Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Gabriel takes us to a different point in time when hinduism was deeply ingrained in the ethos of India. Perhaps it is his aura,or his knowledge and the manner in which he articulates it. Thank you for the amazing six weeks in India❤
You've gotta win the award for most days of a year spent in travel. Not that such an award exists, jusssst sayin u won it
Thanx fer the work
Another Brilliant Coverage of Magical, traditional, Classical & Colourful life of these interior towns & cities of Incredible India. There is always so much happening.. This is One of the best series, I have ever seen.
Completely in agreement. Well said. 🔱
the entire trip has been simply amazing.
Loved every one of the videos. Mandu and Ladakh were my favourites. Gabriel really "takes you there".
Looking forward to new adventures. Enjoy all your videos.safe trip
I love how you upload videos everyday for us,thank you Gabriel from Minnesota
this India series has been absolutely great
Another great vid, thanks Gabriel, you are the eyes and ears of thousands of subscribers. Thank you bud. When are you going to rest and put your feet up back home ? You deserve to rest man! 😊😊😊
4:19 That was a close call!
There’s something about India … so much more and it runs so deep .. can’t put it into words ❤
That bridge and the hills around were somewhat giving off Rishikesh vibes.
Yes, definitely similar, except almost no foreign travelers in Omkareshwar.
How sharp a contrast between the desert landscape & the many vibrant colors of the market, reminiscent of the myriad of local spices! Says a lot about the Indian culture 😊. A great walk as always, thank you!
Dear Gabriel - the Narmada is very sacred to many, and your endeavor is deeply meaningful.
The Narmada hydroelectric project has seen a resistance movement which is ongoing for some 30 years. Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save the Narmada Movement). Only 2 months ago the raised water levels inundated villages downstream...this is an ongoing nightmare for the people.
Eyesore indeed, and more...
Wow, crazy.
Gabriel thamks for this great impession of the Holy Town of Omkareshwar. Before I watched this i've watched a video from luxury cars in London and teh difference couldn't have been bigger!
Another place to explore, interesting island, those monkeys 🐒 omg lol, you are brave 👏 i would have passed
only with an Indian person and with my eyes closed.
Hello Gabriel
You had a lot of fun in India 👍
A bit of explanation to the words Maheshwar and Omkareshwar....
God in sanskrit means Eshwar
The great one means Maha.
So Maheshwar means The Great God.
Omkar means Om sound.
And hence Omkareshwar means God of Om sound. Lord Shiva is referred to as Omkareshwar.
Looking forward to your new adventures in a new country.....
And Kar?
@@angelawhitehead6187 "Kar" comes from the word Aakar, meaning 'form'
In this context, it means the deity having the form of Om. Lord Ganesha (Son of Lord Shiva) is also referred to as Omkara. But Omkareshwar is another name for Lord Shiva.
Thank you for the reply
@@angelawhitehead6187 my pleasure....
Great video, Gabe. We just arrived in Ahmedabad and are loving it so far, a huge contrast to Varanasi in terms of traffic, pollution etc and we’re excited to explore. Ate at the night market yesterday evening, which was epic.
The monkey-goat interaction reminds me that those interspecies relationships are not always so benign. On Sandwip Island in Bangladesh I stayed at an inn where there was a monkey chained to a tree in the courtyard. The oppressed had become an oppressor, as he had somehow grabbed a cat and was using the poor animal for his gratification. Disturbing!
Sounds interesting, enjoy. Where else are you going in Gujarat?
WOW!!! 🐵 Those monkeys look scary!!! 😨 Reminds me of the Wizard of Oz!!! 😂
You sure have picked up a lot of information in your travels. I met a few people that taught me a little. And you are teaching me more and reminding me of those I have met through the years. Overall, your video was really good for me today. Thank you.
Amazing, again! Thanks so much Gabriel.
This has been an incredible 6 week adventure. I have WATCHED and LOVED every single video you have posted from this series. Some I have watched more than once. An amazing variety of videos to showcase everything that India has to offer. I’m curious about where you’re headed next. It’s probably a very slim chance, but I’m secretly hoping for Nepal?!? Wherever you go, safe travels and thank you as always for this awesome and AMAZING travel channel! ❤️🩷❤️
Awesome, glad to hear it. Arrived in my next country, I think you won't be disappointed.
Hi Gabriel, I'm in Ujjain, following your earlier footsteps. Been here a few days arriving in time to catch the Shiva Festival... totally amazing of course! Heading to Omkareshwar tomorrow so just refreshing myself here... Thanks for being my guide...it looks like more Incredible India coming! Best wishes to you. 🙏🏻
That's awesome, enjoy incredible India. ✌️👊
Them street monkeys chilling out on the path was absolutely awesome. No monkeying around there. 😂 no way… monkeys and goats sharing dinner😮 this is a place where I need to be right now. ❤
Visit Jabalpur too
Hi Gabriel, a wonderful trip really getting into seeing more every time you visit and seeing things you haven't seen and people pointing out what you should see. I bet since you first visited India it has grown immensely and changed proportionally all over the country it must be one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. India has a very diverse culture a blending of past and present with many advances as the country changes and grows exponentially. A beautiful and rewarding place with boundless energy and excitement.
Great enjoyable video Gabe Safe travels again
Mr Gabriel, the signs (carved in red sand stone) which you saw all along Parikrama Path (Circumambulation way) contain verses of "Holy Gita", sacred book of Hindus
12:52 The Narmada Parikrama is a 3,500 km walk around the entire length of the river
17:02 The walk is done with the river on the right
17:55 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 5, 6, 7. The last one being the most famous in the present time Krishna says to Arjuna ""Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, at that time I manifest myself on earth.
The India series has been amazing. Cheers! I'm guessing you're in Sri Lanka now? ❤
Very infected with your love to India,I take it!👍
I went here around 5 years back, somehow it looks cleaner than what I remember..!!
Sending some California love your way, thanks for the great content.❤
Back in 2012, I stayed a couple of weeks at the anandamayii ma ashram on the island of omkareshwar. Its an authentic place indeed, though the massive dam on narmada is a doozie. I remember bang lassie being sold on the mainland side of town and the only other western traveler was a russian lady with an x-visa living in India with a 100 dollar allowance from her relatives.
Nice
Nice video of Omkareshwar. You are leaving India soon Gabriel. You may be going back to America as Christmas is around the corner and you want to be with your family. Hope you come back soon to India to explore new places
Hello Gabe, if you are reading this your india videos are just mind blowing. Just want to say, thank you so much for this amazing content that you keep bringing for us.
And Just a bit curious to know have you been to Odisha state yet?
No, I haven't been there yet. ✌️
Odisha is where Konark - that I mentioned in my other post - is . If you get chance , do the Puri -> Konark -> Bhubaneshwar triangle - you will not regret it. Bhubaneshwar is well connected by air to most large cities.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosthen you should definitely go there as there is a lot of ancient temples there which are worth visiting 😊
I think those people with grains were actually "pilgrims". they basically go around the river Narmada. starting from where the river started and going where the river ends in the sea. they don't take anything with them, so they solicit for food.
You must visit the State of Odisha, ancient temples , hills, waterfalls...a new state in India to explore.
👍👍👍
😊😊😊❤🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
Oh no! Don't leave India! There's so much more! And you do the best travel videos of India!!! Get together with Jesse St Louis!!!
We were in touch, plans didn't coordinate. It was tough to leave but I'm pretty happy with where I am now.
Do the people bathe in their clothing Gabe? Is this the only place they can and is there sewage in the water? The children are so friendly and the monkeys pretty much take over the place. It must be a tough existence for many. Ty for the adventure
Awesome india vlog enjoyed each and every episode gaby hope we can catch up anytime soon.
Grand Review video please
Sri Lanka?
Hydro Electric Nirvana?
have you been to Khajuraho?
Yes: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Khajuraho
6 weeks is too little time for India, you need few months each visit. Have a look at Orchha in MP, looks beautiful. The most interesting ones are the fort with a city in it and exquisitely carved marble Jain temples, Himalayas, Ladakh, and all places you showed in Rajasthan, MP. Lets say all places were interesting.
I've been to Orchha several times: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Orchha
Love walking bare feet, too. I think you should come back and rediscover the beautiful mountains of California.
Agree: th-cam.com/video/qVbMF71ZLVA/w-d-xo.html
Oh wow! You’re really doing the interior india scene eh gabe? How lovely. How’s the accommodation scene? Please cover that as much as you can. It’ll help us plan. Thank you Gabe
❤❤❤
Next time visit Karnataka and Kerala shrines and temples. Its a very different feel and vibe.
In Kerala especially during Festivals like Vishu, Onam.
Another unknown kept secret is "Theyyam" Temple artform in Kerala, you can search it up.
In Karnataka dont miss out Hoysaleswara Temple, Chennakeshava Temples etc
Very holy places
Watching this from my hotel room in Corfu town in that square where you had your 'big and expensive' meal two years ago! 😁
Very cool, lucky you, enjoy amazing Greece. ✌️😎
❤️👍❤️
The guy was asking whether you were hungry and wanted to eat...and that is where you gave your best answer..."No Hindi.."..."Bhojan (pronounced Voajan) is eating in Hindi and "Bhoj" ...pronounced "Voaj" means "Food"....
I see, good to know.
The real deal again and again. 🙏🔱
so funny all the monkeys and goats walking along the wall ,they act like they're human kids 🤣
17 o4 is an ashram.
😊
Thank you 😀
First 🥇
18.05 minute those are verses from Bhagavad gita
Thanks.
Not a single person on bike wearing helmet.
It's city road, Main road is different, their police will earn huge money if you don't wear helmet
18:01 bhagwadgita shloka (Sanskrit) in yellow coloured text, and it's meaning in Hindi underneath it.
Gabe just wanted to ask, out of all the countries you have visited, in which one would you definitely not go back like ever?
And thank you. 😃
I don't know about Gabe, but I avoid going into or through USA due to its tyrant government and street crimes.
@@AlwaysAwesome001 you are welcome
@@Anonymous------
☝️☝️
Goobers are so cute. 🤣
@@Anonymous------ fair enough
‘NAHI Hindi.’ 😂 that was cute, when they see an energy and the energy can’t speak the language! They get perplexed… ‘Hindu mythology,’ has ‘stories’ of Vishnu and sometimes Shiva taking the other’s ‘ruup’ face:avatar and doing mischievous 😏 thangs, the very reason when Shiva’s energy can get fire against Vishnu’s because Vishnu be crazy mischievous…
That guy in the starting of the videohe wanted you to eat, ‘bhojan.’ I know quite a few who carry RH- blood 😬
Om is the sound of creation and destruction with sustenance in the middle I.e trinity of creation sustenance and destruction, the sound/ vibration of GOD. Jyotirlinga: light emitting ‘phallus/lingam,’ the eminence of creation.
You’re into Greek/egyptian ‘mythology,’ so it is like ‘Osiris’ 😊 I am writing ‘heavily controversial’ stuff for people care so I should write, IMO.
15:54 that music reminded me of the Ark of the covenant 😉 Look into ‘dewali puja’ of the warrior clans of Himalayan foothills 🐐😏
Certain people carry the energy of the ark in their body, there are even ‘certain’ ‘woman,’ who carry the energy of GOD 😏😉😇, the Himalayas are quite the place , of course you know better, you’ve trekked/scaled mountains there.
Cheers!
Thank you for this video.
🔱✌️⛰️🌊 ‘thick hai’ 😅
My guess is Indonesia
Gabriel - I have to say it took a lot of courage for you to walk past that army of monkeys 🙂
The writings on the signs appear to be verses from the Bhagwad Gita - at least I could recognize one of those - not sure they have verses from other scriptures as well - but basically they are Sanskrit verses from various Hindu scriptures.
I almost said "Where are the temples ! " - but I see you have a follow on video coming .
I see, that makes sense.
"What do these signs mean?" Do you not use Google Translate? Open app, select camera, choose languages from/to, point and you get an autotranslation on your screen. Shri Bhagwan speaks
Vyatitani janmani tav charjun in bahuni. Tanyaham Veda Sarvaani Na Tvam Veth Parantap.
But Shri Krishna Maharaj said, O Arjun. You and I have had many births, but we are sorry. He doesn't know them all and I know them.
अजोपि सन्न्व्यात्मा भूतानामिश्वरोपि सं. Prakriti Swamadhisthaya Sambhavamyatmamayya. 6
My birth is not like that of natural humans, I am indestructible, despite being unborn and despite being the God of ghosts and creatures, I appear through Yogamaya after subduing my nature

🤔 Could it be true?
Got it by default, since the first two comments didn't claim it. Better than nothin'.

Get a Mink Hat, then You are
Fureigner.
the pic you showed of a monkey with big teeth was scary, i'll admit it.
A comment suggesting doing a monkey compilation video is not allowed? Seriously?
I guess I am just genuinely a grumpy person, but every time I see one of those hustlers trying to sell Gabriel something, I yell at the screen for them to leave him alone. Like I expect them to hear me. They are relentless. I know they are trying to support their families but take No for an answer.
I hate monkeys...
Monkeys didn’t do robbery on ur camera huh😂
gabe, I hope you are not making up these names and places. 😂
It was so lovely till they put up that massive hideous concrete bridge. Ruined its beauty.so sad.
Nice
