If someone teaches you - "don't take something" as a rule this person is addicted to this "something" himself. Doesn't matter, it can be alcohol or some other substances or things in this world. It's about teaching and its roots. We forbide our own fears and violations.
@Boeuf65 i m sure u r not a hindu n sorry u can't understand the true meaning of this city besides" latrine cum dumpsite" this city have lot much to see n feel
@TheDrunkendoll i wood b much obiged if u cood help me understand the true meening of the so called city. i suggest the site (but not necessarily its people) be obiterated from the face uv the Earth for sanity and hijeans' sake
Yes! That's what makes India unique. The spirituality India has even now could put other countries to shame!
In most other countries religion is the biggest business. Tell me, where in Christianity or Islam, you are given the way to reach enlightenment? What these other religions have is a promise of heaven, if you give money to the church and mosque!
If you live in New York and visit Boston, Boston will appear strange to you. The same in India unless you open your eyes!
keep all the arguments apart, that which is the oldest and all that.fact is that its a great video, with brilliant soundtrack.feels the significance of varanasi and its rich culture
@pavancreddy Damascus is older than Varanasi...it has nothing to do with any "gospel". Damascus was around before any Christianity, Islam, or Judaism. It has been settled since even before Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other modern religion. Varanasi is not the oldest city in the world at all. You are uneducated.
@glorplaxy my frend. First of all Hinduism is not a modren religion. Its a faith of multiple gods same as greek mythology. but all other modern religions evolved very recently. and when u refer to damascus, u r talking about civilization. if so, then u r still wrong, harappa and mohenjadaro are much more older than damascus. Google it. plz dont go for biased info. and yes varanasi formed soon after harappa civilization which can be counted as one of the oldest cities in the world
@pavancreddy Firstly, Hinduism is a modern religion, in that it is still practiced widely in modern times, unlike Greek, Roman, Sumerian, American religions, etc. which are no longer practiced. When I refer to damascus, I am not talking about a civilization of a certain group of peoples, I am talking about the actual city. The site of Damascus has been continuously inhabited for for over 10,000 years, Varanasi only 3000. You are still wrong.
@glorplaxy i m not comparing varanasi with damascus u dummy . i said it is counted as ONE OF THE OLDEST CITIES. evidences of ages are available everywhere . not only in damascus. if u consider a group of people living together as a city then there were cities in africa much before than 10000BC . a place with group of people in african savanna must be a city . records show significant number of people settled there only after 2k BC, by that time Harappa was already a major civilization.
@pavancreddy A group of people settling in one area and staying there for 10,000 years is something unique and only happened pretty much in the Middle East, as the Middle East is the cradle of civilization. Significant numbers or not, Damascus has been settled for over 10,000 years and Varanasi has not.
@pavancreddy Dude your arguing about civilization using present day view of history do you know there are alternate theories? Look at thsoe under water temples in japan there estimated date is 15,000 to 50,000 years and thats an under estimate. The fact is there are archeological findings out there that blow the "we were cave men" theory out of the water. So its funny your talking confidently about damascus using a theory. NEWS FLASH theories change.
@onurrb to me the most fascinating thing about india is their religions,i am agnostic,i think their concepts are interesting,but i like more the beliefs than other things about india,because other things like their economy don't look well,it look very poor,indians must stop their high birth rate,many people is less per capita,of the 18 biggest economies,india have the lowest per capita,and korean dramas and japanese anime are popular in india?how many otakus and hallyu followers are in india?
Love Swami Shivananda ... he tells it like it is. It would be nice to see an unedited version of his comments. That was the most valuable part of the video.
Felicitaciones.............muy bien hecho e interesante....quiero llegar a la India y compartir un tiempo con su gente!!..me podrias indicar el nombre del grupo de la musica que usaste!! gracias..
Very well done vídeo . I know this baba , Shivananda Brahmacharya, spanish baba o lal baba. He likes very much to speak spanish , he knows funny triks in spanish , like : cincuenta y cinco , por el culo te la hinco , qué pasa , un burro por tu casa , japonesa me la pone tiesa , etc.Spanish ppl always teach him this kind of things , but he knows very well the meanings . He's always seating at a tea stall in Dashaswamed Ghat
Excellent video! You have captured the essence of Benares.I spend much time every year and this city is like no other place in the world. Both Kashi and India have changed my life, and my life is linked to this land forever.
I know this Babaji. he's a popular character there, and a man of knowledge. It was nice to see him here.
we are talking of 5000 years of continuous civilization... at those time scales precise age is difficult to gauge... i cant even imagine how long that is... its like forever... always...
varanasi is a great land... a land where you find some peace some relief and a lot of education... i wish i could pay it a visit right now
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well, I have to doubt that this city is the oldest inhabited city in the world - Damascus in Syria had people living there uninterupted for 1000 more years...
THis is a power-filled film...For myself, the more I chant and practice yoga the further I drop out of this rat race with its disease and constipation. The more people chant the more the material entanglements of Maya fall away and reveal the true bliss of the soul...
why is there urdu romantic poetry, Ghazal, on the sound track, and the Muslim Adhan, in the beginning? What does Varanasi has to do with ghazals and Adhan?
Dear dolphin, it's just a travelvideo, not scientific research. It happend at this planet, cultures mixing, music & video too. I'm not exception. I accept all religions. Next time I'll try to make KumbMela with TransMusic soundtrack, ok?
