I was lucky! I got to go to the Batu Caves at the SAME TIME as THAIPUSOM!
Thaipusam is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated in various parts of the world, including Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves in Malaysia. Devotees gather to express their deep devotion to the Hindu god Murugan through colorful processions and by carrying kavadis. The celebration is particularly prominent in Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves, attracting attention not only for its religious significance but also for the visually stunning displays and cultural richness.
As you explore the sacred steps leading to the Batu Caves, be sure to stay cautious of the resident monkeys. These cheeky creatures, while fascinating, can be quite assertive. Exercise care while walking up the steps to avoid any unexpected encounters with them. Despite their mischievous behavior, the Thaipusam celebrations in Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves offer a unique and enchanting experience, blending religious devotion, cultural heritage, and a touch of wildlife in this remarkable setting. Join us as we navigate through the steps of Thaipusam, celebrating the spirit of devotion while keeping an eye out for the lively inhabitants of Batu Caves.

Thaipusam is a "Hindu celebration among the Tamils across the globe to commemorate the victory of Lord Muruga over a demon using a divine spear." It's not the name of the place. She meant well but couldn't explain better possibly due to language barrier. Singapore, Sri Lanka, India are among some of the other countries which celebrate Thaipusam.

I think I kind of figured that out later, but I’m glad you clarified for me! Thanks a bunch! I wish I could communicate with everyone 😢. Either way, that was an amazing experience!

@@thilaari5348That's Sungai Petani. I think your auto correct messed it up.

@chakravarthy68 4 месяца назад

Thaipusam actually refers to the month and star that occurs on the day of the celebration. Tamil calendar uses sun, solar planets and 27 stars movements as reference. Thai is the name of the month. Pusam is the name of the star that coincide on this day. It's the day when Parvati, lord Murugan's mother bestowed him with a spear that can kill Surapadman, a demon.

And people across religions and races visit and partake. Big up to Malaysia on how they respect and welcome all. In my mind I rate it as the best place in the world and a large part of that is becos of its people. Il be back every year hopefully.

Thaipoosam - You can see a weapon on Lord Murugan hand in statue. It"s called VEL. the day Murugar got VEL was celebrated as Thaipoosam. He got that VEL from his mother(Parvathi) to win war against Asuras(Demon). In INDIA / TAMIL NADU we celebrate this festival every year because Murugar is god of Tamil. ( Tamil is one of the oldest living language in the world )

I am a malay. We dont celebrate it but as Malaysian we will still respect and find our way to understand other religion from our friend with different ethnicity. But surely Thaipusam always bring back memories when my children still little. That time me and my 2 little boys driving together around the city at night trying to find a pop-up stall on the street that selling durian fruit. Then my youngest son see a crowd of people is selling durian but he also said they smashing the durian.. Then i drove by them.. Only to find they just a group of people throwing coconut and smashed it on the street.. It for Thaipusan ritual. The funny thing is my youngest son still asked them.. Do they sell durian while sticking his body out from the window. 😅 And they all just smile and said we only have coconut. And after that we all just laughing together. Meanwhile my youngest son still look confused. 😅

Brother first of all thank you visiting Malaysia and promoting our nation. Secondly thank you for visiting Batu Caves during Thaipusam and my sincere appreciation for you for showing respect to our tradition by removing your shoes when entering into all the temple. I would say that you were so lucky to witness the deity Lord Murugan so near at the main temple in the cave. You were so blessed too to witness the arrival of the Silver Chariot that travelled more than 19 hours into Batu Caves. Upon the arrival of the chariot, a huge flag with a rooster symbol on it will be raised at the tall flag pole near to the entrance marking the official beginning of the religious festival. I remember you were asking about the number of steps and the height of the Lord Murugan statue right? Here's the answer. The staircase has 272 steps and the statue is 42.7 meters tall. Hope you had a great time here in our nation and at our temple.

Congrats Brad, you managed the monkeys brilliantly on your first attempt😂. They are naughty guys indeed. Anyway, Thaipusam festival is dedicated to Lord Muruga(also known as Lord Karthikeyan), son of Lord Shiva and Parvathi(Goddess Shakthi) where Lord Muruga received the Weapon of all weapon called 'Vel' from his Mother Parvathi/Shakthi. Hence the chants " Vetrivel Vel,Veera Vel, Shakthi Vel,Nyana Vel" which hails Lord Muruga being the mighty weapon "Vel"himself in defeating Asuras or Demons called Tarakasuran and Surapadman. The weapon "Vel" is called "Nyana Vel" which means Weapon of knowledge and wisdom. The concept here is that there is no bigger power or understanding of this Universe other than knowledge and wisdom. Thus, our celebration on Thaipusam, offerings and prayers to "Vel Muruga" the absolute embodiment of universal power consisting purely of knowledge and wisdom.

@WhereisBrad 5 месяцев назад

Wow this is the best explanation I’ve heard. Thank you so much! Lord Muruga is out slaying demons while I’m here conquering mischievous little monkeys. Haha they’re no joke though. Thanks again for the support and information!! 🙏🥰🙏

There are lot of Tamil speaking people in Malaysia and it is one of the official languages in Malasia.👌👍

You are just cool.Thanks

Hi, Brad. I think the vendor at the jewellery shop is from India, not Malaysian Indian. Because Batu Caves is a touristic place & for the vendor to not understand basic English is IMPOSSIBLE. Malaysians basically can speak 3 languages; own language + English + Malay.

@WhereisBrad 5 месяцев назад

Ya I figured but I never want to assume. I think the “where are you from” was the wrong question to ask. But how can I ask without being too intrusive? “What are you?” Haha jk that’s not cool. I’m impressed that everyone knows so many languages.

Hey Brad glad to see you have a lot respect to differect cultures and religion. I am actually Malaysian but I live in LA since the ageof 3 I usually visit back to Malaysia with my Fam, but its been a while since I have been back. I intend to visit Malaysia in June for our Summer break. Thank you for sharing this amazing video makes me feel happy to hear my Lanuguage and your communications with them is great. I hope you enjoyed the food there.Take care safe travels!!!!

@WhereisBrad 4 месяца назад

Amazing! So happy to share my experience! Interacting with Malaysian people has been such a positive thing for me and I’m loving your country! I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip in June! Who knows, maybe I’ll be back there during that time !

@ranisidhu8007 4 месяца назад

OMG!!! Brad I am so happy when I saw your reply..I have to give you props for being able to undertsnad the accent...its takes a bitc but I think overall Malaysian Indian(Tamil) usually do speak English and not shy even if niot that fluent, as long as they cn help one find their way around. Thats going to be awesome!!! if you would be there as I have so much Family still there and I will be traveling with my Son for the first time to Malaysia that would be a great experience.My Family and I would love to show you and your Family around. Take Care shoot me a msg when you will be in Malaysia next.

@WhereisBrad 4 месяца назад

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@@ranisidhu8007thank you ! It takes a bit for sure, but I think since I go from country to country often, I’m getting better at interpreting different accents faster! (I think) Wow that’s super exciting!thank you so much for the offer! I have a wife (of 6 months) but when I do RU-vid travel, she prefers to stay home. We do our own vacations in a more relaxing way. When I travel solo I actually move around quickly, record all day, and it’s a lot of work. She doesn’t like that. So next time I’m in Malaysia I’ll likely be alone, especially because I plan to come back and jump all over the country!

The devotees walk along the chariot with bare foot. They started 9pm on the day before and reached Batu Cave near 6pm. Almost a 19 hours journey.👍 Happy Thaipusam to everyone. 🎉🎉

@@WhereisBrad what you saw is a glimpse of kavadi, which is an offering to lord murugan - it could be a form of being thankful or it can be also a form of carrying kavadi(burden) and laying it upon lord murugan to take care of the rest.
