you vidoes are awesome. Just would like to clarify about dying in Varanasi and getting Moksha (Liberation). The actualy meaning is metaphysical. Varanasi names comes from Varan + nasi ... varan = forehead and nasi = nose. Varanasi is where forehead meets nose i.e. he third eye region. In many cultures including hinduism, third eye is a symbolic of ego or identiy. so dying in Varanasi means death of ego or identity .. after which u get mokhsa..
I agree, Nat. There's always been something about Indian music that's been a bit off-putting to me (the high frequency? The repetitiveness? not sure what) but since I started watching these videos I've actually become a bit enamored with that song and have started looking into more music! I used to watch old Bollywood films in the 80's on a local cable station in Minnesota so I am trying to re-capture that interest, Thanks for the great commentary and comedy!
Rocking vid...i myself would never go to varanasi coz i hate crowds so kudos to you guys......but seriously you really should use some other song for your soundtrack..that chaiyya chaiyya song is really getting on my nerves.....
but i do agree that many people including hindus take it as if dying literally ..

Aww really? I'm still loving how epic that song is. And besides, it's kind of become our theme song for the trip!
