      I loved him to. He is aware of taking care of and loving everything in this universe. I also liked when he took Harald to the banks of the Ganga where the families were cremating there loved ones and sending them off into the spirit world. He was very respectful and put his hands together in prayer position. If I were ever to visit India I would love to meet him and have him show me around.

    It is one of the two cremation Ghats. Hindus from different places bring the dead bodies of their relatives to the Harishchandra Ghat for cremation. In Hindu mythology it is believed that if a person is cremated at the Harishchandra Ghat, that person gets salvation or moksha.
    Ganga Aarti is perhaps the most important event related to the holy river. It involves the chanting of hymns, fire, flower, and more. The idea is to show gratitude and respect to the river, and ask for its blessings.

These are just some popular examples but he has made countless funny conversations or meaningful relationships. Anyway if you see some improvement then that's how it is. Probably from the last time he visited India long back there are some changes for sure.😊

    Paan is basically a mouth freshener / palette cleanser after a meal - it's basically the Indian after dinner mint LOL.

It's an acquired taste like beer, and if you had it as a kid, you crave it when you come across it freshly made. As for the lady outside the hotel speaking to you, I couldn't make out exactly what she said, but I think she was telling you to keep your camera with you, and not let anyone try to take anything from you - I think she was just trying to give you safety advice in general given some of the con artists / touts in the area.

    I went to India in 1997 and was amazing. Really loved the Indian ringneck birds 🐦 flying, the diversity, the food, the temples, and the fact that you could wear only a shirt in heavy rain, coconut palms 🌴 , and the street vendors are stil the way i remember them to be. Watching these videos is like a travel journey back to India. There's something about India, which is magical and different, and I will certainly visit India again.

      Not a player read the scriptures first. He saved the lives of those 11000 and married just to save their reputation. Radha was his love. But he got seperated and married rukmani

      @@Shishtiii bro they are foreigners most of the time they don't know this scripture he was just being playing full he doesn't want disrespectful or something he is just joking around and just because he called Krishna playboy doesn't mean we don't know the truth or Krishnas value will go down he just came there enjoy the vibe that all
      yes there people who want disrespect Krishna by saying he is a playboy but this situation is different they are against this guy who was just told about Krishna having 1608 wives so he was just giving an opinion on it that all it not he heard a full story and still called Krishna playboy this guy was at least open-minded about Hinduism and respected it

    There goes Heraldo Iron Stomach, the most notorious member of the Norse East India Company. We have thrown everything we have at him: street food in the summer heat, bathing in the Ganga, desi daru.
    And yet his stomach remains unfazed. Not a single sign of Delhi belly.
    Perhaps it is time we lay down our weapons at his feet and recognize our new king. All hail Heraldo Iron Stomach!

      It would take immense courage to swim in the river. Kashi is the bridge between life and death. But it is wild, where you will see fake spiritualists asking for alms... where as city ppl might have to drop their ego... dissapointing and eye opening... at the same time. Like every stark contrast of India
