26:00 Thats the great vedic scholar of Advaita Vedanta !! Adi Shankara. I thought you knew it . He is THE commenter on principal Upanishads and is revered . Very rare to find his statute.The another one is at Kedarnath and is very recent and magnificent. Adi Shakara was born in Kerala and travelled all India and died in Kedarnath. His teachings and writings are exhaustive.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos if you get a chance, there is another temple beach town called Murdeshwar maybe about 70-80 kms south of Gokarna. You can also get to Jog Falls, one of the most impressive waterfalls in India not far from Gokarna or Murudeshwat. You should check them out if you haven’t already been there and Jog Falls is definitely worth a trip and it’s quite spectacular. Murideshwar has a huge Shiva statue and I think it’s a modern temple but the beaches are pretty good.
Gabriel does not have a lazy bone in his body. He is even sharing with us during his “break”, does not want us followers to miss out. What a great guy! 😊❤
Sankaracharya was a great hindu teacher/philosopher. He has written explanations of main hindu scriptures and started monastic orders. He was born is kerala and died in Kedarnath in uttakhand as per the legands
Gabriel, where ever you go you are very respectful of religious practices supported by the local population. That's part of why I support your you tube channel. As a liberal hindu(though I don't eat beef) I feel very peaceful thru your travels to sacred holy sites and temples. Thanks very much. Toronto Canada.
A similar but bigger chariot at Puri, Orissa that carries the god Jagannath is the origin of the English word Juggernaut! Once it starts moving it's hard to stop and will crush anything/anyone that comes in the way.
Hey! Thanks again for filming my shiva mural and woman in sari mural I did over 5 years ago in Gokarna! That place holds a special place in my heart! Hope to come back soon. Can’t believe the murals are still intact.
You should be the mystic traveller 🙂, love your camera work and your infusion of musical elements into the intro portion of the video, seems very theatrical.
Oh man oh man, that beautiful Bay at 9 min is like something from a vivd dream I once had.. with the beautiful jungle / trees behind it. Simply stunning. Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
The word 'Hotel' rolls off the Indian tongue much easier than the French word Restaurant which is pretty much impossible for the average Indian to say.
Kerala.. and most of costal karnataka reemerged from ocean, as southern india was attached with madagascar before india splitup amd started northern journey, so this land west of westen ghats gradually came up from ocean and due to deposits runing west from western ghats
Now you are talking about Geological history. The process of India's separation from Madagascar first began 88 million years ago,Yes India first separated .Geologist call that landmass as" Insular India" which is assumed to have come from one unified land called Gondwana
It was goddess Saraswati(she is the goddess of music art and knowledge) who plays a Veena and rides a swan... thanks for showing us the beautiful Gokarna which many of us Indians haven't seen 😊
Right on Gabriel 🤙 3 days in Kolkata has left me exhausted and enthralled. Time to get out and visit the Himalaya again, thanks for throwing out some great travel ideas in this bewildering nation 😆✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideos To beat the summer heat, you don't have to go all the way up north to the Himalayas. There are some cool hill stations in Southern India.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosthere are also some hill stations in Karnataka itself eg Chikmagalur, Sakleshpur, Agumbe, Madikeri (Coorg). These places are not as popular as Ooty, Munnar etc. but you might like them since you prefer more offbeat places.
I love the spiritual feel found everywhere and how colorful all the temples and shrines are and the calm of the people and even animals. I always learn so much and feel connected to everything. Peace, Gabriel!
Gabe - As a long-time viewer, I hope you are thinking of your mental health; all the reasons that you indicated a desire to take a break from the stress of always being on call to post videos has not been addressed in the 10 days since you told your viewers of that desire. We will still be here after a real break as well. Respectively.
I love this one Gabe. Fascinating to see the town post Shivaratri, looks so different, quieter, yet still so much to see. My favourite coastal town and beaches so far... I'll rewatch this many times when back in Scotland. Namaste 🙏🏻 Safe travels!
In the beginning of the video, it's a school which has an idol of Goddess Saraswati in the entrance . Goddess Saraswati is worshipped as Goddess of knowledge, music and arts . Another idol is of Shankaracharya who was a saint or Guru / preacher and a messenger of God Shiva .
I really like your travel vlogs because you are respectful to the people of the countries, you are visiting. Some other youtube travellers seem so arrogant.
I'm from Meghalaya, North-East India and I love South Indian cities and villages especially the coast. How I want to travel to Gokarna, Puducherry, Andhra and Kerala as these are the areas/states I've never been to. Just travelling to these places via your videos so thank you :)
Hi Gabriel, have you ever been to Patagonia? That is certainly an interesting and epic trip. Both the Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia are breathtaking. The Perito Moreno Glaciers and El Chalten are places you should check out just to get out of the same routine countries. Best regards and safe travels 🥾✈️
An excellent locale due to its relative empty streets but scenic historical tone for experimenting with cinematic footage through traveler gimbals etcetera.
Gabriel, you’re the best TH-camr on the platform. You seem like a such a down to earth dude. Someone I’d love to have a beer with. Binge watching your India vlogs in preparation for my first trip to india. You deserve all the happiness in the world brother. Peace from Scotland, ✌🏻
Hello Gabriel; tell me is the food generally very spicy 🥵 🌶️? What are your recommendations to stay safe with food 🥘 while traveling India 🇮🇳? Thank you ☺️
hi Gabriel, the chariot you pointed out has often been depicted as a spacecraft known as Vimana, which had the force to destroy cities example Mohenjo Daro and Harappa believe to be destroyed by nuclear blasts. The depiction of animals in Indian culture is depicted as flying crafts that the gods traveled on and wheeled great power.
Puranas have various stories created at later stage by public facing teachers and often folk ones . Puranas are lowest level of explanation of some complicated vedic stuff and often had been corrupted . Vedic knowlegeabale people do not take puranas so seriously as it is meant for common people busy in daily routine.
Hey thanks again bro, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to a beer as soon as I find one. I left Gokarna and am now in the interior, might be hard to find one here but you never know.
Shree Shakti is a small and clean restaurant, in all respect the best restaurant in Gokarna, unfortunalety you found it closed due the season...Pai restaurant is popular and I've eaten there several times until I saw a big rat coming out of the kitchen... and I don't think he was an employee, he wasn't even wearing the kitchen apron
That towel is actually part of the traditional attire in South India and it has different names in different South Indian languages. Many temples in South india make it compulsory for men to wear this traditional attire to be allowed inside.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I guess that's mostly because Gabe has not been posting regular video from last 2 weeks and you also have started watched so much of other content from last few days that those videos are taking priority in your feed.
Is it a god or a goddess???? Answer to that is whatever, it's ridiculous superstitions. That's what it is. No more no less and it will be same thing next time. Only different location.
@@mathieutallard6328 Your views appears to be based on your understanding of Abrahamic faiths or tribal concepts. Your ignorance is understandable. Recognizing forces that shape our world and respecting them is not ignorance. That is true wisdom
Feels like another small mountain town.. and the locals never give you a second glance even though you aren't a local. Says so much about the people. Peaceful! Another great deal on a hotel!👍
You can see the amazing beaches of Gokarna in my other video: th-cam.com/video/F8kByjms4RY/w-d-xo.html

I knew Jagannath sounded like juggernaut but never looked it up
Saraswati is the goddess shown playing a veena.
Great to be treated to another video!
What a spiritually rich place... I always appreciate the respect you have when showing us special places like this. Quite unique... Thanks !

That temple at the end of the video
And you walking bare foot towards it
For me that was priceless ❤

Enchanting place ☀️🙏🎵🎺🌴
Thanks for another good one Gabriel, I am starting to long so much for India now, but I have to fix my health first. 🙂.

Kerala.. and most of costal karnataka reemerged from ocean, as southern india was attached with madagascar before india splitup amd started northern journey, so this land west of westen ghats gradually came up from ocean and due to deposits runing west from western ghats

Nice video bro... Sankracharya was an saint.....
Bravo, Bravo!!
The tank is for people to bathe in before entering the temple. Also basic eateries are called dhabas in the north of India, and hotels in the south.

Hi Wilfredo, there you are! What part of India that you have visited you liked the most and why?
Your Gokarna Videos are cool. Keep them coming please.
Interesting @Gabrielthetraveler that you are freqienting lord shiva's abobe like Himalayas and Gokarna?
@26:00 That is Sri Shakaracharya, a renowned advaita saint.
ITS ALWAYS NICE
Thanks Gabriel, for showing all the temples and explaining the history....
Gabriel welcome to kerala next🌴
At the beginning of video (within the first 5 minutes) you say "It's the beginning of February". Did you mean the beginning of "March"?
You're right, beginning of March.
Prema restaurant used to be the best in town, if it stil exists. It does apparently, at 25:18 in your video
So much for taking a break eh? 😉
My friend always very very best..
We love India, we've shared lots of videos. 💌
Go to Bangalore next maybe. It's 3k feet elevation.
Gabriel Traveler. please do travel south of coastal KARNATAKA. we KANNADA people eagerly
waiting to see through in your videos
Time for some KingFisher Beer's !! Cheers!!

how many times you have been to gokarna ?
1999, 2011, 2013, 2017 and 2023.

Those south and east Asian jungle vibes are unmatched in the world
india is multicultural there are mosq church temple nice good
21:03 Tulsi (Holy Basil) at the temple. Medicinal plant.
👍😁

You say, ' Not appropriately dressed ' as I see men walking around with nothing but a towel wrapped around their midsection.
Solid point. It's a little confusing.
That towel is actually part of the traditional attire in South India and it has different names in different South Indian languages. Many temples in South india make it compulsory for men to wear this traditional attire to be allowed inside.
