I'm so amazed at how we are all so different in this world ❤️ I love and cherish diversity, culture, and religion. Varanasi is definitely on my bucket list❤️❤️❤️ I love India❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
I’ve ever been visited Varanasi a long time ago now, twenty year with three friends very good memories, India is fascinating, I love it .Thanks for your beautiful report
Thank you
I love this travel video because it relates to both traveling and life in general.
And though my words don’t come close to fully capturing the essence of this incredible journey, definitely I can say this is one of the best and most inspirational destinations for travel lovers.
I was very impressed by your photography. Also impressed by your immense respect their rich culture. I have never been to India, and your cinematography makes me wish I could go. Thank you
I only been to Tamil Nadu and would love to see and visit the Ganges in my lifetime
I wish river ganga gets back to its purest form
I'm from Malaysia and I just visited ganges on September 2022, super clean. It's very unlike the ganges shown in this documentary. I even went to the Kasi Viswanathan temple, it's Soo beautiful. I felt blessed to be there. Wish to go there again.
I'm guessing when you use the word "super clean" you actually meant toxic cesspool, correct?
u must be blind
yeap@@TboneWTF
@@TboneWTFnah it's actually clean only during mansoon when due to have rainfall soil erosion happens the water turns dirty and Ganga and yamuna get polluted at different locations you can see them clean at Varanasi, Haridwar, Mathura, and Rishikesh
its because this documentary is pretty old.
The river is successfully turned into a sewer. I don’t see the holy part.

@@himanshunagarwal1019yeah I bet they clear up at some point. But this amount of trash is way too much. How are y’all gonna enjoy the outdoors if it’s filled with trash?
Do you think that many people bathing & drinking would get sick & die if it were not ok? Some of the trash you see are flower Petals floating…did you miss the person sweeping up the walk- way of the market after most had gone? Some of the cities in US are just as bad, homeless, Addicts, only our ‘tent-cities’ are not as colorful nor are the people respected!
@@himanshunagarwal1019how do you clean dead bodies sewage water and god knows what else in that water
None of them look happy.
Amazing photos !
Some amazing photographs, magic
Can't believe the hate in this comment section
It’s sickening… the disrespectful things that are being said about someone else religion is really sad
All these events leading to MORE pollution, contamination, and exposure of environmental toxicants. If these people gathered to clean, create new policies, and mitigate further environmental destruction; that would be true humanity.
They clean Ganges daily
No they don't. If they did, it would not be in the condition it is in. Lots of sewage, chemical waste, and dead bodies. @@BbBb-iu9dh
The word pollution does not exist in Indian dictionary. Pollution for them mean holy.
Thank you for showing us.
I love india .I find it so fascinating its shrouded with mystery mysticism and lots of history. Its vibrant , its rich in heritage aswell as the history ... Theres just so much to see and do and learn about ... it's a magical experience and place to journey through ... one day I hope I can just go on a exhillarating trip to india and experience it for myself in person..
..
It must have been terrible scraping human waste off your shoes every ten feet, right?
Great video and one of the best videos of TH-cam and great pictures
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful video
You show astonishing courage and determination to attend such a festival and share your photographic testament about Mother Ganga. You understand Art as a manifestation of Life and Devotion. That makes you a pilgrim too, my friend. Many blessings, sir. From a humble truth-seeker in Canada.
Brilliant pictures.
I've been to Varanasi. It's one the most incredible places on this planet. India in general. It is the definition of living.
Polluted river
@@zainnunal7456 don’t act like Muslim countries aren’t dirty and gross either 😂
@Ragoen yes Afghanistan where women are treated like pigs and people are beheaded for fun. the beautiful country run by terrorists :)
@Goen Do u know that India has the second largest population of Muslims??.....
@Goen islam started in a desert..... how can someone be so dumb to claim this. Clean water 🤣
Sunan Abi Dawud 67
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ): Water is brought for you from the well of Buda'ah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything.
Abu Dawud said I heard Qutaibah b. Sa'id say: I asked the person in charge of the well of Bud'ah about the depth of the well. He replied: At most the water reaches pubes. Then I asked: Where does it reach when its level goes down ? He replied: Below the private part of the body.
Abu Dawud said: I measured the breadth of the well of Buda'ah with my sheet which I stretched over it. I them measured it with the hand. It measured six cubits in breadth. I then asked the man who opened the door of garden for me and admitted me to it: Has the condition of this well changed from what it had originally been in the past ? He replied: No. I saw the color of water in this well had changed.
Oozing dedication
So beautiful! 👍😎🇨🇦🙏🌍🕊
Amazing✌️🍻
Jai, Ganga! Never forget , while here in this Waking Dream, the I am , the invisible in you and ME bless the Ganges. The holy is the I am. The pollution is Form. Beyond form. Jai, Ganga ( icebath ). Aum
Impressive!
Good documentary
Dekh toh le pehle
@@SiddharthPandey2452 🤣 I know this channels documentaries r worthwatching
It is a really good documentary except for the ignorant comments posted by some
The most loved river in the world,but also the most polluted river in the world..I wish they would treat it the way they love it.. the dead bodies being thrown into the river has to stop..
So anyone can just go into it?
Jay ho ganga mata 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Loved this! Art is a true artist of people.
It's a nice video ! I am from Ethiopia
life was so beautiful before covid era, miss those days
they throw dead and use the water for washing, cleaning etc..how it become clean.?
Because religion says so.
Somehow I can't imagine going into that "water".
It’s sacred, and it gets much cleaner further up the ghats
@@greybands973 "Sacred"? That makes no sense. What makes it different than any other water? Other than varying degrees of pollution.
Its filled with dead bodies
@@AyanAli-py7ci i think you dont know anything
@@wthomas7955 you will not get any disease .
Amazing
The Ganges is the purifier, yet people are more impure today than ever before. Time to start using intelligence in religion.
india unique culture
In many bantu languages the root "-ganga" conveys healing, healer, witch-doctor, spirits,... Mganga in Swahili or muganga in my language means practitioner or doctor.
Yes, it is true. Ganga is the goddess of purity who used to live in heaven. Her water can remove any type of bad spell/mechanism attached with soul. That is why in Hinduism it is a normal practice that if some one dies then holy water of Ganga put in his mouth. So that his soul can be freed from any type of attachment and able to take new birth. Through this way, soul doesn't stuck in ghostly body.
I don't think that definition applies here.
India is a holy land for the hindu
So what if you accidentally drink water from that river why bathing?
Fascinating place. I can see the mysticism the allure.
They are right about the sun. Give thanks everyday. I agree.
Giving us a cycle.
Swimming in pollution is not holy...just goes to show how much religion defeats logic 👍🙊🙉🙈
You know nothing about ganges. That comment alone proves that.
@@sarahsmyth5383 it's dirty and polluted
@@NubiansNapata who cares of your views😏
@@NubiansNapata it's polluted but its not the condition 10 years before and mostly the pollutant are flowers,bottles, etc.
@@aniruddha3431 even human excrement
Beautiful visuals
"Spreading around like a bunch of peacock" wtf is he saying?💀😭😂
You were pretty brave standing in the River Ganges, the water is full of faecal matters, industrial effluent and dead bodies.
Would like to hear more about the people and cultural instead of how you take photos
actually some very nice still photography
Man, I have an assignment on this, due today . Can't believe I have to watch a 25 minute video for that.
The place germs were born and the mighty sturdy kings of germs were locate here without any hesitation.. Eeeeee 🥴
This picture is changing drastically! It's way cleaner from how it's used to be.
Its a sewer
@@AyanAli-py7ci We don't expect more than this from a terrorist influencer🤪 Not only us nowadays nobodies actually 👻
Proof😭😭😭?
@@tarekjb3414This is very old documentary, government already stop all factory sewar and waste they used to throw in ganga, some still do illegally but it is much cleaner than it was before.
Glad I have TH-cam premium so I can skip ⏭️ the commercials and watch this
❤️❤️❤️❤️
These English people analyse and narrate beautifully
Spirituality can make people do crazy things. Bathing in sewage water is one of them.
I know! 😫 ..the guy who opened his mouth & poured some in after the other guy earlier hawked a big lougie & spit in the water they were STANDING in 😫😫😫😷 Ready to tear my skin *OFF* after seeing that sh*t! Lol Beyond vomit-inducing, to say the least
you can have a bath with clean water after. don’t make fun of the most important thing in someone’s religion
True..... even drinking sewage water.....

@@greybands973the river is not sewer at all, you can store. Ganges water for years at your home, this water has healing powers❤, i myself is witness of it
One of the most pouluted 😢
river in the world.
So where is the public toilet???
The whole country is the toilet 😂
It is in the buildings
😇👍🏻
I want to be in the Ganges soon.
Hi this message is to all who thinks maa ganga is polluted....You people eat large amount of animal packed foods so it is difficult for you to understand but you have to understand....and I am a vegetarian....here it is....
Why do you call your mother.. mother? Just because she has given birth to you or she has nurtured you, in the same way Mother Ganga has nurtured hundreds of lives, she is the giver of life, Animals and plants have taken birth in their womb for centuries.
I don't care what people say about Mother Ganga, that its water has been polluted, but if we see the truth, this water has been immortal for centuries and for us it is Mother Ganga... 6 years ago I had brought Ganga water from Haridwar which is still as pure as it is.
We call Her Maaaaa Swargrohini Shiromani Ganga ji ....to agli baar soch kar bolna... Namaste 🙏🏼☘️😇
one admiration. Thank you very much for your work.
So this river is a mother of all indians what a river
Thank you God.
Art well done. Very esquisite. I love India because SHE is The Empire Of The Spirit. I was there in Varanasi in Feb 2019 and will return this Oct. Thank you for your devotion to this photo video documentary.
THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS DEFINITELY PUT BY SOMEONE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT INDIA !! SO INACCURATE
Who cares
Should be rock n roll music.😂
Th folk music not at all suits to this documentary
I think this is not a religion or these people have misunderstood it....may be this us something added to religion.
Religion should not be for so cheap things
Lord Krishna.
If they are drinking tea... they are not sadhus.
It’s Ganga known as Ganges by the west.
Not the other way around
Awesome, incredible india, truly it is 😂
The name of the city is Prayagraj not Allahabad
Wow! What a mess! I would actually pay NOT to go in that river!
It is sacred for them but they polute it like hell!! Hypocrisy, don’t you think?
yes, its so polluted, TRACKS already has a documentary about that
Holy Sewer 💀
Funny that i've seen a lots of docs from India's rivers... Until now i did not see one single foreigner bathing on those waters LOL😂
Because it’s filthy mate they would be very sick 🤒 if they bathed there..
@@chrisgoulding8677 I didn’t hear a single Hindu complain about the river. So, is it a problem?
@@majie1018 it’s filthy simple as that 😂 and the comment above clearly says he has not seen foreigners bathe there 🤦♂️
they wouldn’t understand the impact of Ganga ma
@@greybands973 They will never because they don't know that end of the world is near.
"Holi men" and "saints" as you call them, drinking tea and smoking pot. What's holi about that?
Pray with all your heart and with faith :)
Follow the short prayer.
LORD, Thank You for loving me, I confess I have sinned against You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I accept your free gift of eternal life and I will surrender my life to you. I accept you as my own Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins. From today, I choose to follow you in the Name of Jesus Amen .
Jesus died in the cross because romans were after him. Not because of me or my ancestorl. Lol
Really?
I love history but my favorite is Egyptian mythology ☺️❤️ the view is so beautiful
good scenary and beautiful shots but I'm not sure I'm digging the blah blah blah tho
Imagine taking your morning bath, then seeing your favorite aunts 1/2 burned body float past...Your a beautiful beautiful butterfly !
its not true its ban to leave half burned body.
Holy Dirt
in this city ones buddha roamed
This is a very old documentary.
The host is horrible what what beautiful scenes captured.
After burning the cadaver and then some part of the human didn't burn throw to this river and you call it holy what the hek
When you worship cows this is how life gets. Some people call it Holy it’s actually ignorance Swimming in fecal matter now that’s real bright... I will bathe in Lake Michigan .. The music here was the worst
Since I already got the Devil's Dust from being outside too long.
Now I need a hot shower 🚿
U know, to wash the impurities away
it's ganga
Virgin Mary dinked by donkey most sacred
Holy river but polluted too much dirty
Only in the past 26 years since 1998
Such strange beliefs these people have😖..all these people must have really bad B.O, half naked, under the blazing ☀️ sun!… Lord have mercy!
That could describe the Ganges or Mardi Gras. Same difference.
Sounds like you are familiar with smell
which planet alignment? Its a shame its all American and only images of India, all interpreted through Capitalist eyes. 'unaffected by our presence ' he says - yes because this is Spiritual, its gratitude, not to impress others!
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $505k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
I'm an amateur investor, i have 2 IRAs, I do not like the cookie cutter responses from Fidelity, Vanguard Schwab, etc 7%-9% year on average, how do you invest?
My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in. plus i don't do that by myself. i follow the trades of KAREN GAYE GRAY. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch/ I say because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.
@@danielrichter465 By following trades do you mean copying her trades, as is done in etoro? Are you giving her your money or the money stays in your account? I have heard about copying trades but have not looked into it but i have an idea of what it is.
Yeah exactly. My money stays right in my account. It's all programmatic. plus it's relatively much easier to set up and connect my accounts than creating a financial pan and drafting investment strategies myself. my account just mirrors her trades in realtime
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. Also have my interest set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. do not invest all your money in a particular sector. diversifying across different sectors is the way to go.
Two tips, we don't watch a documentary on India because we want to see you, and stringing together a lot of dramatic, two second shots of things, so quickly that we can't see any of them, is not exciting, it is just annoying.
Proud hindu
George Harrison loves ❤️ God.
Jaahil molvi and gandy saado.....these are considered respectble people.....so sad
The dirtiest river of the world
its not, now its preety clean.
Sadus wearing tong🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would like to visit that place I. My lifetime

You obviously don’t get it. Go somewhere else. 🕉
Look around you
If religion makes people stupid, and chaos, you should quit
Making fake subscribers 😂
