My First Durga Puja In Kolkata, India 🇮🇳 ( Didn’t Expect This! ) 

those people are just stupid ignore them lol she is so sweet trying to explain stuff to you , she might be wrong many times but she is natural and not faking atlest

Agree with you. Being a hindu who is Bengali of Bharat, I assure you, she have been correct to tell you the most of the things about this event. There will always be elements who spits hatred coming from their superiority complex and jealousy. Best of luck. Happy Puja.

Hi

❤

You saw only hate comment but not saw her comment to those people who are asked you to seat with them, how should she said all people are bad.mentality of your is just like that girl that's why you support her.

@@drp1088 Because Garba is an auspicious ceremony for the strength of Durga ma. Similarly, Dhaakis and dunuchi nach is done barefooted.

@@drp1088 As a hindu, u shld respect the traditions of Bengal. No one is wearing shoes in the sanctum sanctorum of the stage. The pandal/mandap is open to all.

​​@@drp1088 Lol. You aren't a Bengali. Don't lecture the Bengalis here. Tum apna garba dekho. Koi Bengali tumhe garbe ka lecture Dene nai aayega. Tu bhi nikal yaha se.

​@@drp1088mind ur own business...we r not bothered with ur gabra customs.stop comparing Durga puja with gabra and stop viewing our puja through ur north indian prism

@@drp1088 I think u dont know what "pandal" means

Hinduism also has one law... "Change is only constant"

​@@skull9469changes done by modernization ..... Despite hinduism has same rule ......

But we should know one thing that our customs and culture are people and community oriented. Changes take place with the will of the people, not against them. Shastrarth - debates took place to convince ones point and if the society finds it reasonable they will accept it. But this had some cons to it too, like the time when everyone went into slumber mode with the advent of Mahatma buddh/Sidharth's Preaching. We were attacked constantly from our western borders, we were plundered again and again. All this when everyone Inland was talking about futility of wars. They forgot to defend themselves and their own people. The Southern and Eastern kingdoms had it easy, since the western ones acted like a shield, their naivety to western euroasian cultures led them to accept and receive their naval missions with open arms and friendliness. Wish they knew that the concept of "Guest as a God" had some limitations when it comes to other cultures.

Wrong! Phil there are many laws

@@JaiSyndrome Can you tell one law please, that every hindu should follow??

Exactly so 🙏

Well explained🕉️

2.nehi Deepawali & Dewali same day per nehi hota hai...jaise Holi &Dol alag alag din per hota hai

Durgapura story is mainly from devipurana, some take it from vishnupurana, not too many scriptures(if you take purana as scriptures) has variations

@@another-ot8jr thats a lot of word for saying "people r prejudiced"

@@another-ot8jr There isn't anything much to comprehend in your comments anyways. Just big words narrating the abridged version of how a Desi mind looks at life and any critical narrative of their culture. They reek of a simple minded Indian attitude towards anything that they don't personally like or endorse. The only difference is, you seem like you enjoy reading the dictionary in your free time and then flaunting it all in the RU-vid comments.

@@another-ot8jr I'd be surprised at myself if I spend more than 10 seconds reading a random rant about nothing on RU-vid. But I understand why you felt the need to make so much noise, empty vessels tend to that. Btw, are you sure you didn't miss a few lines there ?! Seems like the comments section here fell way short of accomodating all the hours you spent honing your comprehensive skills. But then again, maybe you're at the wrong place anyways, and going by your other comments here earlier, I don't think it's the first time you've been out of place in life either. Have a nice day !

@@Rudi_Mentary723 🤣🤣👍 I second that

@@another-ot8jr English aise boli ki aapki dost ko samj aaye that's what even my professional career teaches me. Your language must be simple. What's the point of spending 8-10 min writing with all those fancy words which even a layman won't understand then it's useless spending your precious time. Next time keep your Lang short and simple definitely I'll make an attempt to read it.

You haven't seen anything in this video, these pandals in the video are very small budget pujas.

Durgapuja is 500 years old tradition in Bengal. Since nineteent century common public took over the celebration from the elites. Nothing to do with Mamata

Mumbai like to copy bengal why why mumbai so much interested in bengal

Watch the Durga Puja videos by Ethereal. One of the best Durga Puja videos I've ever seen. There's two, one before COVID and one during COVID.

First learn the difference between blog and vlog kid

@@jateenpandey4297A vlog is actually "video blog"...it comes under blog only you kid

Why north India is so dirty man.... mostly malnourished people

Jai Ma Lakshmi

ami to setai vabchilam wara video dekhle ja bawal ta hobe mairi

Naa Kali Puja is ok but diwali is the most prominent Hindu fest and not let him miss the ayodya fun

@@talkingdrops Diwali is definitely not the most prominent Hindu festival for bengali hindus. Why do you guys always push on defining everything under the same umbrella. There's so much diversity, have the stomach to accept it.

​​@@soumyabratachakraborty7545what can you even expect from such people

She knows better than you.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll probably do a mixture of videos both on my own and also with local friends who know the best places to go 👍🏻

​@@philblandYes you are right, u should know everything hence locals are important

@@philbland Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma permits atheism to multiple Gods or Goddesses. The base is "Vedas " and "Upanishads or Vedanta". They are philosophies. All these Celebrations are associated with stories in "Puranas" which were built upon vedas" and "Upanishads or Vedantas ". These celebrations are only for the well being of the society. In different ways money is circulated through the hands of all the sections of the society as clothes, sweets, flowers, decorating materials, artists, pot makers etc etc. Then get together enjoyment etc etc. According to Upanishads or "Adwaitham" only one God, that is "Brahman" which is our own conscious. Since the conscious is same in all and everywhere , God is all pervaiding.

@@philbland Mahabharatha and Ramayana are the two "Ethihassas "or historical events. In Mahabharatha "Lord Krishna " comes and in "Ramayana" Lord Rama comes. Ramayana is the first Poetry in the world written in Sanskrit with 24000 verses. These two were considered as incarnations of Lord Mahavishnu. The meaning of the word, "Mahavishnu" is all pervaiding. A name is given to the conscious of the universe, that is Mahavishnu.

@@philbland A human body is made of crores of atoms and within the body we have mind, ego, intelligent and conscious. The structure of Solar system is exactly same as that of an atom. The central Sun is self illuminating. In a similar way the central nucleus of the atom also has self illuminating power since it has mass. (E=mc2). That self illuminating light is same in all and everywhere. Since it is not an entity we cannot see it. We have to "experience" that light. Once that is realized, we can understand that , that light is same in all living and non living things.So that light or Brahman is all pervading and is called as Mahavishnu. That light cannot be seen through our external eyes. We have to experience that with our inward eyes. "Lord Siva " he is "Adi Yogi" or first Yogi who taught this to the world through Yoga. Since Brahman is energy, after our death, that energy should reappear in some other way because energy can neither be created nor he destroyed. So all the Indic philosophies like, Hinduism, Budhism and Jainism belive in rebirth. No heaven or hell concept. It is written in vedas that there are 12 Adithyas ( Suns) and a number of planets and satellites associated with all these and it is imagined that a "Virad Purusha" or Mahavishnu is sleeping in that infinite cosmic ocean and his mind and intelligent "Lord Brahma " created this Universe. The meaning of the word "Brahma" is ever expanding. This earth is just a dust particle in that cosmic ocean. In Kerala, Thiru-anantha - puram, you can visit "Sree Anantha Padmanahha swamy temple " . The idol is Lord Mahavishnu who is lying in the infinite cosmic ocean with lord Brahma associated with him.

Radha was Krishna's patrani?!? Ab ye kab hua ? Kaise?

I know I feel like she is either ignorant or just a child who never bothered to educate herself on what Durga puja is all her life . Such wasted opportunity. I really liked Phil and was hoping he would see the Durga puja and the diversity and fervor with which it’s celebrated in Calcutta surpassing religion but ended up with a girl explaining puppy love 😢 . Sadly the purpose of this channel as he had explained was to unite people which is so well represented in Durga puja was lost due to inadequate knowledge of a fellow Calcuttan

and please mention those were all forms of ma lakshmi the real wife of lord vishnu

Chill bro I went to them all they are coming up

Bagwat Gita by lord Krishna is only book which all scientist around world appreciated . It has all your answers not relegious but only about self . Please do learn about Krishna Phil. Krishna and Ram are avatar of lord Vishnu which showed way to humanity. Righteousness,food to eat , importance of exercise, y to respect all . Above all meaning of life . Here are just few teaching from starting chapter. There is lot more Phil u will be really shocked There are three gates to this self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three..!! Calmness, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and purity: these are the disciplines of the mind..!! The truly wise mourn neither for those who are living, nor for those who have passed away. One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men..!! When a man dwells on the pleasure of sense, attraction for them arises in him. From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger. From passion comes confusion of mind, then loss of remembrance, the forgetting of duty. From this loss comes the ruin of reason, and the ruin of reason leads man to destruction..!! You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions..!! Through selfless service, you will always be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your desires. Phil I hope u will read this comment 🙏

​@@Articlenews493stop this cringe

@@sahilsingh6048 whats cringe about it ?

I like to mix it up so people understand later it all starts to come together …

@@philbland ya but quite confusing in compare to the dates 😅😅hope u are enjoying next festival is 🎇🎆🎇 Diwali

Bangalore ? Lol. They don't celebrate one Hindu festival properly.

Durga Puja is most superior festival

Mumbai

Bengalis celebrate Kali puja during Diwali.

Also tell how british looted 45 trillion and do bengal man made famine during World War II. All these things can even happen if indians are allowed to flourish on their own. It is like saying all those countries not colonised by british doesn't have railways. Or big festivals.

@@radhika3975 exactly radhika, there is blood stained history of british india, but there is many things which brought to india which provide impetus for the development of Hindoostan for example railway tracks or railways , administration services which is commenly known as IAS, indian administration services, development of hill stations like Shimla, mysoorie, English schools or boarding, allopathy medicine or hospitals, dentestary, inorganic substances for daily uses in the form of soap, and toothpastes, and parliamentary functions which should not be neglected.

​​@@Kamalsunilkumar421soap toothpaste are old things of India.administration also

Yes Diwali in ayodhya is another level and there much more to learn

kali puja is small in your region maybe .

In bengal they consider such way, and represent as a whole family

@@drp1088 bro its a diffent culture man, you have to understand hindusm is flexible and we have different aspects and forms of it

i think you should visit northeast one day and see fish and meat as offerings to vishnu and mahesh bagwan@@drp1088even brahmin eat and cook food for them

​​@@talkingdropsthis idiot is obsessed bro 😂

​@@drp1088it seems you want some tests of those shoes.

And also hindu Swastika is not hooked

Phil people are giving u funny suggestion.This female has half knowledge and is an attention seeker.You to her about Swastika ..i can bet she has no info about Nazis and no idea about world including Jews.All she wants is attention from a Gora guy.

Its brahman not brahmin Also in Shaktism, its Adi Shakti or devi who is the soul of the universe

​@@spilltea4241 ok correcting the small mistake

I wonder why most of the north indian folks in comments can't understand this simple thing and abusing that lady unnecessarily.

@@Tableno91 exactly what's your problem she asked for right think and I told her that devi maa was daughter of himachal so what's here to disturb you can you explain?
