Or he's just floating, ever think about that? He just says he's driving a scooter so nobody freaks out; but in India they see that every once in a while so they're not worried about it.
I have been inside the dome(lotus). It's pretty amazing place, you'll feel like you are in a dream. There are multiple meditation rooms(petals of the lotus), each room signify different state of mind. There's a place beneath the dome where there is water flowing in circles, we sat around it and meditated before we entered the dome. Inside the dome they give you special socks to wear, you wear it and walk up a flat stairs, the floor is a fluffy carpet. Finally you reach a room with cushions to sit on and meditate. There is a small opening on the top of the dome, the light enters and the giant crystal refracts and it lightens up the entire room. You get nearly 20 mins to meditate. There is a banyan tree near the dome which has some significance. After the tour inside the dome, we sat beneath the tree and meditated. It was a really good experience. I'm hoping to visit again.
I am an Indian.. You being a foreigner to this country really know a lot about our country , it's culture, it's history, it's language etc. I m really proud that India as a country has inspired you so much. Keep up the good work. I follow your stuff. Travel to North East India if possible. It's has some really beautiful places.
I played this video as I was having a panic attack in hopes that it would bring me back down and give me some normalcy... After about 8 minutes I had fully stopped crying and was able to breathe normally again and even write this comment. Your videos go so far and help us see that there's more to life than what's put in front of us. Thank you for being you. Never stop creating and keep exploring Kota!!
I can't even put into words the connection I feel towards tree's, and Banyan trees have always been in my top 3 or 4 favorite. There are actually Banyan trees in Florida. My mom worked at Cypress Gardens in Central Florida back in the 70's and she said that she would take her lunch break beneath a giant Banyan tree that was in the Park. Further down in Florida there's a huge traffic circle where Hwy US.1 starts. There are I believe 7 giant Baobob trees, and each a different species, just like the trees from Madagascar that ate extremely wide the entire length up the tree. They have saved entire villages from droughts because the trees can hold thousands of gallons of water. The place where US1 started is in Hollywood Florida, and they try to say that these treees are only 60 years old, but you can see pictures of them already there. In India the story goes that during the churning of the ocesn of milk in order to get the amritum many other devine gifts were also churned up. One was a trees that resembles the Baobob Therd are about 5 total across India, and they are worshiped and decorated beautifully. These are called gift giving trees because they were able to hrant your wish. Indra claimed the first one, but Shiva later manages to bring one down from Indralok. .These trees have flowers that have a long stem, and a heart shaped end, so Kamadev,(the Indian cupid basically) would use these as his magical arrows to make people fall in love. Later on while Shiva was in meditation the gods decided that Shiva needed to produce an offspring and figured the easy way was to get kamadev to hit him with a love arrow. So Kamadev comes upon Shiva and gets him in his sites, pulls back his arrow and releases it, to have lord Shiv block the arrow with his Trishul and burn Kamadev to a pile of ashes. I love this story, sorry if it was off topic, but Shiva killing cupid just seems great, because I think everyone has felt like that before. Kamadev was mostly fixed except his body couldn't be brought back. Back to the huge ancient trees, they are like living examples of the out of place artifacts. Sorry for the length, 🙏 take care.
Great video, I hope you go back and film the inside! I love the way people interact with eachother and are so open to conversation in that part of India, it seems very genuine and sweet. By the way, Banyan Trees grow everywhere in Florida, they are very wonderful! They are the wisdom keepers.
Hey dakota, here's something u can say when u see a random person on the street or talk to someone (in tamil) instead of using hindi lol: Vanakam - Welcome Nan-dri - Thank you An-na - Elder Brother (also used for older guys(respectful)) Ak-ka - Elder Sister (also used for older girls(respectful)) Thambi - Younger brother (call the kids u see on the street this and they will get excited trust me) Thangachi - Younger Sister Im from Tamil Nadu but I moved to Canada like 5 years ago and I just finished high school, missing home big time, btw Pondicherry is also known for private beach parties and cheap alcohol. PS: I feel like you'll really like Sivan temples cause I felt the best connection/vibe (more laid back but strong) there which u need to experience to understand. Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur (tamil nadu) and the Ekambareswarar Temple in Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu). But yeah have fun.
crazy that you uploaded this just now, i just heard about auroville last night and was reading all about it! really cool to see it like this. i love the banyan tree.
Arvind escaped the British government and took refuge in the French colony of Pondi. He made this ashram. He believed that the next phase in human development can only happen when all humans are connected and aware of the truths. He said that with meditation and liberal attitude we can transcend and become superhumans. With power to connect across the globe. 100 years later we are connected by internet.
That's what it looks like when your heart is open and you know who you are... Dakota Gi is a premium dude. Btw: What bike does a Hindu Hells Angel ride? A Harley Krishna
15:08 known as king of trees in ancient vedic culture. Banyan trees are recommendation number 1 by Indian sages, to achieve enlighten Nirvana during years of focused meditation. To do meditation under Banyan tree is best thing you can do in life.
The banyan trees are such a great metaphor for source and all creation, went to auroville on my first trip to India last year and the trees tripped me out too! Haha love these Tamil Nadu videos
Bohut acha hai G :) I love Banyan trees too. We used to find them in our cities too in the 90's (atleast in Bangalore we did). As kids we used to climb them. The things protruding outta the tree are actually roots (Whaa??). Banyan tree is the only tree which has roots above ground. There's this huuuuge Banyan tree near Bangalore, which is believed to be 400yrs + old and it covers 3 acres.
We have similar trees to the Banyan trees in Australia called Figs, Strangler Fig trees are really cool Their seeds, often bird-dispersed, germinate in crevices atop other trees. These seedlings grow their roots downward and envelop the host tree while also growing upward to reach into the sunlight zone above the canopy. An original support tree can sometimes die, so that the strangler fig becomes a "columnar tree" with a hollow central core. (These are awesome to walk inside if you get to see them). However, it is also believed that the strangler fig can help the support tree survive storms.
Hi @Dakotawint Interesting video again, COOL PLACE...my hope for all who follow you, that your heart space expansion reaches all who viewed your vids. Namesta heart felt soul! My bro! Love you DAKOTA!💙💚💛💜💖💗💖💗💝❣💥
cool to see this place now. I lived in Pondicherry for a year as a high schooler (17 year old white american) and it changed my life. that was 2010. i will say that i don't find auroville to be the 'money free, no law society that they try to portray themselves as. lots of locals say that they are often shorted pay for lots of work there, the land itself was basically stolen from locals originally, they were told it was worth nothing, and being villagers without knowledge of real estate they just accepted like $10 for hundreds of acres. they're also pretty disconnected from true india. idk it seems idealist project that has a lot of flaws. they also do preach a very specific dogma. none the less thats just my 2 cents and dude im jealous you're in Pondi these days. haven't been back since 2014 and i miss the shit out of indian street food.
the 'no politics' thing is totally a lie too. they play a weird low-key role in a lot of local politics. they're a very wealthy community of europeans who want to avoid taxes and do drugs pretty much. very cultist and secretive. they rubbed myself and my friends the wrong way when we were there just livin in pondi trying to be a part of the actual indian community.
Dakota got me curious and I looked up Auroville on YT. The same theme came up that keeps coming up these days when I look deeper into most communities. It is truly upsetting but I guess I need to know or I wouldn't continually hear about it. To me, these Indians are some of the most beautiful people. I've added them to my prayers.
I love your content dakota ji!❤️ I just wanted to tell you that Hindi works in some major cities and northern india only. So even if u speak Hindi here in the south, they might not understand you but they'll definitely be surprised to hear you speak Hindi in your own effortless way! Stay happy! Stay weird! Stay trippy man!
your experience full of insightful and that makes your content valid. packing up life to move to Goa and LIVE. thank you for your time and efforts. Keep doing what you do! so well, brother, so well!
#funfact : for people who love to eat fish and drink: just 2 or 3 kilometers from Auroville there is Pondicherry University situated just near the beach. Every Saturday and Sunday at the University Beach(its just named that way, it's not related to the university, just because the beach is near to university its named in such a way) early morning when the fishermen comes back from the sea with their fishes. Their wives wait for them and the fishermen gives fresh alive fishes to their respective wives and you can go there choose the fish of your choice. They'll cut it in front of you and serve it right there at nearly half the rates of Pondicherry main town. Also there are 2 government authorized wine and beer shop: where you don't have to pay any taxes too. Beer is fu*king cheap there. One can get a few cans and just enjoy the beach view with hot fried fishes all day long. **not on weekdays : just Sat & Sun.
He has such a great knowledge of Indian history, like the way you speak about bhagat singh, that was so amazing..The knowledge and the experience that I get from you and this channel cannot be compared to anything as its the best... #respect
hey Dakota! have you been to the Naadi Temple? where they read your 2000 year old palm leaves writen by the seven rishis, based on your thumb print they tell you your name & birthday, parents & sibling names, your occupation, spouse name, past & future incarnations. Dude you gotta go and film it!
Pondicherry vlog isn't that much that i was looking for, still thanks for giving a deep breakdown on the culture out there. btw loved your videos of himachal, ramana maharishi, goa and keep it going. we indians have never explored this much the way you did. man just get the citizenship and we both will sell pakodey and chai at hill station 💪🏻
You should have a work program for people who can not afford your retreat. I am broke but would really like to go. I would work 90% of the time and buy my own plane ticket! Just saying. Love you glad you are doing what you are doing here.
Thanks Dakota. Yeah Banyan trees are very cool. Berries propagate the same way with the ends of their branches starting new plants where they touch the ground and root. Sorry you did't get into the main shrine at Auroville. Beautiful place. Thanks for taking us there!

First applied non-resistance campaign against British at South Africa in 1914. But later he returned back to India and fought with British Raj and got independence 15th August,1945.
Oh man id bed seriously upset having went there and not gotten to go inside ,after watching this I watched a few documentarys on it what a incredible place ,inside the dome is nuts
Dakota since your at pondicherry already , I'd suggest you explore kerala . The place is beautiful and maybe you get check out one of the houseboats 🤘 . I'm sure you will find the ayurveda interesting as well .
yeh the tree , main banyon tree was awsome. i was totally drawn to it as i am with most trees and i later discovered this tree was the main pivotal power point there for the whole creation of auroville
Despite India getting it's freedom in 1947 from British, Pondicherry being a French colony got its freedom from French in 1962. He is right, get in the habit of fact checking before preaching Brother. 🙌🏽
He might be right about pondicherry but here im talking about india as a whole nation! And ive clearly mentioned that in tge comment i suggest you to read carefully before you preach to others🙌
@@dakotawint ah ok. I think its awesome you take the time to read these comments. I know many people that never respond to comments and its nice that you engage your fans!
Here in Sarasota Florida the Ringling Art museum has beautiful banyan trees, they're magical right?! 💫💚 They're all over but there's a cluster on John and Maple property called Catizon! I love your vlogs, as always thank you! 💫❤️
thise main tree's is called 'bot gach' in Bengal... it's believed that after death and body reincarnation the souls and spirits stay's there..though a myth 😃
Beautiful spiritual place , well all india has .. that beach too, and less toured by westerners it seems ? .... hope you get the chance to go inside that place . Hows that red dust ha ja still find it months after this trip ..
Please explore what You Tuber Abhijit Chavda says about Gandhi and the Indian Revolution. I have been to India 3 times, but only Mumbai and Pune. I so agree with your comment about the women in India and their amazing garments. And that quote about plants. An old friend of mine, Indian woman, was into this Guru and showed me images of this place. Definately the most beautiful place I've ever seen in India. Glad you experienced it. I went out with a Bengali guy and he took his parents to Pondicherry for relaxation and vacation. He showed me photos and it did look really nice. I'm not a fan of India personally, or most Indians, after coping with their culture and being married to and sucked dry energetically by an Indian man. I love Santana Dharma/Hinduism still. But like any authentic spirituality, that can be an individual experience not dependent on intermediaries or rituals. I do have a pretty great collection of hindu images and murtis and they are gateways to the gods and goddesses and overall spiritual experience emanating from them.
I know it's about safety. And you are right. But don't know why the police also do not say anything. You can rent a normal scooter or a heavy bike just by submitting your any identity card. they will return it when you hand over the vehicle to them. They too don't provide a helmet. I think that's the main reason. As in general there are few locals who wear the helmet and may be it's a tourist destination and tourist love to explore places if they get a bike/scooter and the shops who provide these vehicles do not keep helmets for rent. If they kept it I think it would be much safer for all beings.... #funfact : for people who love to eat fish and drink: just 2 or 3 kilometers from Auroville there is Pondicherry University situated just near the beach. Every Saturday and Sunday early morning when the fishermen comes back from the sea with their fishes.

Auroville golden dome. I think it could be a portal and when you see the inside, there are videos, you think about a spaceship. So, indeed, very good insight when you sense about aliens. Multidimensional portal to me. 🌈
Banyan trees are amazing, I love them too. They don't grow from the ground, the seeds are dropped on another tree by a monkey, bird or other animal, and they grow as epiphytes, releasing those strange roots to the ground. It slowly suffocates the host tree and become a fruit (fig) bearing tree, feeding monkeys and birds, so the cycle continues. Banyan trees are called the "tree of gods".
He's driving on the craziest streets in the world while driving one handed, holding a go pro, and giving a tour. *Respect*
Now that's Realization!😂👍 That's a good one.
He's a man of many talents!!
💕✌
Or he's just floating, ever think about that? He just says he's driving a scooter so nobody freaks out; but in India they see that every once in a while so they're not worried about it.
With no helmet 😂
Really i have been there for two times 😂😂😂
This guy has such a good heart

Wow! Thanks for sharing that!
There's the frisson material for the day. Sounds wild
Dudeeee 💕
The atmosphere there is very helpful. It’s one of the few places where I have meditated successfully.
Can i live in that building? Hahaha

Your excitement and joy towards those trees is contagious :)
the peaceful look in your eyes while you're in the presence of these majestic places on earth makes me so happy. thank you for these vlogs.
Your upliftedness and excitement in in the park with the golden golfball made me smile :)
Golden golf ball...😂😂😂
Great video, I hope you go back and film the inside! I love the way people interact with eachother and are so open to conversation in that part of India, it seems very genuine and sweet. By the way, Banyan Trees grow everywhere in Florida, they are very wonderful! They are the wisdom keepers.
“How did somebody make that circle without any footprints? Aliens.” 😂
Hey dakota, here's something u can say when u see a random person on the street or talk to someone (in tamil) instead of using hindi lol:
Vanakam - Welcome
Nan-dri - Thank you
An-na - Elder Brother (also used for older guys(respectful))
Ak-ka - Elder Sister (also used for older girls(respectful))
Thambi - Younger brother (call the kids u see on the street this and they will get excited trust me)
Thangachi - Younger Sister
Im from Tamil Nadu but I moved to Canada like 5 years ago and I just finished high school, missing home big time, btw Pondicherry is also known for private beach parties and cheap alcohol.
PS:
I feel like you'll really like Sivan temples cause I felt the best connection/vibe (more laid back but strong) there which u need to experience to understand. Brihadeeswara Temple
in Thanjavur (tamil nadu) and the Ekambareswarar Temple
in Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu). But yeah have fun.
I love Tamil, trying to learn it now so when I go to South India I can speak a little bit at least.
Ennavo..
Tamil is the oldest language in the world
crazy that you uploaded this just now, i just heard about auroville last night and was reading all about it! really cool to see it like this. i love the banyan tree.

🌈🙏🌈
cool to see this place now. I lived in Pondicherry for a year as a high schooler (17 year old white american) and it changed my life. that was 2010.
i will say that i don't find auroville to be the 'money free, no law society that they try to portray themselves as. lots of locals say that they are often shorted pay for lots of work there, the land itself was basically stolen from locals originally, they were told it was worth nothing, and being villagers without knowledge of real estate they just accepted like $10 for hundreds of acres. they're also pretty disconnected from true india. idk it seems idealist project that has a lot of flaws. they also do preach a very specific dogma.

I love your videos brother, A happy hello from California : )
I can feel the aura of that ambient music from here... 14:08
Oh my god...i live in Auroville too...and i love your vids...how did i miss seeing you around ...
Interview yourself podcast style so we can learn about you even more because no one will ask you the questions we need.
Awe I like this idea
I love your content dakota ji!❤️

How beautiful, I would love to one day have the means to travel to India. The people seem so friendly and accepting,curious.
Auroville looks amazing, have to visit on my next India trip.(edit: typo)

We got those trees in south Florida. Very similar climate it seems.
The golden ball and the geometric design looks amazing! Those trees are pretty bad ass!
He has such a great knowledge of Indian history, like the way you speak about bhagat singh, that was so amazing..The knowledge and the experience that I get from you and this channel cannot be compared to anything as its the best... #respect
Thank you bro
hey Dakota! have you been to the Naadi Temple? where they read your 2000 year old palm leaves writen by the seven rishis, based on your thumb print they tell you your name & birthday, parents & sibling names, your occupation, spouse name, past & future incarnations. Dude you gotta go and film it!
That’s one of the coolest trees I’ve ever seen!
You know about Bhagat Singh..?!?! Great 😊
I love seeing these kinds of places and I would never get to see him if you didn’t make them. Thank you thank God for you keep going strong.
Pondicherry vlog isn't that much that i was looking for, still thanks for giving a deep breakdown on the culture out there. btw loved your videos of himachal, ramana maharishi, goa and keep it going. we indians have never explored this much the way you did. man just get the citizenship and we both will sell pakodey and chai at hill station 💪🏻
Citizenship...
Chai
Pakode...
Bro sarcasm level on peak 💯❤️❤️❤️😜😜😜😜😜
@@sudhirsamukhrao4063 sarcasm ki wajah se toh life mein serious ni ho payaa 😂 tabhi last option pakode aur chai bechna bacha hai
Bahut sundar video it's great you know Hindi also, bahut bahut shubhkamnayen
You should have a work program for people who can not afford your retreat. I am broke but would really like to go. I would work 90% of the time and buy my own plane ticket! Just saying. Love you glad you are doing what you are doing here.
I will consider that for the 2021 retreats :)
I'd do it!
happy luv day dakota ✨ sending you all the luvvv
Thanks Dakota. Yeah Banyan trees are very cool. Berries propagate the same way with the ends of their branches starting new plants where they touch the ground and root. Sorry you did't get into the main shrine at Auroville. Beautiful place. Thanks for taking us there!

Some interesting bollards along the beach roadside marked: Pot.Hys ... Yes, I hope so indeed ...
yeh the tree , main banyon tree was awsome. i was totally drawn to it as i am with most trees and i later discovered this tree was the main pivotal power point there for the whole creation of auroville
I Love how everyone returns a Smile 😃 Hug a Banyan ♥️
Honestly was hoping for a peek at the biggest crystal ball 🔮 in the world.
Man, Gandhi died in 1948. I was in Pondicherry about 10 years ago; should have visited Auroville.
I thought of meditation after watching your video, that's really incredible. I will meditate after finishing this video. Thanks Dakota❤
Not 60’s, India was a independent country in 1947.
Despite India getting it's freedom in 1947 from British, Pondicherry being a French colony got its freedom from French in 1962.
He is right, get in the habit of fact checking before preaching Brother. 🙌🏽
He might be right about pondicherry but here im talking about india as a whole nation! And ive clearly mentioned that in tge comment i suggest you to read carefully before you preach to others🙌

Hey my Friend why not start sell some of the peru sweaters so you and them make some coins.. those are fire and i Think they will sell good
Are there ways an Australian can live and work there? even temporarily?
Is there a benefit to speaking English?
You can find a decent job just with your fluency in English language
@@MyYash16 That's the only language I can speak. Do you think that will be a big problem?
@Esteban Graham What makes me able of such things? Is it again, my English?
Good day,
You are welcome anytime.

A lot of banyan trees have been planted in Florida. There is a nice one at Thomas Edison's winter home in Fort Myers.
Hey I live in auroville and I love your videos I live next to solar kitchen
I am just there, and it's amazing!! Are you planning to go back there?
Finally! Was waiting for this video. :)
Please explore what You Tuber Abhijit Chavda says about Gandhi and the Indian Revolution. I have been to India 3 times, but only Mumbai and Pune. I so agree with your comment about the women in India and their amazing garments. And that quote about plants. An old friend of mine, Indian woman, was into this Guru and showed me images of this place. Definately the most beautiful place I've ever seen in India. Glad you experienced it. I went out with a Bengali guy and he took his parents to Pondicherry for relaxation and vacation. He showed me photos and it did look really nice. I'm not a fan of India personally, or most Indians, after coping with their culture and being married to and sucked dry energetically by an Indian man. I love Santana Dharma/Hinduism still. But like any authentic spirituality, that can be an individual experience not dependent on intermediaries or rituals. I do have a pretty great collection of hindu images and murtis and they are gateways to the gods and goddesses and overall spiritual experience emanating from them.
You literally love everything around and that's very beautiful :)
Where’s your helmet bruh...
I know it's about safety. And you are right. But don't know why the police also do not say anything. You can rent a normal scooter or a heavy bike just by submitting your any identity card. they will return it when you hand over the vehicle to them. They too don't provide a helmet. I think that's the main reason. As in general there are few locals who wear the helmet and may be it's a tourist destination and tourist love to explore places if they get a bike/scooter and the shops who provide these vehicles do not keep helmets for rent. If they kept it I think it would be much safer for all beings....
#funfact : for people who love to eat fish and drink: just 2 or 3 kilometers from Auroville there is Pondicherry University situated just near the beach. Every Saturday and Sunday early morning when the fishermen comes back from the sea with their fishes. Their wives wait for them and the fishermen gives fresh alive fishes to their respective wives and you can go there choose the fish of your choice. They'll cut it in front of you and serve it right there at nearly half the rates of Pondicherry main town. Also there are 2 government authorized wine and beer shop: where you don't have to pay any taxes too. Beer is fu*king cheap there. One can get a few cans and just enjoy the beach view with hot fried fishes all day long.
**not on weekdays : just Sat & Sun.
What an awesome dome! I wish you could’ve gone inside.
Auroville golden dome. I think it could be a portal and when you see the inside, there are videos, you think about a spaceship. So, indeed, very good insight when you sense about aliens. Multidimensional portal to me. 🌈
Hello Dakota,we do have banyan trees here in south florida.
Banyan trees are amazing, I love them too. They don't grow from the ground, the seeds are dropped on another tree by a monkey, bird or other animal, and they grow as epiphytes, releasing those strange roots to the ground. It slowly suffocates the host tree and become a fruit (fig) bearing tree, feeding monkeys and birds, so the cycle continues.
Banyan trees are called the "tree of gods".
Imma see this one day too! its crazy, how peaceful the whole world could be, dammiiiiit. but one day brothers and sisters!
I've seen those banyon trees (or something very similar ) in Florida.
