Amazing #SHIGMO Celebration, Goa Travel/Tourism. #homkhand #holi - Dangerous & Awesome
so hello everyone hi this is your buddy SIMPLE GUY and I have shot this video after the HOLI celebration festivals in Goa so I actually enjoyed the festival .... so the festival HOLI when you think of the festival HOLI google it all you'll find lots of references to mythology, you'll find a lot of references to culture tradition then there's color ,there's water balloons there is fire and there's a lot of things so from what i know of the Indian traditions of uh uh there would be a season of either you know the kharif crop or the rabi crops they would be chopped or so that time there would be lighting of fire and they would that would actually signify the end of winter..... so that's the festival holy so a huge fire be lit and a lot of deities are worshipped you know and then in tradition so be it culture or religion i think the HOLI is one of the big festivals in india and especially northern India southern India so i actually had my brush with the holi festival celebrations and these were amazing uh there is okay everyone then you thinks of Goa if i'm getting drunk we're getting high we're getting i don't know what not and the beaches and I don't know the foreigners coming to goa..... and it's okay goa has its different facets and sides so i have seen um the holy festival celebration I have participated last year also but I really enjoyed the ones so what happens is I ummm now there was fire walking now the main highlight fire highlighted and i was asked okay i was asked whether i should actually fire walk or not...... but well i had done that fire walking earlier and i wish it would again okay and then i said well let's go through it so that was trial by fire and i did .....see look i'm alive right and definitely uh I shall show you my feet
the same t-shirt that i wore with that video so if you see my feet now oh fish so this is scalded but but well i'm not scared again this is my other feet other foot oh if you see this has been burnt burnt badly but here you'll see i have thick skin on my feet of hands of the skin of hands and feet are the toughest so you don't have to worry about it so it was a great experience again and i went twice okay through it and i had someone hold up the camera and but in now if you move on for the further in the video you'll find me explaining okay what's happening what's not so there is amazing stuff that keeps going on okay so stay tuned see i don't know inquisitive right to see what happens in holi and i really wanted to show and put this out to youtube there is a different side of goa the celebrations in goa but the holy festival celebrated let's move so initially when i went on from my house i didn't know what to expect like because i didn't never saw the function from start to end but the first time i saw the phone from starter and then i was hearing firecrackers in my head so let's go and see what happened next so that i think the next two parts of the video will just show you all the you know the fireworks going through and it's like big celebration it was at one moment you'd feel that it's diwali so you can go and see just see the next part so guys it is the day of holi and everyone is busting crackers here and there so there is going to be a lot of things this one happens tonight so right now i am think there's a ceremony in the village that we'd be walking on fire so i have to be very careful uh i have to walk faster and not stop on the way so i'll be attempting my firewalk the second time this year last year i had done it in 2021 and i think that was on 22 again i need to do the same thing so let's try it out again let's try to walk on fire today happy holi guys look at the celebration of holi it has been their first thing that was like crazy that's for you the bursting crackers and here's the fire being burnt so i think i can zoom in i think uh for the next one a lot of people were gathered around like you could say almost i think more than 100 because it looking at the crowd and the kids and all that people waiting outside for okay people came up and that there was police protection also because certain times during this festival okay um uh on this day gently go on most even people who drink or don't drink it let me bust you a myth about goa okay right it's not that everyone drinks in goa in fact you'll find the percentage of non-drinkers very less than the drinkers so but there's one truth if anyone in goa you find person like you know rolling on the floor after getting drunk there are the highest chances he's not a goal he's from some where outside whether international or local or maybe uh national he is definitely not from core because ivory bones uh all the time the small you know when 5 years old to 85 years old everyone drinks wine and fenny and URRAK, Niro as medicine so the for us we have a very high tolerance value all right so you'll find a lot of there will be brawls and fights and stuff like that so there will be police posted around to ensure that everything is okay people are standing across. huge crowd i'm just capturing everything always people are standing in line for holy festival there is policemen also everyone is around so if you see they have decorated the whole this is the panchayat here okay and they've decorated the whole place so you'll find people have already played holi i know holy as for the calendar dates of last week but over here it is this week all right so i'm just going to take a round around the whole so far you guys get the situation so everyone has partied everyone is drunk it's going to be fun so there's a tradition where people run on pole a walk on pole for that matter i'm showing you inside i don't know if the phone camera is going to work the phone camera may not work as soon as i go inside because there's too much of heat so.......... if you go closer the phone camera will say NO.... so this thing is there it's going to be fun to see so i went to the fire and then initially when people when i think there was no one around i went inside the pit over there and in the fields and then i checked the fire and i tried to understand okay well you know what it looks like i went around the place i took videos here and there and try to feel how the file looks like i'm standing right here it's going to be fun it's going to be exciting this young man because there's already so it's gonna be fun i hope i get some nice slow mo's over here oh this is good let me try some slo-mo's gonna be fun let's see how it's gonna work so the initial part of the fire they have already you know stacked locks over each other but what happens is once the fire starts burning and coal starts being generated we need to spread out the coal across the place so there'll be people in the sticks trying to you know spread out the coal if you just check this video further then spread out the coal across the place trying to you know level it out so that it spreads out you cannot put too much for one place because the person starts walking on it they burn the person too so they have to spread out so that's what they're doing see in the next part of beauty this everyone is there lighting the fire let's see what our people are doing in this case then after that i'll see what other people are doing and how they're running after that only i'll come to know whether i can be able to go through them hey there's the fire there's the fire let's see if i can walk it i'll be taking my camera along with me i can see the fire walk it through all right see all the best and yes when we started i started going on the fire i started getting the heat because you know your phone even my phone was giving me warnings that man this is too much of heat so i was like i said my phone can handle it how am i supposed to handle it with this and then i try to you know get her mind comments no this is this you you have to do this you have to do this you've got to focus and yeah well if you can focus you can probably wow fire you can do anything in this world because you need to have ultimate focus and determination to this i was mentally programming mother providing my support well when you got to the secret tools so the first few minutes were pretty you know more of mind over matter kind of thing so i experienced this part over here and this is a very one good learning of this tradition that you definitely have mine don't matter and then definitely you kind of have the belief that all your bad vibes and things should be gutted into the fire and you come on clean so that's that's how it is diggity bye so afterwards i saw the first time runners i said the first time runners were i think they were young people so when i saw the first emeralds they were like okay i said well yeah this is possible because come on they were probably slightly younger than me maybe two or three years ago but i can probably do this so it's not a big problem let's let's do this i was like feeling more confident i can probably run through so that was okay money i walked and very calm with the mind of a ninja meditated so then i went quietly walking but after that my souls they definitely heat it up and it was i felt that i felt the pinch of the fire and pinch of vanilla burn of the fire and then when i got off from the chill like mentally you got to have ninja focus and don't bother about the fire it's gonna come to you you have to walk through you're not gonna melt in the fight it's not as hot as a volcano because once you go through the fire there's a layer of ash which should protect your feet there's some silly people who are like you know kind of coating their feet with mud and then turning us you your hands and feet are the toughest right that's not a big problem so you're putting more part of running so when i got off the fire i was reading the first one i was so happy like yes justin [ __ ] this is how you walk through fire i'm so happy so happy so happy so amazing it was a sense of achievement and i wish to do this every year it's gonna be fun even my children also they should participate in this festival it's amazing it's amazing so this is my brother peter we both ran on poles but i'm one more time he ran once but he didn't take his video i didn't know that he was running okay if you're running once more just let me know okay i'll be there i'm standing here early taking some videos for my real king man me everyone figured hey nice and you know if you i i was with the anastasia is shocking you know like you know children children like in the age of five years six years seven eight young girls and then i was really shocked to see a woman like she was wearing salvage and she was running and i asked her should i take her videos like okay no problem and then i sent her the video she was so happy her daughter was shooting the video and her daughter was herself driving maybe around 9 12 years or something 12 years and she was actually taking her video and i said she was like running fabulous there's nothing you can see in this video clip i'm going to show you firefighter earth for my real kingman your eyes you got your fire now your mind you got that fire now your heart from me head to meet up you give me that shoes boy we spin at me when you want me fido nations if you go through my second one video you'll find something strange like i came out with a smile on my face like like as well that was like oh i did burn but yeah i can tolerate it i was like very happy and what happened like okay then i realized the people who are actually uh if you see the video you'll find the people who are standing with bamboo sticks on either side so they are considered uh probably the uh you know the gatekeepers right so we have tradition like they don't allow anyone cannot run from any we have to run from that side when it's one side which is designated so when you go over there you realize that people are running this okay by no moving on the fire they'll guard the fire okay and there is uh this tradition in india like suppose um you're worshiping any deity okay so you don't need to put the western science into it do not do that because you try to understand indian traditions okay you have not to have western science in it yes but if it goes like deeper like human sacrifice something then then you you've got to stop that then and then but if you're talking about the worship of deities um whenever we the the tradition in india i'll tell you very like a brief thing about india uh when i think of a deity okay the deity will always be in some form okay we have deities as elephants so whenever i find an elephant i i like namaste i prostate because i this is the animal that we have to show respect because it reminds me of lord ganesha then if there's a monkey and trust me if there's a monkey they're cute they're not they're cute but it's like they can be cunning also so whenever we i'm like okay jai hanuman because harman is the you know deity who whose face is that of a monkey so and and not just that this great hanuman is the all-powerful almighty and one of the most powerful avatars of uh lord shiva the the adi yogi right so every um god is worshipped as a deity now but when you look at now this perspective like you know there's a local goddess in the village so they can be it can be anyone it can be so many goddesses so we worship a goddess as a woman so so that we know whenever we have our women in the house we have to give them suspect as god so similarly it is as a reciprocation because you'll find the woman this the imagery or the idols of women goddesses okay they will be similar to the people in that region so they will be whatever um features and the skin tone and everything that will be almost similar so this is basically to say because we see ourselves in the god in the deity because we consider that we have part of god within us and that is what we're worshiping so whenever we actually anoint okay we actually put a tiller called this on the fear we put up to ourselves because this is the god within us okay and we worship that higher being within us so if you try to put the western logic into it or any sort of external foreign logic into it and all that you know people understand this because there is always a dimension that you want to understand of belief so one of the people within who is actually lighting the fires we will seem to be possessed or the it won't be possessed is not the right word because not every word everything in the indian culture you can explain by the english language but you it's more of uh he or she will um what there's a particular word for in english which will not imbibe the quality they'll be um like he he or she shall you know be a representative of the goddess that that be the goddess of the god okay and he'll be a representative of the local god and then people have to listen kind of to him his instructions so you'll find there's a person in this videos who's actually lighting the fires and then definitely the heat may take her psychological toll but if you try to explain to that to that person okay why is it taking psychological toll on you and on and this is so he has to assume the form of the goddess or the god it gender doesn't matter this gender because in many of our older scriptures gender equality is always there so for me for my understanding is that that person imbibes the qualities of the goddess or the god and then in fact there's certain type places that he actually says that i want this one to run through the fire or that one to rather fire but of course he's not he or she whoever is having that qualities or generally men only doing their job because it's it's a heavy work so but if a woman wishes to do it she can there's no restriction but within one time she he will be he'll say okay i want this one to run i want that control i want the children to run and i want to kind of have them pass through the fire so she the goddess of the god which was he's not he or she is not asking for their sacrifice let me tell you it's definitely not demonic it's like they want them to go through the fire and burn off all the negative energy into the life that is the main motive of this okay so please so that is just a significant symbolic significance and yes it's more of mental conditioning you want then as you as i have previously mentioned this video a couple of number of times that do not use a western logic into it because then you remember people to understand and do not try to prove things scientifically non-scientifically like that you don't fall into it go through the experience go through it understand it okay all right so because everyone has their own logic okay but yes if it goes as far as harming another human being or an innocent animal or human being or something then yes then it has to be questioned the respect of whatever religion caused something if there should be no harm and listen if it is against the will of the person but running through fire was not dangerous at all there was no lives which were affected nothing and of course this fused cause of the leg come on it's going to heal so it's not a big thing okay but okay now you you it was a beautiful experience they're running through and after everyone finisher then at the last if you see there's this person who actually he was imbibing you know having representing the goddess he in the end he runs through it and then he throws the he's bamboo in the fire he's the last runner and that signifies the end of it and then he sits down fell down and then he relax he's like almost in a trance and then he's given water waking up and everything those kind of things so it's beautiful um well now go to the next part you'll see a lot of drums you'll find a lot of random people here and then yeah but in the in the end is is is is is is like act like this is so i think this is the end of the session no one is running anymore up thank now i am glad to be participating in this and then i have a lot of proof this ash is being worshipped let's put it on her forehead it's nice and amazing time to you know look at this is done and not just that you know this you know police marked as early night of winter and started heating up things in goa so definitely but at least now it's a satisfaction that all uh supposed to signify the end of your miseries throw up all your bad feelings absolutely now oh in the end of this video i would like to mention okay that there are many such traditions in india it is not standardized or it's not i believe the traditions india are not much religious they are because religion is definitely a foreign concept to india where they would try to unify the people under one religion right and at one point of time yes goa was ruled by the portuguese and there are a lot of catholics who are living around uh my area and then i'm very they're very nice people and very loving people and i am the people whom i'm encountered very loving so um what i in uh the message that i want to keep this to this video is i want many people many people from all over the world you visit you visit goa and especially during the time of holi it may be hot but maybe the heat is holding it and it gets hotter right okay so you so you saw how hotter this video got coming i think it was a very hot hot video so not in a naughty way but uh it's it was very good and i wish that many people from all over the world beat what a part of the world you come to come to this particular time okay enjoy the essence of this festival okay walk and anthony fire walking is practice in many cultures okay i think the polynesians do it they have their day in and day out with fire then there are many other places all over the world they will practice walking through fire certain places dunking themselves in cold water like in colder parts of europe okay or even canada or whatever so there are traditions all over do not i mean uh if you try to draw parallels okay you say okay this is equal to this this is equal to this because the human mind is meant to actually compartmentalize things by saying okay this is religious this is you know political this is cultures so and people have still not been able to identify the differences between religion spirituality and culture they just put everything one basket and say well this worship of god is my spirituality my culture my identity and once you assume the identity of anything your whole existence will be um you know fighting to other decisions that you take will always be there to protect your that that identity so i believe in our culture i have read somewhere like my father he told me there's a very simple line in sanskrit which says um um that's me so when i say the word brahmas so brahman is basically the universe i am the universe and the universe is my family okay so we have this thing that vasudeva it means vasadeva means the whole universe the whole godliness universe this is my old family so once you consider that now you'll say okay i'm a person actually your mind considered family because family is a human trait a human emotion you cannot be devoid from it that is we you always had a mother or a father unless i don't know if you're somehow genetically engineered in the lab or you are an actually an ai who's listening to this video but when we talk about uh this is going to go in into another rabbit hole and stuff is going to be said but you have to enjoy the traditions look around it have fun with it and it's lovely memory people remember these things for years to come so next time if anyone wishes to experience this and goa you can you're free to contact me in the email down below and um i would very much guide them and take them around goa and show them the actual culture that happens right you know that that is around here and as long as people are actually protecting this culture and keeping it alive with all these traditions and beautiful arrangements they're doing across every year in goa i will be there to show you guys around so i believe ciao or in portuguese sorry in konkani um sorry it's like like let god do you well god speed in english and finally i end this video by saying namaste welcome to india welcome to goal
