  • Welcome to our family adventure in Varanasi, India - a city that's not just a destination but an incredible journey into spirituality, history and culture! Join us on this mesmerizing exploration as we uncover the magic of Varanasi through the eyes of our little explorers.
    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 In this travel vlog, we'll step beyond our classroom learning about witnessing cremations and instead delve into the captivating energy that we've heard about from Sadhguru. Join us as we uncover the secrets to making your Varanasi trip with kids truly memorable. From lively ghats to peaceful temples, Varanasi has something to offer every member of the family in this age-old city.
    🕍 Begin your day with us as we take a stroll along the city's rich spiritual heritage with visits to ancient temples. Our children did not only enjoy an unforgettable educational experience but were also intrigued by the bustling markets with their street food.
    🚤 Don't miss a boat ride on the holy River Ganges, where we share our awe at the old architecture and history of Varanasi, all while enjoying the scenery of the river.
    🔥 Our children were spellbound by the enchanting Aarti ceremony where the river comes alive with the flickering flames of oil lamps and the melodious chants of priests. It's a sight that leaves many people awestruck.
    So, if you're planning a family trip to India and want to introduce your kids to the rich culture and spirituality of this incredible country, join us on this unforgettable adventure to Varanasi.

    4:33 All of you are like a family to us Indians. You are welcome to India. If you all go home from here, take back many good memories. If there are some shortcomings, highlight them so that we can improve on them and build a better society. By the way, India is known as the holy land of spirituality. I would expect from you that whether you take something from India or not but you definitely take the spiritual soul with you. For your information, let me tell you that according to Hindu (Sanatan) religion, when a person dies, he is burnt in fire. Small children and sages are not burnt, they are buried. According to Hindu religion, our body is made up of five elements of nature (earth, water, fire, sky, air). According to Hindu religion, you redistribute the body into these five elements after death, whether you burn the body, bury it, drown it in water, because the body will merge with this nature in some way or the other. Now a question will arise in your mind that why children and sages are not burnt and why burning is a good way? So the answer is that the soul of a person who is more materialistic gets attached to his body. She is not able to leave that dead body easily and we do many wrong things in life knowingly or unknowingly. Unless our body is burnt our soul does not attain salvation. The function of fire is to purify things. For example, when milk is heated it purifies it by killing the bacteria and viruses in the milk. Similarly, it purifies our body and environment also. Children and sages are not very materialistic, hence the soul of their body does not have much attachment to their body. May there be happiness in your life and may your journey be auspicious. Because our elders and scriptures say that "VASUDHAIV KUTUMBAKAM " means this entire earth is your family. (One Earth, One Family, One Future). You must have heard these words in the G 20 2023 meeting.
    🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Avoid Delhi and Mumbai at all costs. They're chaotic, unsafe for women, and will drain your energy. India offers countless stunning places beyond these overrated metropolises. Yet, most foreign tourists flock to these exhausting and stereotypical spots. For tranquility, head to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Flights are available from major cities. It boasts India's finest beaches and is remarkably safe. Don't miss Ladakh, Meghalaya, Kerala and Sikkim either. A quick online search will reveal their breathtaking beauty. India is home to over 60% of the Himalayas, making any village or valley in these mountains far superior to the chaotic big cities.

    These tour guides main culprits!
    India govt should consider allowing only licensed people who well trained !
    The one u hired in Delhi was also a fraudster !

    • @our-travel-journal
      @our-travel-journal  ปีที่แล้ว

      Why do you think that way?
      We felt that we had incredibly nice and helpful people guiding us. Sometimes it was someone who owned the accommodation we stayed at and he was showing us their neighborhood, sometimes it was someone with a license of some sort and sometimes a tourism management student who was trying to get experience with foreigners, …
      To be honest, being guided by the „ordinary“ people often gives a more real impression of life in a particular country.
      After traveling to numerous countries, we can say that licensed professionals SOMETIMES just process a set programme which doesn’t always fit our mode of travel (e.g. when you are on a journey with kids, the little ones need more breaks and play options than facts & figures 😉)
