3:16 Saraswati is not a mythical river it was actually there from Himalayas to Arabian Sea at the kutch Gujarat. because of gradual lack of monsoon it stopped going to sea and died around 1500 BCE. but even today some portion of it still exists in North India. it's called Ghaggar-Hakra River. in today's time by Google Earth can see a dry riverbed in the western India. so this falsehood of mythical written by western historians are proving to be false. all things cannot be found in India right now they have labelled as mythical. but in Rig Veda it clearly mentions Saraswati was even bigger wider river than Indus. other two rivers Ganga, Jamuna are they are still there. so how can we third one be myth?

Ujjain is a religious town. An ancient one that has somehow retained its original name - like some of the other ones - Kashi, Rajgir, Kannauj and Gaya. The perfumes of Ujjain would go to Rome, Constantinople, Damascus and Alexandria. Btw, ‘Spiritual’ is not synonymous with ‘religious’. Especially if you consider that what you are experiencing in Ujjain is the orthopraxy side of Sanatan, whereas Vedanta is the ‘spiritual’ side of Sanatan. Also, ‘Ganges’ is what foreigners call Ganga, the most holy of all Indian rivers. It’s good practise to call it ‘Ganga ji’ - you’ll get brownie points from the locals 🙂

@@goostrey4210 Vedic and Tantric are incorrect buckets to assign. Vedic and non-Vedic are meaningful ones to assign, or Astik and Nastik, to give their Sanskrit terms. Hindu Tantra is derived from Shaivism and Shaktism (female principle). Buddhist Tantra is derived from this Tantra and early Kashmiri Mahayana. It got its own name later on - Vajrayana. I was differentiating between orthopraxy and Vedantism; in other words, primacy of rituals versus primacy of conceptual imagery of the divine. It’s a continuum. ‘Vedic’ starts with orthopraxy and tapers to vedantism, without any of the nodes getting extinguished. After that there are admixtures from the Puranic era and even Nastik thoughts - like Vajrayana. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Ujjayini used to be a very important city in the Malwa region of India. It even briefly served as the capital of the Gupta and Pratihara Empires. It also was a very important provincial city during the Mauryan Empire. The City had a population of around 80,000 to 100,000 by the 12th century and this was after Maharaja Bhoja shifted the Paramara Kingdom capital to Dharanagara. The city was a religious and educational hub, with its observatory being very famous prior to the city's destruction during the Turkic invasions.

Yes its very ancient and you forgot to mention that renowned ancient astronomers like Brahmagupta and Bhaskaracharya conducted many of their seminal astronomical studies in Ujjain. The city's astronomical significance is often cited in various ancient Indian texts. Brahmagupta was one of the first to use zero as a number because of which numeral system was developed. Bhaskara's major work consists of four sections covering arithmetic, algebra, the mathematics of the planets, and spheres.

This is the summary of what I found out about the many Vishnu avatars compared with Shiva: “… the great sage Bhrigu, was angered when he returned to his hermitage, and cursed Vishnu for his sin of woman-slaughter, saying that he would have to take countless avatars on earth to suffer for this act.” If you google the battle between devas and asuras you can find the longer story. It’s a really interesting read. I believe the 5-faced Hanuman is the most powerful Hanuman because it includes all his forms. Something like that. LOVED this video!

28:21 You are right there are NO incarnations/avatars for Shiva and Brahma. Brahma actually is less revered although he embodies concept of creation. You know there is very temple and there is one in Pushkar which you visited. Shiva on the other hand is the most revered across all India because he embodies concept of Moksha which is ultimate goal of living beings according to Vedic texts . Vishnu embodies concept of sustenance is and is more close to people and so we great human beings who did great for humanity ultimately revered as avatars of Vishnu- Krishna [who showed the path of righteousness war and peace. But in this act of goodness,even he was not spared from curse and his life ended due to accidental hit.The Mahabharata narrates that, towards the end of his life, Krishna was meditating in a forest when a hunter, mistaking his partly visible foot for a deer, accidentally shot him with an arrow. This arrow struck the same celestial iron piece, which was the only vulnerable part of Krishna's body. Thus, Krishna's death is portrayed as the fulfillment of the sage's curse and the divine plan. Rama on the other hand is revered for his unyielding adherence to dharma (duty, righteousness, and moral order) despite facing numerous trials and tribulations.In certain regional or folk traditions, there are narratives about the end of Rama's earthly life, which may include his departure from the world through water, often interpreted as a form of Samadhi or leaving his mortal form. His life is full of personal sufferings only to do good to people despite being king and luxury. In some folk traditions, there are narratives about the end of Rama's earthly life, which may include his departure from the world through water, often interpreted as a form of Samadhi or leaving his mortal form. apoignant aspect of Rama's story is his treatment of his wife, Sita. To uphold his duty as king and address the doubts raised by his subjects, Rama makes the agonizing decision to send Sita into exile (this is after coming back to Ayodhya), despite her proven innocence. This decision, rooted in Rama's commitment to his responsibilities as a ruler, brings immense personal sorrow.In some interpretations[ I also believe this ], it is believed that the sorrow and guilt over this decision, coupled with Sita's own tragic fate - her eventual departure from the world - could have deeply affected Rama. This perspective suggests that Rama's own end, often portrayed as him walking into the river and disappearing, was a culmination of his profound regret and a testament to the tragic elements of his life story. These narratives emphasize the complex interplay of duty, personal sacrifice, and the inevitable consequences of decisions made in the pursuit of righteousness. Budhha is also same story of sacrifice . In general, people valued sacrifice and noble behavior and character. But in vedic texts, concept is more deeper and abstract , so there are many Brahma ,Vishnu,Mahesh looking after parallel universes[s] signifying that these are just embodiment of aspects of life while the ultimate reality is Brahaman who is incomprehensible. It is the singular, eternal principle that underlies and transcends all phenomena and manifestations in the universe[s]

For a relaxed visit, India(as a whole) is not a place unless you are staying in some resorts. Not many tourists? Foreigner Yes but domestic tourist numbers are off the charts(everyone in India knows this city). The daily average visit to the temple is 100000 and on weekends it's around 200000. With that amount of tourism, "begging" will always be there because it's a religious place(just like Varanasi, Haridwar, etc.) and people going there usually give money or other things. It's a great business model. Indian gov(center+state) does everything in their capacity for poor people(from free houses to free food to literally most things). Most major temples in India offer food free of cost even this temple offers food free of cost every day. So, in theory, they shouldn't be begging as it is a criminal offense in India but the Indian gov has bigger priorities than apprehending a few harmless people for asking for chump change. For this to change, it will take decades.

I guess it's okay to eat prasaad. Some portion of it is offered to God and the rest of it is for serving to the people. So, when people go to this religious places they often buy the prasaad from near the temple areas, and when they go back home it is given to children or other adults, as kind of offering (of God) from the religious place they had visited.

Hi, Gabriel. It is so nice to know that you have so far been to many spiritually important places in India. I would like to point out something in reference to the time bar at 03.11 of your above video. You said that Saraswati river was a mythical one which does not exist. But the fact is, it is not a mythical river. It is a real one, but hidden inside earth's surface. If you want to see this river flowing on the earth's surface, then you need to go to Mana village, which is about 3 km from Holy Badrinath in Uttarakhand. In fact, there is a story behind it how it got underground to prevent any noise disturbance to Lord Ganesha during His writing of the Great Mahabharata being dictated by the sage Rishi Vedvyas. Hope you visit Mana to see it practically but for a very small distance. There u can also visit Ganesha gufa (Cave), where Lord Ganesha had written the great epic Mahabharat as dictated by Rishi Vedvyas.

The reason for many Vishnu avatars as compared to that of Shiva and Brahma ------ The trimurtis have certain specific roles to play in Hinduism. Brahma is the creator of the universe, Vishnu is the preserver and Shiva is the destroyer. So, basically Bhagwan Vishnu has to take multiple avatars to preserve the Universe (and Dharma). Shree Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, says to Arjuna in Bhagwad Geeta - Whenever righteousness is on the decline, unrighteousness is in the ascendant, then I body Myself forth. For the protection of the virtuous, for the extirpation of evil-doers, & for establishing Dharma (righteousness) on a firm footing, I manifest Myself from age to age. There are a total of ten avatars of Vishnu -- (1) Matsya (Fish) (2) Kurma (Turtle) (3) Varaha (Boar) (4) Narsimha (Half-man half-lion) (5) Vamana (Dwarf) (6) Parashurama (Warrior sage) (7) Rama (8) Krishna (9) Buddha (10) Kalki (Prophesied tenth avatar)

Brahamgupta who lived in or around Ujjain in the 6th century CE, was an astrologer-astronomer and the author of several works on astronomy .Varahmihra also lived around same time and made great contributions to astronomy. Bhaskara, who lived in the 12th century CE, was the head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain Among above, Brahmagupta had significant contribution including the famous invention of zero which is now the basis of numeral system and computer binary system!.Brahmagupta was the director of the Ujjain center of Ancient Indian mathematical astronomy, which was a hub of astronomical research in ancient India . He is also credited with the first clear description of the quadratic formula (the solution of the quadratic equation) in his main work, the **Brāhma-sphuṭa-siddhānta** . He also described gravity as an attractive force and used the term "gurutvākarṣaṇam" in Sanskrit to describe it . Indians know this term but yet they read Newton was the first person to tell to the world about gravity ! I think this credit along with many credits were stolen by west as whole narrative of history and science was hijacked by west after industrial revolution.Anoter sample credit which was stolen-The Pythagorean theorem -is commonly attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, it was known in India centuries before Pythagoras was born !The earliest known reference to the Pythagorean theorem in India is found in the **Baudhayana Sulba Sutra**, which was written by the Indian mathematician Baudhayana around 800 BCE . The Sulba Sutra also contains a non-axiomatic demonstration of the theorem for an isosceles right triangle using a rope measure Besides above, it was a great center of education in ancient times, (before Nalanda and Takshila) You might remember about Sandipana Aashram where Lord Krishna got education (sort of boarding school where kids used to be sent in ashrams to get educated in vedic texts and military skills training )

Hanuman is extremely powerful, as much as he is a devotee of Ram…. He is holding the five faces of the energies of GOD…. Brahma has five faces…. I enjoyed this vlog, thank you. Ujjain is apparently the original Avanti, Mahakal is Shiva, of course you know… I wonder if you came across Mahankal temple when you were in Kathmandu, it’s near Ratnapark, I did watch a video of yours filmed near that area. Happy Good Friday❤

@0arjun07710 ай бұрын
It's not God but daily rituals need money. It includes ghee, Milk, banana etc. In Hindu religion Temples are a place where the element of the Gods are consecrated and according to the rituals to keep the divinity there certain rituals needs to be done. It's different in different temples so none of the temples are the same in India also the purpose changes according to the nature of the deity. So basically the conjuring of the Gods who are in Upper 6 realms to the 7th realm where we live. Elemental Gods are in the 5th like Water, fire etc.

Gotcha. In this case they aren't related. It's typical that there's a crescent moon on top of a mosque. The building was clearly Islamic in appearance, so I was looking for a crescent moon. I didn't see one, but pretty sure it was still a mosque.

Looking forward to your visit to Maheshwar. I commented on one of your Jodhpur videos that you should learn the Hindi script. You have visited the country 13 times, and know a lot about places and people. Certainly seen more of India, than most Indians would have seen. Learning the script will help you learn more, and avoid some scenarios. Like one, where a lady asked you not to record, when you were recording a ceiling and she came to tell you that shoes weren't allowed. It was written in Hindi on a small board, "Joote uttare". "Keep your shoes off". You are going to places less visited by Foreigners. Learning the script can help in many ways. It's not that tough!!
