Life and death in Varanasi, the religious capital of India. Ritual bathing in the floods of ganges. Cremation at Manikarnika Ghat. Ganga aarti. Filmed with PANASONIC LUMIX GH. Created with MAGIX Video Pro X3
I was there this year: I am from Ireland . Go there and feel the energy of the place, it is amazing! I felt held and nurtured in its light embrace, and did not want to leave it. Holy, sacred place. Go there and be blessed.
When I saw that they threw the half-burned grandma into the holy river a felt blessed. And the people downstream who get the floating corps stranded at the bank must also feel blessed.
Those of us who are India die hards, keep returning to India in spite of the noise,pollution,over crowding,theft, bad food (Delhi belly) bad rooms and various rips offs because after all is said and done we come back from India with priceless experiences which cannot be found anywhere else. India has made me what I am today and anyone who has not been there cannot top it.
Magnifique reportage sur benares ( vanarassi ) c'est un pays envoûtant je suis allée 2 fois je n'ai qu'une envie retournée le plus vite possible,,c'est difficile à décrire ce que l'on ressent,,c'est magique,
Mr.Ludwig... இந்தியாவை அதன் கலாச்சார மென்மையுடன் மிக அழகாக பதிவு செய்து இருக்கிறீர்கள் இந்தியாவின் மிக உன்னதமான ஆன்மீக பூமியை நீங்கள் பதிவு செய்த விதம் மிக அருமை உங்களுக்கு என் நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்.😊
Stacy satay, of the hundreds of comments I read over the years, and I read many beautiful ones, but yours tops them all. The phrase ‘Mother India, You are All That is’ Is the most beautiful and meaningful ever about India. Remember Edith Steins’s ‘A rose is a rose is a rose‘ ? Yours conveys the same effect. Thank you
I will never understand how the clothes stay so white on the banks as they are laid out to dry on sand or earth....smiling....Mother India, You are All That Is. All That Is Humanity, All that is sacred, all that is difficult...LIFE all in one breath no matter where one stands. My heart is with you over and over Kashi....Jai India...
The sand sticks off when the cloth dries. But loved your love for Kashi(Benares) , do visit it once in your life. You'll feel beautiful about your life
After the new govt;s Namami Ganga project,there has been substantial improvement in cleaning, maintaining Ganga.. Also sewerage discharge in 180 towns along the Ganga is being diverted to STPs and only clean water will be discharged to Ganga. Even the religious practices are being advised to modify.But it takes time. The improvements done in just 3 years is wonderful. If same govt is there for another 5 years ,Ganga will be very clean as they have the determination to execute ..
Glad to know.. do visit Varanasi again now.. you'll be in awe of the developments that this city has brought in itself. (Visit between October to March for favourable weather conditions)
It's a majestic city with people and animals coexisting together. Let aside the filth on the streets, pollution , dirty river , Varanasi is a feeling . A showcase to great Hindu culture and rituals!!
I miss this place. May be this is the only place that I want to be back one day. I was there at Ganges Riverside almost everyday, morning and afternoon. The feeling is quite special, spiritual and the Ghats. May be I will get back here one day

@Budoshoha Yes, that too with a Panasonic camera. I mean kudos to the film maker. Nikon, Canon, Sony. So many superior options, yet he still chose Panasonic. I mean he did a great job with it. I saw the full potential of the camera. But, you know, Panasonic is, well, Panasonic! So..
Been to Varanasi, very spiritual place to be esp in the early morning. Loved the evening ceremonies as well tho, nice video it shows exactly what its like: in all the dirt also a lot of beauty. Namaste :)
I am living in Maharashtra, region of Bombay but this city Varanasi I saw first time...really I feel these people are still living in 16th Century and no chance they will escape from these traditions
thank you i enjoyed this. for the haters: in india, every morning every shopkeeper is out sweeping their front enterences they know Prosperity comes to cleanlieness nyc is also old (of course not this old) yet verry dirty. thats what happens
My ancestors from allabadh, my dad use to tell stories his gran use to tell him about Varnasi, my ancestors where brahmins, want to go back to India, with my family, one day soon.
Only in hinduism people practise different rituals to have moksha(liberation from our sins for our actions( karmas) in this life and past life..what a great traditions!
Pois e um dia tentei falar com o Sr Osny, e fui barrada por uma pessoa que falou que ele não fala com o público, que deixasse o recado que ela passaria a resposta. Achei um absurdo querer se comportar como um Deus, deixei de segui-lo e parei de assistir seus cursos. Humildade faz parte da vida.
liberation comes from acceptance. love and peace start from acceptance. i never write any comments but your comments has requested me to do so. Life is NOT what you learnt at school in the books. Life is much more than the books and laws you have learnt. life is to experience and accept. No ONE ever want to live in condition that is not comfortable to them. there must be a reason for present INDIA. history is, hence accept INDIA and different view. In difference , the real addition happens :)
You are right. Life is not what one reads in the books, life is being born, living in the streets of Calcuta and die on the street. This real life experience and very comfortable.
In india no one cares other's good or bad comments on this holy city. They wants their city as it is.many foreigners are coming to this place and taking videos and some others who couldn't come are watching them and commenting on them.every Indian is so conscious what is eternal truth in this world which lasts forever(soul).so they never cares anybody's comments and no comment even touch their surrounded air.
Stop praising this filthy country full of slums and beggers. Half of you Money begging Hindus live in the slums and shit behind the huts you sleep in. The air is so toxic from pollution that you can't breathe without covering your face in all cities surrounded by Delhi or bombay.
Dear friend... lotus grows in mud only....people who wants to enjoy the beauty of lotus they wont care the mud....still the mud is essential to grow lotus..and lotus beauty is priceless... Who looks the filth of mud can not enjoy lotus flowers beauty...whose mind and hurt filled by filth and mud never understand it..
You don't have to like or agree with how they live but it doesn't give you the right to make derogatory comments. No wonder the world is in the state it's in when there are people like you around. There is nothing wrong with accepting how others live.
Ja aj ja ja ja dilo en español ,que en ingles se te ve ridicula... que es hermoso???? En que planeta vives??? Creo que en 2 dias me muero de diarrea de tanta asquerosidad..
You are right: Indian philosophy is so advanced that for centuries you kept the people in ignorance. A Brahmin would not even let his wife have a look at his old dirty holy book.
It is my dream to visit India. But now a days every one is making me scared to visit. One day it will be more peaceful than now and my dream will come true.
Isto não parece um rio mas sim um esgoto gigantesco a céu aberto onde gente sem noção de higiene se banha. Como é possível em pleno século vinte e um haver pessoas com hábitos tão atrasados.
Amazing, washing on the Ganges river , and clothes look cleaner,whiter than my clothes that I wash in a washing machine using the most popular and expensive detergents😂😅.. really amazing!
The normal reaction of any person so seeing such filth and human beings living in desperate poverty is disgust and horror and pity. Yet this is all presented as though it's something wonderful, and if you dare to express any thought about it other than wholehearted support for this, you are called names.
i accept your love, your anger, your hate, your freedom and your leaving. that is represented by scriptures in temples. ultimate aim is to liberate yourself from all attachments that stop you from evolution. aim is peace and acceptance. now lets come to CURRENT INDIA - Yes, it is dirty now, yes we respect animals and we wont eat them because it is our way of life. lets talk science - there is no immunity if there are no germs.
Very nice footage and film with the right atmosphere, like in Varanasi (I visited it in 2004 and again last January). I have a film-excerpt in my account of Varanasi 2004, but I have not yet processed my footage of 2019. I assume that you did not pay for filming cremations from close by. There is a type of corruption there at the ghats in my opinion: if you pay then suddenly it’s not improper to film cremations. I would avoid posting certain pictures onto the internet.
india is a shithole. Just look at the rivers, black waters, the streets dirty, Indian spitting betel everywhere, noisy, polluted. But...but..we are the most spiritual people on earth. At least inside we are so pure that when even the shadow of an untouchable falls on us it can pollute us. So strong is our spirituality. Hari om.
OMG. the foot was sticking out from the fire. Yet, I guess my visit to Varanasi is the most I am excited about hahahaha. Its just so shockingly different.
superb video har har mahadev proud to be hindu ,hindu never ask luxiriuous life cause we know all will destroyed as our beloved lord shiva had already said being poor or creepy we die only only on lord shiva
Can't help but notice how the temples in these video's are spotless, who's responsible for keeping the streets clean, the people or the governments lack of will to employ street cleaners or the caste system that prevents bettering your life with no hope for the future thus living in poverty till you die as many video's seem to imply.
The word caste or caste system does not exist in Hindu Scriptures. It’s Varna or Jati and it’s not a tool of oppression.The word “caste”itself is derived from Portuguese who practice it in her conquered territories , go and read up before spewing such inane comments .
Please put "dirty varanasi" and see what pops up on youtube and how shameful this is for India, such a beautiful and holy place and people and govt officials have completely ignored the plight of this holy land
agree. But Can you see with in your body. It is full of dirt and garbage. if you realize that, you will not comment about the external dirt. our whole bodies are full of garbage and dirt
The only culture which is still alive, even after rule of 600 years of muslims rule and 200 years of Christian rules still this country has 80% hindus (sanatan) whreas whole persia, iran, iraq, and 45 other countries were converted to islam and christanity within 15 to 25 years, unesco has told there were 45 ancient traditions which were converted to islam and christian but only the sanatan culture world oldest culture whichbis existing from the beggining of universe is still here, india was developed in every field. Every aspect, it was the world richest country until muslim invaded india by deceiving various indian kings, when whole world was living in cave we indians were living in the most devolped cities like mohan jodaro, dwarika which is 6000 years old, those cities were far developed from some of the current cities, cities were having sewage treatment plant, flood controling system, and various stuffs, and just leave this let me tell u about ramsetu a bridge b/w india and srilanka made by lord rama, almost 1million years ago, lord rama used to live in ayodhya one of the ancient city, and everyone knows, arthmetic, algebra, quadratics, trigonometry, number system, decimal system, 0,and 90% of math, 90%science,space, astrology, novels etc everything is all given by us indians more than 2000 years ago when the half of the world was living in cave, i m not just praising myself, this is my answer to thos illiterates like muslims and some foreigners who badmouth abt india, u should know ur place, we r the peace loving people, and beleive that world is a big family this is also written in our scriptures, but if u will act like a dumb then we also know how we can fuck u
@@salihatayaa5561 is what he is saying false? Didn't Muslims do all those things? If Hindus had done half of the things in mecca, u think Muslims would not be angry? Sculptures don't teach, philosophy teaches like Advaita Vedanta, and many other. Please learn about Hinduism before you speak.
I read coran where it mention:you have your religion or believes and we have our religion and believes.and said l will not follow your believes netheir you will follow our believes.so the verse mention a peace in his a great and beautiful away.
My Grandfather, Captain&Civil Engineer D.E.Hodges-1911-2001, travelled the world over his lifetime. Varanasi was one of his most important experiences in life. He only took one photo while visiting because in early days of the 1960’s it was absolutely forbidden. Souls departing life and those in prayer along the Ganges river were thought to be captured within the images of cameras/polaroids, so anyone with a camera was strictly forbidden from taking pictures, hard to enforce this rule yet the point is understood. You’ve beautiful images here. Was there ever issue with this idea while you were there filming?
How can any sane human being be ready for Benares... You probably go.crazy.after being confronted to all this. It looks like coming from.another world..
@@michaelahass2695 , when I first visited so called developed country USA, my first impression was it may be pleasing but not amazing . While India may not be pleasing but it's amazing . I never find anything new to learn from West. It's highly monotonous society and unfit for a seeker to visit.
I ve been twice in India,for months every time.spirituallity is around us,in every country-culture,in nature,in every human who wants to share love,in us.You don't have to be a Hindu or go to India.Enough with that shit.We just need to open our eyes and let our souls to love unconditionally.so forget about namaste,amen...and all that stuf.Just love.
It's an upside-down world indeed when being more concerned for human beings than for animals is considered a small way of thinking. It's even more disturbing to see how often people such as yourself seem to glorify abject poverty - as though going hungry, living with nothing and dying young/watching your children die from preventable illnesses is something anyone would willingly choose. All of that while you yourself would never go there and live that way. It's just good enough for them, eh?
Yesica1993 when i went to india, i stayed in a humble hotel, which ended up being filled with gorgeous marble inside, and there was constantly 5-10 guys scrubbing and polishing everywhere. they even insisted on washing everything we bought in the pahara gange (delhi). they definately know the importance of cleanliness for affluence. the temples Each and All have a place that you are required to wash your hands before entering and you must take off your shoes.
In 2021 it's more developed & cleaned, watch the latest video of PM Modi in Varanasi 🙏 Many foreigners came in Kashi Vishwanath Corridor opening ceremony fee days ago 🔱
I agree humans are first. You told people are starving. It is not true. It is the willing of some people to end their life in Varanasi (some people). So they are brought here. Also wherever there is a Hindu shrine or temple there will be free food service available. It is one of Hindu dharma giving food to others in every good or bad occasion. So no one is starving. You are just seeing a video and guessing yourself. You can ask someone who knows well or come and see directly and comment
Your country is beautyful! I will visit India next time. Do anyone help me discover your country? If you are a good man, I think we have excited things together! ❤❤ 6:35
