- Our travel in India has brought us to Mahashivaratri 2023 in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (South India), with none other than Sadhguru himself.
After a crazy few days in the mountains of Kerala, we were happy to take the break and head to one of India's and the world's biggest spiritual events, at Isha Yoga Centre. #mahashivratri2023 #sadhgurulatest #indiatravel

WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 7PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time)
Our plan next is to travel some more through Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala as we move further north through India
We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van conversion for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

What ever your religious or cultural beliefs this journey that you are thankfully sharing with us has been amazing. I have not only learnt a lot from your vlogs, but it has warmed my heart the welcome you have received and help you have been given.
It’s interesting that you are picked up on via comments on fine detail and the amount of human kindness you have seen is ignored or not commented on.
Let us all take a moment to be kind, and welcoming to all that we come into contact with. Thank you again, I am loving this journey you are on x
Thank you for this comment, means a lot to us
Absolutely 😍😍😍😍
Actually as Liam and Janine will vouch I have always remarked on such things but I also care enough to speak truth. Good day to you! ❤️
@it's me It's ok , don't be so rude,They don't know about our things that much
@@xyzabcpqr123 in a rude way
MahaShivratri is not the birthday of Shiva :) It is the festival commemorating the wedding of Shiva and Parvathi. Shiva was never born, he was always there before anything appeared.
Thank you for this information
Yes. Thank you. I'm very,very interested.
Thank you, love learning
There are different beliefs depending on which part of India you come from
We heard many different reasons, the wedding being one later in the night. But if you Google they say its shiva birthday...which is what we understood at the start...but later we learnt more. This is why traveling is so good, it deepens your knowledge
Once again thank you for showing the spiritual part of India. Traditionally you chant Shiva chants all night and fast during the night. It is wonderful seeing so many people together in celebration.
Celeste yes.... I also Love how Liam and Janine show us the spiritual side of India. I did 3 years of solo travel vlogging in India and the depth of spirituality was the BEST part ever for me. I celebrated SHIVRATRI in Gokarna twice!!!! They pulled the Shiva cart down the street amongst crowds. It was the best thing that I have ever seen in my life. I will go back to India, perhaps later this year India was challenging for me on every level but it is as equally exciting as it was challenging and I grew so much whilst in India. ❤️
Lord Shiva is consciousness, guidance towards self realisation and mindfulness ❤🙏🏻🕉️
Shiva is the life energy anything alive is part of shiva
🌼💗🌼
Such an incredible variety of culture, only possible in India. Nowhere else.
Shivaram I agree. I am from England and I have travelled to many countries. My most recent travel stint was a 3 year solo vlogging trip in India. And yes...... Such variety of culture is only possible in India. I don't think can travel anywhere else anymore because India is perfect for me 😆🇮🇳
@@travellingyoginikas u also look like Indian.
@@sanjupubgpro3861 yes I am Indian. I was born born and raised in England but my parents are Indian.
How exciting😊😊 you will have that memory for forever, safe travels love from Australia
Yes! Thank you!
Wow ,I really need to go to this festival it looks amazing , your travels in India have made me want to visit it even more now than I did before, my friend who I lost a couple of years ago spent a long time travelling overland to India for years it was like he's second home and I would have loved to have gone but my circumstances were different then and I couldn't go but watching your videos has certainly encouraged me to do it now at the age of 72 they say better late than never .Thank you for encouraging me to go for it.x❤
Definitely better late than never! Go for it ✌️🙏
It is never too late to travel but 72 is definitely not.
You are most welcome to visit india. ❤️
That guru is amazing, I watched some videos of him over the last few month's and he just blows my mind. That whole festival looked amazing...you are so lucky to be there. I'm really enjoying your videos, though I'm new to your channel. You both have been inspirational to me in that for the last 2 weeks I'm trying plant based food...and what an awesome experience its been. Really tasty food that I'd never thought of trying before. Thank you both..and keep going. Love it
Sadguru, is part of the WEF. He is so amazing ,that he said that depopulation is needed. On the stage at the conference. !!!
@@triciamcquillan8011 yeah its desperately needed we are occupying the space of other beings on this planet forested land is reducing the resources are being overused
Ah nice work Alex! Really pleased to hear that 😀
He is a wannabe osho.. But can never become one like osho even if he reborn seven times..
i love watching these lovely sweet folks travelling , but as i mentioned Sadguru isint who he claims to be and is no friend of humanity. We are in a spiritual battle and as long as we remain truthful to mother earth and The Most High Creator of all with the magnetic connection in our heart, we can over come this invasion of demonic beings. Much love Archana Singh. @@archanasingh3806
WOW WOW WOW. This is going on my bucket list. The atmosphere looks electric. So glad you finally got there to enjoy the spectacle.
You must must must go!!
I'm so pleased you made it and took the advice about staying. It was a spectacular experience that will stay with you forever. I can't imagine you returning to 100% UK van life anymore. I think your UK winter lives will be based in India from now on. There's such opportunities to do good. You should make contact with the Commonwealth Commission to find a way of doing good though your travels and vlogs on a longer term basis. I have felt since I visited India as a solo traveller in 2007 that India was rising to be the global superpower, and it will be good for all peoples of the world because Indians are such spiritual people. Bless you 🙏 ♥️
That's a really interesting point, and never thought of that before. What I love about Indian people is kindness & fun are at the heart of everything...that with their spirituality is a beautiful combination that the world could do with being inspired by
Amazing. You are sharing a wonderful version of India. Happy travels!
Thank you, its a pleasure honestly 😊
The no oil no boil chef is very innovative, he runs a skills training that teaches organic and heat-less cooking. Recently, he was feted for his world record of completing 300 no oil no boil dishes in record time😊
Wow! He's a great guy
Nothing goes to waste Janine, the clothes & accessories that you didn’t get to wear will always be a beautiful memory entwined in the amazing journey you are on 💕 Also any Indian festival is amazing to be a part of 🥳
I agree Tracy. They may get invited to a wedding on their travels or something so the clothes will come in handy. I was constantly getting invited to weddings when I travelled in India 😆
We will definitely get some use out of them soon, don't worry haha
Well said Tracy!
You both are very fortunate to have stayed up all night. I admire your devotion and respect to Shiva. There is saying that one wouldn't think of Shiva without his grace. That way, you both were blessed. Thank you for great editing and screenplay.
Wow, what a treat - you two and Sadguru in the same video!! Another amazing episode, thanks guys 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ThoseHappyDays god shiv first adi Yogi first yoga teacher
Wow! what an amazing experience! I subscribed to your channel years ago for the van life and vegan content, I have to say that this travel series in India is my favourite set of vlogs you've done to date. I look forward to each and every video coming out. I love all the kindness that you've given and received and that no matter what happens you always keep going and find a solution to every challenge you face. Love it ❤
Wow, thank you! Really loved reading that ❤️
mahashivratri is the wedding celebration of shiva and Parwati😅
the celebration was truly grand.
Archana yes SHIVRATRI was truly grand in this vlog. I LOVE how well Liam and Janine captured it ❤️👌🇮🇳 During my 3 year solo travel vlogging stint in India I celebrated SHIVRATRI twice. Both times in Gokarna where they pull the Shiva cart down the road. Spectators threw bananas and flowers at the cart whilst live music was playing. It was the BEST experience of my life ❤️
Shiva is the most gentlest in strongest of ways. He is with you even when you're not with him. He is constant reminder that one day you will be in him. He is Deat*h personified.
Wow absolutely fascinating and wonderful!! Shame you didn't get to wear your outfits , but I'm sure you will wear them at some point on your travels . Stay safe guys and thank you for bringing such colour and joy to our still grey days at home!
Yeah hopefully wear them to another event soon
You two have so much willpower and stamina to stay up all night. Well done .
Haha was tough at some points, but we got there
I spent 4 months in India, Kashmir and Nepal in 1985/6. I had such a monumentally different experience to the one you are having, it takes my breath away. I can't begin to image what it is like to have so much information about where to go and what to do. And everything looks so clean and modern! I have had my heart in my mouth over some of your exploits, and relieved that you are still in one piece, and having such a wonderful time. Absolutely amazing!
Thank you, you are right, India is developing quickly but the people are still the best 👌
India has indeed transformed a lot over the last 3 decades since opening up (liberalisation and less state controls) in 1991.
Foreign direct investment, huge opportunities for growth at a high growth rate of 7-10% are the norm for the last 2 decades, along with great improvements in income, health indicators and living standards. Many Indian firms have become Multinationals themselves with strategic assets across the world.
For eg, India is the world leader in digital transactions, paying from phone, third largest producer of automobiles, biggest exporter of softwares, auto-components and pharmaceuticals.
@@akhilnandhramesh6029 Thank you for all this information. I think most people in the UK are well aware of India's blossoming IT industry, although probably not the very interesting tech stats you have provided. I think for me, looking at these wonderful vlogs, it is like when you see a family after an absence over, in this case 38 years. You know it's going to be different, but it still is hard to get your head around the magnitude of the change. Great to chat - thank you. And many thanks to the intrepid (or crazy😁) Janine and Liam that facilitates all this
@@curleycale8274 indeed. I can only imagine how you feel seeing the country after 38 years.
the country is always fast changing at a frantic place.
This amazes even the Indian diaspora and non resident Indians who live in other countries, work and have settled down there, but visit india for their family, friends and also for the sake of their roots.
Even a 5 year absence can make one feel there has been a lot of development and transformation happening.
Yes, we do get Indian news overseas, but it’s difficult to fathom unless we see it-
For eg, more electric vehicles on road, metro rail, More apartments and skyscrapers etc, more companies and special economic zones popping up, more mechanisation In agriculture.
Each time a diaspora Indian goes back they will be surprised too!
On that note, do check out the skyline of mumbai, it’s something that’s constantly changing (taller) and ever amazing.
@@akhilnandhramesh6029old person so need someone who can tell me how to check out the skyline of Mumbai😂
What an incredible experience, I really appreciate you both sharing your experiences with us. Thank you🍃
Glad you enjoyed it! Our pleasure
What a wonderful experience. You are both so lucky to have been part of Mahashivratri 2023. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching
Shiva is the one who created spirituality, yoga, tantra, meditation- quite different to what West perceive them. the most important being in Indian history. no one knew his actual name. he was given 108 names each depicting his various aspects. the name Shiva means that which is not.
🙏🙏🙏
You guys are so Lucky to see Sadhguru and Madam President also 🇮🇳❤️
Wow! Liam and Janine, what a fabulous experience. It's my dream to go to ISHA for Shivrathri. I'm so glad that you were able to enjoy the chaos and celebrations of this wonderful event. Extra prayers on both your behalf, to make your incredible journey less dangerous with dear Pete! I've come to adore him, you know! Can't wait to see you next week.
Aw thank you ✌️🙏
You both are such an amazing couple.So tolerant to everything and remain very positive.You soak up so much knowledge and information about everything quickly. Your enthusiasm is tireless.
🙏❤️
Wow, that just gave me the most spiritual vibe ever! How absolutely amazing that you got to experience that. You really make me feel like I will have to make several journeys to India to really get to see as much as possible.
I love your go with the flow attitude, time is short and you make the most of every second. Stay safe guys, see you Sunday.
Life is way too short you are correct 👌✨️
I hope some TV people see what you guys are upto. You deserve a proper TV show, wether it be on terestial TV or Amazon etc. Not everyone is suited to TV, but you are. All the best from the East Riding of Yorkshire 😊
Wow, thank you!
I so agree!
Thanks for all the effort you put into sharing your fantastically brilliant travels in India. The festival looked great, happy you made it there. Hope your continuing journey is less stressful with Pete but just as exciting. See you next time. Very lovely couple. 🙏👌✌️
Ah I was watching the live stream on TH-cam, such an amazing experience for you both to be there. I’m sure you will get another opportunity to get dressed up in your new threads. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us all, hope Pete behaves for ya 🙏🏻🌼🌸✨
Thank you and great you watched the live steam too 😀
The festival looked fabulous. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you are all rested and feeling okay after the mountain tribulations. Stay safe and happy travels xx
Thank you, it was just what we needed
It reminds me a little of a strawberry festival in Cyprus a few years ago we stumbled across and was welcomed by all the Cypriots and it was an amazing experience, no trouble and food and drink with entertainment and lots of free strawberries served in various ways it was amazing to be welcomed in to their community
You guys are blessed….Jai shiva.
Very uplifting ~~ and then came the light display story as well ~~ brilliant!
Was incredible right? 😍
What a fantastic experience! I’m so glad you both enjoyed it, and thanks for sharing it with us! 🤗😍

@@ThoseHappyDays Shivaratri on steroids! I never went but know people who have been. It's every 12 years but i seem to remember there's mini one's in between.
Beautiful video thanks for taking the time to make it all the best until next time!
Welcome in India ❤❤ we all are ready to see your vlog.👏👏👏amazing to know you know so much about shivratrri and sadhguru.🖒🖒🖒
That was so interesting and enlightening.I also liked the words on the side of the carrier bag at 09.43 which says "There is no planet B".We really do have to take care of this planet.
Yeah love this, Tamil Nadu is very anti plastic
Just WOW. We’re living this experience through you. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. 💙🇬🇧💙
Your channel is addicted 🤩 loving your India series glad found your channel few days before
Thank you so much
Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience!!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching
Wow, Brilliant, Fantastic, Amazing, I don't know what else to say. I am a musician that plays a lot of big festivals in the uk, but nothing like that, would love to see this, take care guys.
You should go, it was incredible music
Wow...just amazing again guys...what an experience 🙏💝👌😍😘
Thank you so much 😀
With this video of Sadguru, you people have stolen our hearts. Happy journey in India. You got new subscriber
Thank you ❤️🙏
Absolutely fascinating guys! What an outstanding atmosphere! Gonna have to do abit more research into this gentleman and festival. Thankyou for this and happy travels.
Holy Freakin Dragon yes this vlog by Liam and Janine was TRULY FASCINATING 👌 I LOVE their vlogs so much. I also love Sadhguru. He is my favourite philosopher ❤️ I did do 3 years so solo travel vlogging in India and I celebrated SHIVRATRI in Gokarna which is not too far away from Goa. In Gokarna they pulled the Shiva cart down the street amongst crowds of people playing music. It was the BEST thing that I ever saw in my entire life. 👌❤️
🙏🇮🇳
Vegan food makes people so cool tempered, it reflects upon your polite conversation and behavior towards things & people you come across
Yes they have a good and appreciative attitude, Janine especially. Overall, and attitude is everything. She suited pink ! And Really a lot of people on U tube are so show off and self assured of themselves, which makes them tendentious. Stay appreciative you two !
That's very kind observation thank you
You radiate a very good energy both of you...I miss India I'd like to go back some day I have travelled a lot ...but I really enjoy holidaying with my good pal ...my dog..
🙏🙏
Hi guys!
We are. enjoying your vlogs so much!
Thank you for your efforts lots of love light and peace,🙏
✨️🙏
Wow !!absolutely amazing xx
please 🥺 come to NORTHEAST too
Hello Liam and Janine, great video, what a wonderful contrast to the issues you had with poor old Pete. I'm glad you both had the chance to enjoy one of your dreams at this lovely event. Well done Janine for staying awake, take care safe travels.
Thanks so much Darren
I remember when I visited Isha. It’s a awesome place.
Lovely to see that you had wonderful time at Mahashivratri ..My Inner Engineering initiation was the most amazing and transformational experience I have had and I can only be grateful for all that Sadhguru and Isha volunteers do !
Love your video. Such a bucket list festival experience, wow. This has been a wonderful series. Stay hydrated.
Hydrated is key haha m
Wow that's amazing so glad you got to experience it 🥰
So were we, was rocky roads to get there though haha
Loved this video, thank you for sharing this wonderful journey ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow beautiful thank you for sharing guys, x
Our pleasure!
Beautiful sharing X
Great. Your videos are professional and your ISHA experience is informative.
Another amazing trip and video guys. It's going to get really hot this year from the climate readers!
lol, yes, that's India.. it never lets you prepare and forces you to face it head-on!
Still, I wish I could see you guys in the new dress.
But I don't believe it's shiva's birthday. I think according to different sects this is celebrated as a day of celebration for Shiva marrying Parvati, or
the flow of Ganga from the milky way through his dreads to earth, or
Shiva saved the universe from the churning of the great ocean in the universe which spewed poison. Shiva saved the universe by drinking its poison and storing it in his throat that you see in the light show or something like that.
Hiii, wow I loved it, never been to Mahashivratri, really glad you did
Thank you for this amazing cultural adventure ✨🌈👏🏻🌈✨
Thanks for watching 👀
Thanks brother for showcasing our culture ❤lots of love from AYODHYA❤🙏🕉
My pleasure 😊

So cool! Two of my favorite TH-cam channels colliding. You guys and Sadhguru. Jealous of your experience, very cool 🤙
Lute what a collision. Similar to u I love Those Happy Days and also Sadhguru. I discovered Sadhguru's videos during my 3 year solo travel vlogging stint through India. The depth of spirituality in India was my favourite part of the journey 👌
@@travellingyoginikas oh cool! Yeah I’ve wanted to visit India for a while because of the spirituality. I found sadhguru a few years back when I was going through dark times. Was listening to a lot of Eckhart Tolle and Alan Watts, which lead to Krishnamurti and Sadhguru 🙏☺️ they’ve all helped me sort out a lot, very grateful.
@@lute1986 yes I like how Sadhguru shares his philosophy in order to help us obtain wellness in the mind. During my travels in India I spoke alot about spirituality and wellness. For example, the inner power of goddess Parvati who enables is to cultivate our inner power, the theory of Shiva god who represents breaking us before making us and the theory of Ganesh god who removes our obstacles. I showed it all on my TH-cam channel during my temple visits in india. You are welcome to watch my videos if you wish ❤️
Some great speakers & masters there mate! So pleased they helped you 😀
Please visit thiruvanamalai.
It’s the best spiritual place in india with so many ashrams.
Ramana ashram is very famous for the meditation.

Desperate to go, but fully booked or something to do with full moon won't let us stay

Thank you for sharing, it was wonderful .
Glad you enjoyed it!
good to have you in my beautiful country
That is a Kicking song @ 5.00 great choice
Another wonderful video! That looked like one of your best experiences! ❤
Pauline. Yup..... An other WONDERFUL video by Liam and Janine ❤️ I think SHIVRATRI is DEFFO the best experience for them and for me 😆 I was solo travel vlogging in Gokarna Karnatica (south India) during 2021 SHIVRATRI fest and also 2022 SHIVRATRI fest The Shiva cart was pulled down the street with lots of live music playing in the crowds. It was the BEST thing I have ever experienced in my life ❤️
Yeah it was and will be such a highlight ✨️
AMAZING 😮!!!!!!!!!¡
Thank you again for sharing. Quite an education 🌹🌹🌹
Incredible!
Wow incredible
Lord shiva plz save the wonderful couple God bless you Mr.. Mrs..
We have just moved from India to UK to explore UK and Europe but your videos make us feel to miss more of my motherland. You guys are doing an amazing job. I cant wait to see the upcoming videos but please safe travel is important.
Thank you, and we will try
it's a spiritual awakening...
Absolutely love your birthday outfits the dress and colour really suits u
Hola👋 from southern New Mexico🌵🌶️...Wow! Love your new clothes hope you can wear them to another event or just.going out. So very interesting. Thanks for sharing. 💖 Much love sent.💫🙏

🙏✨️
Awesome vlog 👍🙏🏼❤️
Good evening, beautiful people. That's more like it, after the last stressful episode. By the looks of it, it makes the Stones at Glastonbury seem like a local pub gig by comparison!! You guys seemed to have soaked up the atmosphere completely. Good for you two. Onward and upward, well, not literally upwards again. 🤗
😄😄😄❤️
