@kimberlyjoytan

It is disgusting indeed.If you believe or not , i have seen Things even worse , but i wasn`t allowed to film it.

About 1 km from that Place was another Cremation Spot.There were a countless Numbers of Bodies prepared to be burned , the Water there was black and someone was swimming in there searching for valuable Grave Goods and few steps from the Water there was a Dog eating from the Ashes.......got Appetite?

Were you allowed to film this? I was on the Ganges last year, and any sort of photos/film taken by people who weren't family was considered highly sacrilegious. Unless you're related to one of the people who was being cremated? I'm not trying to pass judgment or anything, I'm curious as to how you filmed this.

@sleekthiefful I have paid 15 Euro to Film this.

They told me not to publish that nor to show it to anyone.But as you can see , i am not a good Promise Keeper.

While they are living their life, we are sitting in front of a box, watching them live their life. What a stupid life.

first and foremost to all SPIRITUAL ILLITERATES, the GANGES is always pure because it flows directly from the feet of the LORD on to the earth. it DOES NOT become contaminated. fire is very pure and much cleaner than putting decomposed bodies in the ground to rot. before you project your materialistic concepts on india and the ganges you should research the fact that that is a spiritual place. if you cannot see or understand it thats fine. please dont bash those who are simple and PURE!

@hellyeah108 you're so blinded, you're actually justifying the crap that goes on in this video and river? By the way, i never knew spiritual places consisted of rotten dead bodies floating on the surface of rivers, diseases, shit, piss and all the countless amount of other shit i didn't mention.

@777Tatman hmm, i was under the impression that israel was the land of parasites not gods

[777Tatman]

@hellyeah108 This river isnt in Isreal, so it cannot flow from Gods feet, not the living God anyway, a false god, sure.

[777Tatman]

Bodies floating and decomposing in the river is not sanitary, you can call a thing anything you like, doesnt make it true, and we are illiterate?

Did it ever occur to you that the sacred Ganges is called that way because people actually consider it sacred? You could play with things you don't understand, the thing is that you have to stop if your little game offends even just a single person. And by publishing this video you simply offended the second most populus nation in the world (among other people). Congratulations! It is not hard, you just have to remove this video (which is, by the way, well... let's just say you're not a reporte)

@hellyeah108 *ahem* decomposition returns vital micro-organisms to the soil. Burying our dead it hardly insanitary, in fact, it keeps life going.
