  • I met Ray a couple of months back near Almora when I was there to make a film. The very moment we started having our conversation, I was drawn into every word he said. It was fascinating to just stand and listen to the things he said and the way he said them. In this video, he talks about his experiences over the last 40 years - how he met Sachin Tendulkar, his experience on his first day in Varanasi, how he used to find Delhi a few decades ago, how he has never seen anyone lose their mind with him or his wife Dianne. #humancondition #ethereal

    I fell in love with Bharat 🇮🇳 too. I was there for the first time in 2019. I wanna go back this 2021. I was in Mumbai, Bhubaneswar, Jagannath Puri, Bodhgaya, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Delhi, Rishikesh, Bhalyani and Gargi villages in Himachal Pradesh and in Chandigarh. I loved and still love it all. I love the old as well as the modern though I greatly prefer the village or small town life.y heart ❤️ is still on India 🇮🇳 though I'm in COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 at the moment. I shall return this September to be reunited with my beloved Bharat 🇮🇳 and stay there. Namaskar. This story the man is telling is the story we all share with different variations but the essence is the same, The Love For India 🇮🇳.

    So beautiful...so emotional! If I may embellish, India 🇮🇳 is full of amazing, full of life, I have been around the world but nothing...NOTHING... can even come close to India’s rich heritage and richness of culture. I am having a LOVE affair with India 🇮🇳 right now! Since I discovered Sanatana Dharma, Vedic literature...the scientific essence of everything Hindutva and ancient texts...its taken over me completely, I am much happier and kinder individual. Modern India 🇮🇳 must remain rooted in its ancient wisdom and vedas, upnishads. You lucky Indians are sitting on a treasure trove YET ignoring it...LOVE YOU INDIA 🇮🇳 from your friend in Minneapolis, MN, USA 🇺🇸

      Although the claim of being spiritual but not religious seems to annoy believers and atheists equally, separating spirituality from religion is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It is to assert two important truths simultaneously: Our world is dangerously riven by religious doctrines that all educated people should condemn, and yet there is more to understanding the human condition than science and secular culture generally admit.

      You should be happy that a Canadian is comparing an Indian city to a modern presumably westernised city. Development and infrastructure give peace and prosperity especially on a large scale, along with spirituality. You need to try to engulf the two more.

    • @amitbarla591
      @amitbarla591 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I have to agree with you on that. But one thing that's happening is that many Indians are lead into believing that Westernized society and their practices and is presumably cool and they are adopting it gradually. Now what's happening is our own culture is dying.

    I started traveling in India in 1986, and have been back three more times. I have traveled from Mumbai to Nepal, Chennai to Mumbai, Chennai to Kolkata, and the Seven Sisters. In total, it's been over a year. My last trip was in 2018. I can tell you things have changed a lot. Some for the worse, but mostly for the better. It used to be rough and now it is cake. I am happy to see Indians beginning to enjoy the wealth of the world that others have had for so long. No matter the changes, India is a wonderful place to travel for a variety of reasons, but the most important reason is that the people are really some of the best.

      And about our country...why it's special - because our forefathers have built it and built it over more than few thousand years since our civilization has started. Certainly all those efforts makes it look good. Now it's upon our shoulders and coming generations to maintain it in its same beauty.

    I was in India twice in the early and middle 1970's. The first time was when I was in the US Peace Corps and living in a village (with no electricity and only one combustion engine on a motorbike). That time was seven months. I had to leave because I seemed to be unable to beat getting dysentery over and over. I returned to India on my own a couple of years later. That was in 1974 I think. I wanted to spend time in Nepal that time and did. After Nepal I was back in Delhi staying at the house of an upper middle class family. I was interested in possibly getting a teaching job, and the son in the family was a graduate of Lawrence Academy in Shimla. He invited me to a dinner party for Lawrence graduates where I would meet the headmaster of the school. The dinner party was at the Delhi house of the Maharaja of Jindh, who was a young man, married with children. The dinner party was fascinating. The most interesting things about it were the older Delhi matrons and the young hotshot Sikhs as well as the dinner spread which consisted of easily fifty different dishes. It was the best Indian food I had ever tasted. I haven't been back to India since 1954 but now I feel strongly drawn back to Mother India.

    This wasn't about India. It was a man's description of his inner most desires and simple pleasures of life. I guess...that's how, Ernest Hemingway, Jk rowling , rudyard kipling and so many other literary geniuses made those novels of life and it's beautiful meanings.... I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

    Somehow felt the video compelles you to ask yourself, the fundamental questions of life and existence. To find that string of inner calling among thousands of strings of chaos and distraction. And that is a seeking, one must endeavor to go after, sooner or later!

I would love to integrate with the west but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to adhere to their culture, rituals and way of living. Integration is basically acceptance and adapting to the people of the west, not following them to prove your integration.
