Man I am from Kashi itself and we say a word "Jaye deta Mardava" means leave it/ignore it. It happens with even us local at times. I wish you had a great time afterwards.
My pleasure, thanks for the kind words Betty. Where in the world are you watching from? I do wonder how it must feel from the comfort of home! Would be cool to hear your views on my other India videos too
Hello james ! Welcome to India welcome to Varanasi, i am from Varanasi, please ignore negative things because in al the world there are both types of human being either good or bad , anyway enjoy and live all the moment, if you want any help then i be available. Thanks you 🙏
Nice video man... wish I could have the courage to vlog in public like u xD hope i can join you in your adventures in India.. keep the good content coming my friend😇😇😇I
Lot's of There to do Starting From Scenic natural beauty to forest adventure, Paragliding, Have some traditional cuisine many more. I request you to visit my region Sir.
Hello james , i am from Varanasi. Brother i know there are some people who have problems with all other men. But brother you should ignore such kind of people. I am saying sorry as a Indian brother. Next time if you come to Varanasi let's meet brother. I will show you the beauty of Varanasi.
It is indeed. Kuala Lumpur is paradise (in absolute terms, never mind relative!) at the moment… but flying back to India this weekend for pt 2 of the tour
Sorry to say, but you've been scammed! There is no hospice (at least not at Manikarnika) and there is no need for donations as the firewood price they told you is a lie. A group of neighborhood locals scam tourists into believing that they are social workers/volunteers and offer to show you around so you feel like donating $$$. They also sell "photo permits" that don't exist, that's why they want you to stop filming as they want to earn their share. These professional groomers later split the money with the Dom Rajas, the keepers of Manikarnika. There's a group of at least 10 scammers, watch out!
Every single tourist at my guesthouse had been scammed. Some were very uncomfortably pushed into paying as much as 80 (US) dollars for "good karma" . You pay a Dom but they later split the money. Once you are trapped, they offer other services, like being a tour guide, yoga, astrology, silk, souvenirs etc. They are waiting at the "wall" entrance and sneak up to tourists, all smiles and psychologically prepared. They make a full time living grooming tourists. I've observed this for many days. Unfortunately I'm a victim myself and it was confirmed by a local resident. @@InvestedAdventure
It is a shame that Indian authorities do nothing to stop scammers at one of their holiest places. I can confirm the scam as I did fall for it. I could not have imagined this to be possible. Great shame for all Hindu people.
@@InvestedAdventure Swachh means Clean, Bharat is India. Mr Modi is our Prime Minister, he had started a drive called Swachh Bharat. Mainly because people of India think they can litter anywhere and it is government duty to employ workers to clean it but through this drive he spread awareness that it is the people who need to keep the surroundings clean. There are govt employed workers to clean the litter but the people should not think that it is their right to litter anywhere they want. Many places are surprisingly kept very clean and I have also observed a change in people's perspective. You may think that it is a very basic thing for which we needed a drive to be launched but it was much needed. India is twisted 😂 So the person is trying to say above is that people should stop littering these public areas and spitting. Spitting as in people are habitual of chewing tobacco and all kinds of stuff and they spit it anywhere they please
It may seem that way to the outside world, based on our cultural norms, but this is an ancient ritual and hence I was fascinated to witness it. Even though there is no denying the stark reality

That upper building is a crematorium used during the monsoon floods. Where you were standing is under flood waters.
Thats incredible, thank you for furthering my knowledge of this incredibly important place
I was there in March, it was the craziest thing I have ever seen and witnessed.
Right up there for me too, David. It felt more like a lucid dream than reality whilst I was there
Good video keep making more amazing knowledge not wondering around but have context that’s just simply amazing you genuinely deserve more views
Thank you so much for your kind words - this is exactly what keeps the fire burning when people cast aspersions on me

Hey james please come Lucknow only 350 km from Varanasi and maximum 5 to 6 hour journey so please you visit our city.
Hey Manoj, I’ll be sure to see about that when I’m back up north 🇮🇳
There is a belief here that the person whose body is cremated here attains salvation.
So I’ve learned. Thanks my friend

📍 Can anyone else corroborate?
@@InvestedAdventure yes ia gree with @Triryche777 on every point , there is no need for donation for firewood.

Fun video. They should stop spitting and littering everywhere! Mr Modi had run a “swach Bharat” drive which worked very well in some places.
What does that mean brother? I’m curious to understand more
