TEMPLE City of Tamil Nadu 🇮🇳 Tiruvannamalai Travel Guide 

Just posted a new PODCAST with more personal details and info, if you want to join the fam: patreon.com/benjenks

You must have to visit our Tamil temple thanjai periya kovil( Brihadiswara Temple ) which situated in Thanjavur. There is so many wondering things in that temple..even It should come in list of wonders of world .. but not. I suggest you to visit that place .. and second, visit ooty, kodikanala, and kerala too .. you can enjoy the beauty of nature

There is a old saying in TamilNadu. To attain Mukthi(Greater Bliss or Liberation). If you get birth in Thiruvarur (Thiyagarajar Temple) you get mukthi, If you get darshan in Chidambaram (Natarajar Temple Darshan) you get Mukthi, Just thinking Thiruvannamalai you get Mukthi, and If you die in Kashi you get Mukthi.

Thank you for showing my state's beauty 😊

Yep i agree with what you said, Taj mahal is a lot overrated, there are thousands of temples in the Deccan and south which fails to get recognition and those are truly awesome since they were made thousands of years ago..

Just found out about your vlogs. This one is nice; even tho I lived in Madras, TN, for two years and then other parts of south India, I never got a chance to visit this temple city. I will visit this city. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work, my friend.

Hi Benjamin: Nice video of Tiruvannamalai. Although I was born in Chennai and lived there for 16 years, never got a chance to see this temple. Would love to go back to South India one of these days and do a tour of the wonderful temples there.

One of my most favorite places in the planet!! Awesome!!

அன்புடன் வரவேற்கிறது தமிழ் நாடு 🙏🇮🇳

Guys ,this place is so underrated.Those who wanted to seek some spiritual wisdom,an understanding larger than life just visit this place.Somehow or other lord arunachaleswara(shiva) will enlighten you with wisdom, declutter your mind and make you more peaceful person....Trust me!(Even you are reading or watching this one means his eyes is on you as well...soon things will get more better!)☺

Can't believe your love for the town. Salute & loads of respect for your efforts.

Ben i see your spiritual side too. Good for you. Lord Shiva will bless you!

Ending was amazing!! Bangalore was spoilt because it got too much advertisement in the early 90s :P

One of my favourite places. Next time, I should stay in Ramana ashram and spend quality time.

Visit senji(gingee), the fort and many Jain and Hindu temples and ruins around. The partly green and partly dry Rocky mountains make a very unique geography. It's one of the most underrated places in TN

Tiruvannamalai is gem ❤️🙏 Har Har Mahaadev 💥🔥 I start every new year from here, Supreme Lord Shiva's Bhoomi

Hey ben your recently i came across your chnl and your vlgs r really good without boring stuff 😍 welcome to Tamil Nadu try going to all district every district have some old ancient temple to check out❤️ also stay safe

Benjamino hermanito namaskar dost. Aap kaise hai? Como ESTA? How are you? Gonna watch this in a few minutes. Taking care of some business here in Colombia 🇨🇴.

Benjamin makes travel easy again for tourists

This is phenomenal ❤️

If you like temples .. you must go to srirangam , tiruchirapalli. It's a giant living temple City

Thank you Benjamin Jenks- american in india, you have enlightened some minds of India.

Love from India

I visited that temple for cleaning work at 2017. I am so happy that day

Tamil Nadu... All place super .....🔥❤🔥❤

Hi Benjamin, I really love to watch your videos and have watched almost all ur vlogs on India including the ones showing ur lockdown days. What I like about ur videos the most is that u never sound snobbish and seem very comfortable in the company of natives (Indians). U never ridicule My country and my fellow country Men. Also, last but not the least, I saw your Mango eating video, and lemme tell u, you definitely don't eat mango the way you did. Hahahaha. Thanks for visiting our country. Wish every western travellers imbibe ur attitude and show respect for the people and the country you are visiting. U r a wonderful guest. Best wishes always

Visit ooty & kodikanal it is beautiful place u ever seen

Go to kolli hills it's near you

Great Video. A Small remark, To climb up the hill to the Top, if you are a fast one can take 60-75minutes only...when starting before the sun rises (around 0400-0430)...it is only one way up, no right or left, YET, it is very steep one and requires a Good Stamina. Enjoy the Joy.

Bro.. great post. You know more about places in Tamil Nadu than me and I am native Chennai ite.🙏🙏

Hey Benjamin.. Thank you for your video on Tiruvannamalai. My native and I live here. Hope to meet you soon

Looks like a great place to visit for peace of mind from all the hustle and bustle. Food looks so good. Is your friend back or are the pictures from when she was there.

Har har mahadev 🚩 🔱 ♥ ❤

Love from india

Heyyy... I am also from Tiruvannamalai 😁

Benjamino and all the people in India and beyond who watched this I am laughing my butt off 🤣😂🤣😂. You didn't want anyone to get wind (know) about Tiruvannamalai but too late. We're liking and sharing this cool 😎🙏🕉 vlog as you sip on some Mumbai Magic (Masala Chai is what I like to call it because it's where i had the best chai in India, not that it is the best in India. I have not visited all of India.) while you're reading this second comment of mine. You let the cat out of the bag. I am definitely gonna visit in December or January when I go. By tge way Ben I had already had knowledge of Tiruvannamalai and seen spiritual documentaries back in 20150 or 2016 when I was a Vaishnava (Hare Krishna). 😀

Beautiful video ❤️💜❤️

You should visit Brihadeeswara Temple in Tanjore and then Kodaikanal.

With this video word is out bigtime. You can expect masses of unruly American tourists showing up and driving up the housing prices. I predict tailgate parties in the temple parking lot soon. Perhaps Melania Trump will open up a hat shop in town. But seriously, nice video and I enjoyed learning the history of the town.

top-notch content

Come thanjavur tamil nadu 🥳🤚

Enjoy, can feel the beautiful vibes in this video 👍👍

Amazing edits, I am flying in for sure😅

Super brother

Unless Arunachala desires someone to come and visit him, a person cannot, no matter how near or far. You certainly have his blessings!

Siva Siva 🙏🕉🔱

Nice video👍❤️

You are lucky to be a citizen of this highly spiritual place. 🙏

This one is among your nicer videos. Short and Inviting too, despite that forbidding travel advisory of yours in the end !! Here’s some friendly advice. Ask one of your local friends to give you a crash course on How to pronounce common Tamil names and words as they’re spelled in English. It follows a phonetic logic that’s easy - especially if you’re comfortable with Spanish, Italian or German - and thereafter you’d be surprised your pronunciation of these words may turn out better than that of the average non Tamil Indian.

Try Ooty the hill station

You have become an ambassador for our country. You must ask some money from the tourism ministry !!

From Tiruvannamalai

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ben i need to say one thing about the older one video of urs about 10 different things about India Tamilnadu has the world oldest language it has more than 2000yrs history and the one of the best architecture ever like brihadesswarar temple or big temple at Thanjavur,gangai konda cholaphram,Trichy malakotai etc..,, And much more .and tamilnadu ranked as number 1 state in India under improvement ....! I actually surprised to see ur video in tamilnadu so I wrote this reply ... I ENJOYING ALL UR VIDEO ,BEAUTIFULL ✨❤️ LUV FROM THANJAVUR!
