  • This is a horrible excuse of a documentary. The bias commentator's western impatience and smug arrogance is more than obvious. A false perspective of the Shaivate sadhus is presented in this film.

  • gettin stonnnned

  • now that's true nobody will get nirvana without guru as no god in this era ...

  • the same could be said for sufi ascetics kzroid: dirty filthy men beggin alms theres a version of this in every religion, even the christians had benedictine monks,If you bother to understand it you might get the bigger picture, they preach no attachement no pride, no sense of vanity hence they dont cut hair, or wash with fragrances etc.And how are they fraudsters? because they take money? duh they live out in the open and giving donations is the same as giving it in a church or a mosque?

  • its hard to believe people consider these dirty filthy men to be holy, just look at there personality, these lazy animals just sit around all day cashing in money from uneducated people. anybody watching this video please ask yourself one question....are these the holy men god has chosen to represent the true religion...any educated person with common sense and logic will tell you that these men are nothing but fraudster's making money and smoking weed all day!!!!

  • @kzroid if u do not have knowledge about any ritual donot say anything bad about it.let me tell u my friend they are not representing any thing to any one else they are doing there duty of preaching GODS with out any MOH AND MAYA which means they donot need any thing to look good because they donot need it they donot need lot of money because they donot have to buy anything and as per weed is considered it is everywhere in INDIA and if you know how to extract then u can to smoke for free

  • hes really STOOOONED

  • its not a religion.

  • This was beautiful. If you guys don't understand the concepts of Hinduism, take acid and you would. (:

  • one would think that India was a Guru Factory, a spiritual petri dish churning out saviors and what-not.

  • It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain!

  • Hashish is wrapped in a rainbow!!! Wow I dont know if I could imagine being super high there, too paranoid!!

  • Well...that guy at least tried......didn´t look like his cup of tea

  • LOL damn sadu get to smoke weed so much, california should do a study on them so weed can get legalized already lol, i say california because i think cali will be the first state to legalize it

  • @TheAUDIOARCADE yes i kno

  • Comment removed

  • @TheAUDIOARCADE dude your so stupid and wrong you probably looked that up on wikipedia if you werent so fucking retarded you would know that what you just wrote is an asumption by most people who dont understand what rasta is. Rastafari is in even in the bible its just that you have to read it. i bet im younger than you and i still know this.

  • These guys are awesome. This is devotion to god like I've never seen else were. The God Shiva is meant to have brought cannabis from the Himalayas for humanity to consume.

  • sadhus said put 100 rs down dere ..n translator said sumthg else lolll so hell yea these are fakes

  • Most of these "sadhus" are fake. 

  • Very interesting video. I spent 6 months in Goa and saw a few Sadhu's wandering around, though nothing quite on the scale in your video!

  • india is a victim of its religious concepts and cast -system,sorry..........read : --- the white tiger-----a revealing book, written by a young indian author......

    we westeners find it exiting and exotic, but there s a lot of dispair.......

  • "Vashisht is wrapped in a rainbow... and his guru wears a lot of orange." Words to live by.

  • the planet heart is nice ....

  • sadhu Vashisht Giri also appeared on Michael Yorke's Journey of a Saint - Himalayas video series (that aren' t anymore awailable,shame)

  • then why did the sadhu tell him to put 100 rupees for.no reward ya right fake azz sadhus

  • in addition to their hasheeeeesh

  • lol they all smoke dope

  • it is the tobacco that people mix with cannabis that is addictive not the cannabis itself

    coming from a daily smoker i have friends who spin and who dont the ones who spin with tobacco are addicted the ones who smoke straight weed are able to quit whenever

  • Enjoyed your video immensely, please do more videos. Thank you

  • can anybody tell me the name of the song at 6:23 plzzz!!!!

  • Do not let negative comments effect you. Spiritual pursuits ALWAYS, have people attacks them.

  • the presenter clearly not getting it.

  • just type ( holy man ) by hapogm this man vashisht giri spent his 8 years sentence in tihar jail for rape got full proof of his details

  • i have found many criminals turned into naga sadhus like 200 people in last 16 years by the help of my friends these r ips officers , jailers in up , mp bihar , so the crux is they possesed nothing except smoking marijuna and second they certainly do some public stunt like what they show the have won over erection or so , basically when normal person smoke marijunaa , he will certainly get prob of erection and they being smoking for years, by the way im indian and proud to be indian

  • i m journalist and been searching hidden truth about these naga sadhu for 16 years what i found is this ...... 90 percent sadhu are criminals who have spent life sentences in indian prison , after that no body look after them when they come out of prisons and second many uttar pradesh , bihar , madhya pradesh people who have committed cimes and escaped from trails and payrolls

  • @bensonrizla You're a journalist? Be honest, why are you making such statements? People are way too smart these days to believe everything they hear on the internet. You are probably a muslim. Work on being honest then the world will become clearer for you. You are a poor writer for a journalist.

  • no disrespect intended but compared to the Aghori these guys are a theatre performance.....SORKA

  • no disrespect intended but compared to the Aghori these guys are a theatre performance.....SORKA

  • i am proud to be an hindu and an indian this is our traditional superior indian culture our saints sit nude in public and give them the true blesings with divine powers.jai hindus jai hinduism jai hindustan.muslims are just nothing more then shit compare to us hindus and compare to our traditional hindu culture.muslims only know how to spread terrorism in world with the help of their evil book name fucken quran.and we hindus saints spread the mesage of love and humanity by worshiping naked.

  • LOL @ the druggies..what a weird rationalization to be a freakin dope addict

  • any body noticed that person who speaked english is vashist giri a guy who made 6 series of journey of saint . he have cut down his jata and shaved shame on him , what a rape of indian culture with drug hashish and person from abroad who wants to smoke cannabis free of cost and legally in india

  • @bensonrizla yes i notced that. im wondering if he is a real sadhu or an actor.

  • at 4 27 he gave extazy to shadu, they are real shuda and they are fake too, if u go there they will try to get your money because they are soo poor.

  • provide services without expecting reward...... do things for humanity... for a peaceful world.... hindu, buddhist, christian, muslim, jews all have a common responsibilty to protect humanity....

  • shit happens

  • fucking drugs !!!

  • smoking destroy the heart. and its only way to ascend. they only will stay in very low level of conscience. you cannot do yoga and smoking its impossible.

  • @Prexier64 Sure you can.

  • @Prexier64 smoking cigs yes causes hypertension, atherosclerosis and cancer. marijuana does NOT induce atherosclerosis..... it can cause bronchitis, laryngitis,maybe depression and psychosis. spent 6 years studying medicine im a doctor now....hahah "destroys the heart."...what are you talking about???.. cardiomyopathy, coronary vascular, disease, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease. you dont know what your talking about...

  • Why does that guru put ash on his forehead when he bows?

  • @Soundfrequency its a means of blessing

  • 1:52

    "Fucking beads..."

  • The one handed Nagababa was really incredible! All those Rudrakshas! I don't care how many ignorant and insulting comments there are. These Nagababas are wonderful!

  • I must say that this video is really amazing....

  • Dope eh? me want some~ hahaha

  • love to all

  • The flesh is separate from the spirit. Nothing you can do in the flesh (fasting, service, abstaining, standing for hours on end) will be of any benefit for the spirit and thus salvation can never come from the works of the flesh. The spirit must be reborn then and only then will works of the flesh matter.

  • I want a clear answer on the following question: Does pot destroy your sexual life ? Cause many doctors said so, so as in Wiki it is said that the Sadhus are using pot to destroy their sexual life. Is it true ?

  • two questions in your comment, Two ansewrs, No, No.

    Ordinary ppl who smoke weed will tell you its awesome to have sex while stoned.

    Sadhus wish not to destroy, but to denounce. The sexual Drive we Human's have is hardest to conquer according to them and they (being the Warriors on the spiritual path that they are) will do their very best to control all physical functions and drives. weed Helps them to Focus and Meditate.

  • @lucius215 I hope that you are right! Otherwise we are all doomed!

  • 1:40 Waow

  • lucky lucky you to find vashist Ji in your time at the kumbh

  • bigblackbasterd...............­.... a fitting naming for the ignorance you spout and the intolerance you radiate. your amazingly stupid

  • i hear that mate, he should find himself a quiet spot where he wont be bothered by his fellow men, like the moon.

  • no no inside of it, it already has enough blemishes ;-p

  • Indeed Inside, Its so simple now! :P, offc we dont want to seem him either :)

  • I would bring an Xbox360 to that camp. I would be the SFIV Guru. I would, of course, main Dhalsim.

  • wtf

  • India is the second fastest growing economy in the world after China. First of all Israel will not fight with India. They are friendly countries. Secondly, India is a Nuclear Power with Missiles that can easily reach the middle east (including Israel).

  • @hoshiyarladka = India a world super power.

    Now thats funny.

    Idiotic

  • @bigblackbasterd: believe it! 50 years and the world will be china and india

  • before you british fucks came and destroyed india, we were the richest land in the world alongside china. but you filthy snakes stole everything just like with every other race and nation. this is why white people are the most hated people..

  • "Hashish is a rainbow... and the guru wears a lot of orange." Thinking about this, orange is the outer edge of the rainbow, along with yellow - he is saying the guru is on the outside, the highest, most exalted, and... well, the rest is for you to think about :)

  • this is sooooooooooo scary

  • "the one who dont have discipline it effects" i reckon right at the moment he started to have a bad trip. i know i would at least. just out of being self conscious about how stoned i appeared.

  • Very True

  • they like hell ganja

  • I was there in 1998

    I'll come back next year!

  • Comment removed

  • It is you who does not understand. They don't believe in being self indulgent as you probably are. They are many time more spiritually connected as you will ever be. Being a believer in Christianity, we should be doing almost the same thing. The bible tells a lot about self-denial and following God. So it is not your fault you don't understand, you just were not educated properly.

  • They do not believe in having sex so your statement is false, including your false representation of statistics. You are just an unintelligent character with no understanding of the world and everything you believe in is materialistic.

    Plus, you hyphen is not suppose to be there so you grammar needs improvement. Also, all the foul language is for people who are simple minded and cannot search for other words as in they do not have an extensive vocabulary.

    Rats are holy in their religion. :)

  • @estreet311 " Plus, you hyphen is not suppose to be there" + "so you grammar needs improvement." = Perhaps some thinking is in order?

  • @Seamusism It sound like you're not that great at grammar. I mean look at yourself. All the symbols that don't belong there and much more that needs improvement. Come back and talk to me when you grow a pair of ball that don't rattle around in your puny little pathetic excuse of a brain.

  • @estreet311 Oh, "It sound like you're not that great at grammar". True mate true

  • Better than a paedophile follower and murderer religion. Why don't you look into the antics of your Moslems, kill people, rape women and above all support pedophilia. And if somebody says anything against your paedophile founder, murder them. Everything is related to having a gift of sex in heaven. How can you materialistic scum bags understand spirituality ?

  • You ignorant piece of shit pranabnaik < Did you watch the movie "Message", available on youtube?

  • YOU are the only demon here you peice of shit. "smoking drugs" im gussing you mean cannabis? you wouldnt say "smoking drugs" if it was tobbaco even tho tobbaco kills 100,000s pet year and cannabis kills 0!

    your living in a land of lies and illusions.

    fool.

  • cannabis DOSNT kill people FACT. show me the person who has died .....

    and cannabis dosnt lead to mental problems the things its linked with do.

    like constantly checking for police dealers etc.

    your pathetic and brainwashed.

  • @topbluffa1 Cannabis can lead to death. It effects people differently. The view point that everyone will have the same experience is not scientifically proven. We need to be HONEST. I am not against it but caution people, it can raise your blood pressure. Paranoia is very common. Those who spend all their time laughing, are the first to call people weak pathetic etc.

  • cannabis can NOT lead to death 1000s of years prove this.

  • 2:04 = sadhus smoking so dont question them if your trying to come at it from a Hindus perspective

  • @tribalfriend1 Well, dhur. Of course it causes paranoia - you try to live in a ignorant system where cannabis smokers are chased as witches ;) Hehe. I´m pretty sure it´s all about who uses it - the same as not everyone can handle liqour.

  • Comment removed

  • Ye, Im 14 years old and smoke hash like 2 times a week. im too young to smoke it, but thats just me. ADULTS shouldnt get arrested for smoking pot!, anyways i cant blame other kids who smoke pot... when the police say they are trying to help you they mean the opposite. they make it a problem and ruin your family, friends can beat you up if the cop forced you to snitch. I dont have any problems with cannabis. i buy pot in a very legal way from a very friendly dealer. rspct nature

  • Sadhu smoke dope! lol

  • @topbluffa1 Cannabis enslaves your consciousness like many other drugs do. Like tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, heroine e.t.c. Freedom a strong word to say! Just like the Matrix one has to choose the red pill or the blue pill. Drugs are one's choice. The hardest is to face the truth as it is...

  • show me the Hindu scripture that says this.

    cannabis buds are a flower a fruit and consuming those are recommended.

    also it increases your Sattva Guna which is recommended.

    and your making a offering to Agni which is recommended.

    the sadhus themselves smoke and copying ones elders is recommended.

    Soma one of the most mentioned gods of the vedas was a Plant that was consumed to change your consciousness and many of the vedas was written whilst on them

    so tell me why i should listen to you?

  • @topbluffa1 The anti-drug thing is my opinion, it is not written in the Vedas. Soma for me would be a hallucinogenic mushroom because of its strong effect. The Greek mythology says that the Gods were eating ambrosia and drinking nectar. In some scripts Soma is compared to Ambrosia. What is Sattva Guna ? I told you so because of my bad personal experiences. Cannabis led my consciousness asleep.

  • @Jimlead You are full of it. So many "spiritual" people spew their opinions around as if they were absolute statements of the universe. Enjoy the bubble, bubble boy.

    By the way, your experiences are a reflection of YOURSELF. The divine is everywhere and you will reflect whatever you are in the divine. So your consciousness affected your "bad" experience, whether you were meditating or being blessed by the herb. Like the rastas say, the herb blesses and punishes in relation to the smoker.

  • @KageShadows Soma was a deity (essence) of the moon also. I think you are wright but I can't control my conscience whenever I had weed experience. I am better without it.

  • @Jimlead Understandable, that is your thing and yours alone.

  • @Jimlead Also, consciousness is beyond the control of the mortal/egoic mind. You can only control yourself within consciousness. The consciousness is of God.

  • @KageShadows That was a wise word of yours! Consciousness is indeedbeyind the control of the mortal bodies. I follow the brahmanic rules and the buddhist ones which states that no alcohol, no stimulants or depressants, caffeine and other "drugs" are permited if one wants to gain full control of himself.

  • @Jimlead You speak of freedom while imprisoned to the generalization of "drugs". Cannabis is inherently different from cocaine; and in fact, unlike its legal counterparts, as you put it, alcohol and tobacco, safe in the most varying of ways: it is a medicinal quality-filled plant. They're a choice, hence how come enslaving? As a psychedelic, cannabis is sure to mildly dissolve inner boundaries, predjudices. And it begins by taking a hit.

  • @Comcouveflor It's your choice if you want to stay stoned instead of sober. The only way to manage your soul and body is by taking control of both of them.

  • @Jimlead Who am I?

    There's no "staying stoned", nor is it "instead of sober", as if they wouldn't work together. I think it's better put as: understanding what cannabis CAN do, it's a matter of intelligence to know the right time for its use to be appropriate. Take too account of the tolerance build-up.

  • @Comcouveflor I can hardly believe that cannabis can be used appropriately without loosing control...

  • @Jimlead

    all the drug you can taki is possible to do a responsable consumition, but we need legal status and info.

    No war-drug corruption/politicians...

  • @mawsterin One can master himself like the Buddha tought us. No need for drugs or any substance.

  • @Jimlead Speak for yourself!

  • Some preliminary research suggests that cannabis, when smoked in excessive amounts (and I mean extremely excessive, like an ounce daily over a period of many years) MIGHT have the small potential of causing paranoid schizophrenia. However, this research is much contested. Also, when smoked in reasonable quantities, marijuana has been shown to have many good qualities. People who are adversely affected by it usually are already mentally ill - as with all else, consuming with moderation is key.

  • @estreet311 You have to empty the bottle before filling it.

  • I can see why your comments have a negative number. Why do you have to resort to insulting Hinduism? And use the f word so much?

  • Comment removed

  • he's scared, he should smoke some

  • the sadhu explaining thing was a serious dread locked aesthetic at one time, hes cut his dreads

  • wow the dude washis is in the doc journey of a saint

  • the person that appears in 2:19... is that Vasist Ghiri????? what happened to his dreadlocks???

  • At 2:48 the sadhu is smoking ganja :)

  • Yea and he looks so good too

  • Sacred ganges? They use the river to take dump and stuff! They should really keep this river clean if it is to be respected. Don't get me wrong, I am indian too.

  • That white guy is annoying!

  • hes excellent

  • nah now the thing i don't understand is why compare a religion that has emerged long after Hinduism with Hinduism itself??the clear fact is that Hinduism has been existing BC and later emerged other religions which are already modified, so the thing is the civilization matter,most of what this people in this video are the believes that was even b4 civilization existed so why debate on Satan and christ??

  • "They are sadhus, they smoke dope"

    Rofl, best in the video.

  • it is dope for their smoking lol i used this video for the final video of my 'exposing yoga' playlist.

  • I'm sorry to hear that you feal you have to "expose" Yoga.

  • The guru at the beginning covered in white where htey all sat was cool looking esp when he started smoking u wudnt wanna mess with him

  • I have alot of time and respect for the religious coverage work and documentation done by Peter Owen Jones. This programme screened last year really got me interested, around the world in 80 faiths is a great series worthy of awards.

    A shame there are not more people with such an open mind when it comes to the cultures and religions of the world.

    Well done Peter.

  • That guy calls himself a Christian, and he is bowing to a man. Ew...

  • Maybe god is one and that it is human perception of him that differs due to cultural background...

  • God is one - Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" But the strange false gods are not the One Lord. The host of heaven should not be worshipped - Deuteronomy 17:3

    And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

  • Quoting the bible is no use unless I think it is 100 % true

    Every faith in the world has the same kind of lines.

    Trying to monopolize god while worshipping their books and raging holy wars and hostility

    it's mans interest to divide

    People constructed the so called holy books to claim and control.. The church threw most of the original gospels out because it didn't serve their purposes whether you / I am christian or hindu

    God remains the same... unchanged

    He can't be confined. by human ideas

  • I used to think like that. i followed hindu path for many many years, meeting Indian gurus like UG Krishnamurti and sai baba, doing yoga, meditation, tapas etc. Even attained the samadhis and self-realization. But when i died in September 2007, the veil was finally lifted and Satan tried to devour my soul, and only Jesus Christ was able to save me and return me to life.

  • I appreciate your point but still...

    What about the buddhist, Hindu or Muslims who had NDE's ? (Try googeling Near-Death (dot) com to see what I'm talking about...

    Glad you have your conviction though and that you were saved. Don't get me wrong.

    All I'm saying is that if you settle for religion, church or a book you have most likely found religion,, church or a book.

    They are not god... Personally couldn't stop there nor tell others too believe what I believe...

  • i was basically a buddhist/hindu when i had my death experience! Buddhism and hinduism are very much related, and i can prove that. But a NEAR death experience is a different phenomena. This was death, not a near death. Near death they see the white light, that yogi's also see in nirvikalpa samadhi. But its sill deception. When i died, the fallen ones tried to fool me that i had been in Japan in a past life, yet Bible says we have one life. Much deception in near-death experiences too.

  • (now bear in mind i was not a Christian) All kinds of things happened after i died, but at the end i was asked "do you accept Christ into your heart?" and i said yes. Then "There are 2 doors. If you chose the Satan door you may return to life, but if you choe the Christ Door you will face certain death". I chose the Christ Door, yet instead of my soul being obliterated, Jesus returned me back to life.

  • Don't share your opinion on what NDE is... some cases have people dead for long times so they where Dead, no question as it was confirmed by doctors etc.

    I still feel that was Your version of life after death...

    The Hindus have theirs as do the Muslims when they have their NDE...

    The difference is they just experience it from a Muslim and a Hindu's perspective... they aren't sent to hell for not being Christian, Read their stories...

    Don't take my word for it... Look it up for yourself.

  • BTW am I reading you right when you are talking about 2 door as saying you were lied too by God ?

    Anyway, happy you picked the right door.

    I'm off this for now...

    Starting to feel like measuring penis size and egos (metaphorically)

    God bless

  • Exactly, it was either to test me or a lie to trick me. After i chose the Christ door, the being said "Why do I sense such destruction in you?", then "Usually when people don't make eye contact they are ashamed of something". Then it's anger grew like a fire that was going to destroy my soul, it was that intense, and thats when i was completely reduced to being just like a helpless baby (not a powerful buddha! lol), and allowed to return.

  • I don't know.

    I might have problems in having faith in a good that lies.

    Sounds like you subconscious expressing frustration with the guessing game that is religon...

    Anyway

    I'm happy you are happy and safe.

    I'll be stopping commenting on this thread myself now.

    Don't feel like it's geting anywhere other than ego-ville.

    Be well

    God bless

  • ok , no need to respond back. But i think you missed what i was getting at, that maybe it wasn't God that asked me to choose between the 2 Doors, but Satan that asked. Satan is the father of lies. Satan is caled the 'god of this world'.

  • Thats really nice. Jesus christ got you back to life. Live this life given by Christ well. & next time you die try allah .

    cheers & God Bless

  • After the American Satan was shown, suddenly allah was speaking, and so i thought allah was the real god, & i was muslim for a time. But always Satan was behind the visions, and behind islam too, so there was no end to the fea and no Salvation. Then it would be another god, buddha, hindu etc. It just went on and on with each being revealed as an evil lie, until i experienced every human belief and each one exposed as a lie, until Jesus Christ finally saved me. You will find out too.

  • How did he save you?

  • Did you also try vodobanga, the god of mombasa

  • Eventually, when there was no escape, i was asked 'do you accept Christ into your heart?' i said yes. Then was told "There are 2 doors. If you chose the Satan door you may return to life, but if you chose the Christ Door you will face certain death".

  • If the man is a teacher, a Guru, you should bow to him. I've been in churches where there is a cross on the wall with Jesus on it. And people sing hyms and worship it. And I've heard Christians say "bow to the feet of the saviour". Well, that's why people worship Gurus.

  • Good video, really enjoyed it. I was there at that KHumba Mela and did much like what you did. thanks for taking the time to make the video

  • very different culture I like India

  • I can see how that could be uncomfortable...the first thing I would've done is got naked and bought a blanket. When in Rome...

  • Jbrentoniv:

    Good comment, gave me a good chuckle.

  • Thanks, but seriously, it would be really awkward walking around with your fancy runners and $100 backpack like a big dope. I'd walk around naked in my hometown if I could, let alone if I had the chance to go to a big fiesta like that. Peace.

  • Lol. He's super baked.

  • Useing Cannabis for the focus of the mind on spirituality has a long history in many places of the world.

    The reporter has obviously consumed to much and he does not seem to engage in any form o
