help.
I am from Varanasi ❤, missing my hometown 😢
I am planning to go to Varanasi since I am going to my home county 🇮🇳 after 4 years, 🙏🕉 thanks Gabi
welcome home
Great video, you really portrayed the vibe of this city well. I am currently traveling India and I have been in Varanasi the last two days. With our tour guide we went right to the cremation site, and the scene of the burning bodies accompanied with this horrible smell are something I will never forget. In this city the celebration of life and death is like nothing I‘ve ever experienced before.
You are an amazing person Gabi ..😊 ..thank you for depicting varanasi so beautifully through your eyes ...😊😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Varanasi has so many aspects a fully living culture, mysterious streets, thousands of temples, a divine place for dead, eternity of satisfaction, learnings for life & full of chaos... You have certainly shown it , thanks 🙏
Thank you for the great impressions of Varanasi, I was there 2 weeks ago and was also very impressed by the calmness and serenity I experienced walking down the gats. Also, I was shown some remarkable, wonderfull old temples (in bad repair) in the old town. The trip was an unforgettable experience that I really cherish.
Reminded me of my family's visit to Varanasi about 3 years ago. Still thinking about what we saw and experienced. Among the many mind blowing experiences was chancing upon the Virtual Experiential Museum and Jai Singh Observatory, located very close to the Ghat but most people miss. A must see for anyone visiting Varanasi to get a true sense of the immense history of the place, its many accomplishments, and the historical importance of the city. In addition to the Sarnath tourist center and Museum which are only 15 km away.
He only wants to show the dirties part of the river, dirtiest road, burning of dead bodies etc. Why would he waste his time on an observatory or a Museum ?
Wauw. I was in Varanasi back in 1996. It’s Looking exactly like then. That’s India. Like a time slot, where everything stand still.
Not presently.... Google out Kashi Vishwanath Corridor....it's PM Narendra Modi's constituency. Now, city has even metered gas pipe line.
Hi, Gabi.
I‘m not a rider or traveller, but your video about Rishikesh took me to here. (also watched some of your vlogs of India.)
I’m Japanese, and stayed in India for about 8 years before pandemic.
I love India but I stayed mostly in the South, so I haven't visited those places you travelled.
Thank you for sharing beautiful scenery and your experience.
I watched your vlogs in the late evening after having a very hard day. I enjoyed not only watching but listening to your calm and gentle voice (narration). I think you have a very beautiful heart, Gabi.
Hope you continue and share your amazing journey!!
Wish you a safe journey. ✨
Varanasi is my hometown, for me Varanasi is love , Varanasi is education, Varanasi is culture, Varanasi is everything and it makes be feel blessed to be born here. But I can tell you there is lot more to see and learn from here you have seen a very little of it , yet had a great impact on your souls.
Har Har Mahadev
Thank you bro showing our India to world
I visited Varanasi in October first week this year and what an experience it was. Such a nicely donr video, make me feel like visiting Varanasi again. I feel Varanasi is one place one can never get enough of. Thanks for the video
amazing and inspiring video - thanks a lot !
My city banaras ❤
I'm from Varanasi, born and brought up, and I was still amazed by the video. Great work.!
As being a citizen of varanasi,I am highly obliged with your review and now I have way more respect for this place. Trust me you go to the manikarnika ghat after midnight,and all the smoke from the cremation merges with the smoke of the incense sticks of the temple. That is the CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH. I love going there after midnight and all these late night strolls have attached me with this place.
Thanks Gabi for showing Varanasi in original form. So powerful , so religion , so spiritual. Indeed there is no place like Varanasi in the world. Chaotic but so peace giving.
Nothing much has changed in last 24 years except some renovations. And it shows the spiritual connection. It’s another world in this world.
If anyone wants to see the reality of this life , visit Varanasi. U may not like it initially in terms of luxuries and infrastructure but u will fall in love with its vibrancy once u start exploring and knowing it more and more. ❤
It was really a mesmerizing experience watching this video ....nicely framed nd portrayed the holy city ...Har Har Mahadev 🙏🙏🙏🙏
हर हर महादेव। Har Har Mahadev
What an immersive vlog, everyone looks so very alive. It brings back many a memory, even though there's so many inevitable changes. Thanks for taking us with you, we're happy to have discovered you.
Oh wow, great video, thank you for sharing. As a hindu myself, I can't wait to go on my pilgrimage. The thing I appreciate about much of India, is that the country is largely built up around Hinduism and how it is woven with the culture and every day life.
Thank u ji for a wonderful tour. Yes I've been to Varanasi. It is humbling. An attitude of acceptance is vital. Respect for both life and death. The transition is inevitable.
I like the way you introduce your videos - it's soulful and you try your best to bring out your emotions. Burning of bodies and this ghat in particular is the ugly side and the reality of our life. Don't let it sink in too deep. Learn from the people there how to live life to the fullest, despite seeing such bodies all the years. Even with small little things you will see people happy and thankful to God.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m an Indian and a stunned how Gabi has shown the reality of life in the mid of the video 😢🙏 Splendid work man!!
من یک ایرانی هستم و فیلم بنارس و میبینم خیلی ارزو دارم به انجا بروم و از نزدیک لمس کنم احساس میکنم مردمان مهربانی دارد و خیلی خاص هستن ❤
If you want to see some more of Varanasi you should visit villages of Varanasi.
Varanasi is like emotions for us ❣️ proud to be an Indian 😊
Thank you very much for showing your video ! I went to India in 2015, and Varanasi was the high light of my trip! it was a culture shock YES! but I was fascinated with the daily life on the mighty Ganges river The Ganga! I will be definitely going back to Varanasi. Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world today, I would definitely recommend Varanasi as a city to visit!
Extremely emotional video, Gabi. I am Indian but never got a chance to visit Varanasi, but after seeing this video I can't wait to be there.
