Unplanned Trip to Varanasi | Tripping with Jitendra Joshi | #Varanasi #Bha2Pa
Garbh shunya tha ma jab janmi, mai tha shunya Garbh jab janma, shunya safar se, shunya safar tak Shunya se upar, shunya basar tak Shunya safar se, shunya safar tak. Shunya se upar, shunya basar tak Mai ab shunya ek banna chahun aur hu ek shunya. Agar na ban pau. Whenever Reva used to cry, this song used to calm her down.
I was planning to call you tomorrow to tell you that I am in Kashi. I am going to Kashi for 10 days. -What's up? I have a song tomorrow. My friend Amey.. -Hi, I am Amey. is been asking me since a long time to make a travel show. I told him to come along with me on my trip.
I was going to surprise you by calling you, and telling you I am in Kashi. He asked me to see who was sitting at the first seat. What should I do now? Is this your seat too? -No, it's at the back.
We'll meet later. -Of course. Look at the guy and the dog in the video. This look is great! -Really? My daughter and I both don't like the clean shaven look. What does she have to say? She thinks my beard looks good. I also need to change my look a lot, go from mustache to beard.
Why take a big risk in my look. When someone offers me a role of a 50 year old person, and they say I look young, I feel good. Or a role of a 45 year old person, and they say I look young, I feel good.
It's a weird concept that people feel good when someone calls them young. Age is a beautiful thing. Sandesh Kulkarni once told me that beautiful young people are accidents of life. And beautiful old people are art of life. So, I feel that I want to be...
I am an accident of life right now, but I want to become art of life. She's still crying. You don't know where you want to go? -We go a ticket to Banaras and came here. We only know that we'll live on a ghat, that's it. You don't have a plan? -No, we haven't planned anything.
I came here 10 years ago. -You've come here before? We'll go to places near the Dashashwamedh and Assi Ghat. There are a lot of places. There are a lot of places but what about a plan? -No plan, we'll live on the ghats. I am disturbed.
He is recording everything. I am disturbed. I was saying to Mahesh, You have come for the program, I have come on leave.
I told him that I won't disturb him and he can't disturb me. He said, "Because you yourself are disturbed. It's funny.
We'll go once our bag arrives. What happens when you have good company, I've come with the guest of honour, so I am getting honoured as well. Do remember this. I am getting honoured.
Thank you. I have met a big classical singer. Yes, he is very big and he has won a national award for a film in Maharashtra He has also won an award I don't know, I am okay. I am a fan of music He is a student of Pandit Jitendra Abhishek He has a program tomorrow. It is good to meet people like you, please give me my bag Yes. -He has lost his bag, so he is thinking that it would be better if you forget it and he will be sorted for the journey.
It's of no use You go ahead, I am coming Bye, bye, see you later. See you later. I'll send you his number. Now we are here and they left. They were going to drop us, But the point is, we decided not to do anything planned. We were just excited.
I lost my wallet the other day. I lost my card. I lost my money. We are relying on online payments. But the thing is, all this happened in just a few hours. It's a miracle. It's God's work.
Where do you want to go? I want to stay in a hotel between the Assi and Dashashwamedh. You drop me at the Assi. I'll go. 1999, so you are a 23 year old boy. I was already in Mumbai for 2 years in 1999. Were you born here? -Yes.
How much have you studied? I am doing B.Ed. You are doing B.Ed? Yes. You want to become a teacher? -Yes. What subject will you teach? English. What? I want to teach English. -I don't know English. Teach me some.
I want to develop my English. I will go after this, ask me then. You talk to me in English. I don't know English very well. -I also don't know it well. How will you teach then? If you want to teach people...
You'll get disturbed, I have to drive. What? I am driving.. Why will I get disturbed? You are saying anything. I'll drive. You talk to me. You can teach Hindi, right? You want to teach English and you don't know English. How will you teach English? I am deciding whether to choose Hindi or English.
Then choose Hindi. If a person from Banaras teaches Hindi, it is good. How can a person from England teach Hindi? If a person from Banaras teaches Hindi..
There is a lot of interesting things in the Hindi language. He is asking me where I am from. If I am from Banaras.
I said, "What do you think? He said, "From the language, you sound like you are from Banaras." I am from Banaras. I know the language of Banaras. And I am live in the city, so I can't speak much. I have also learned Marathi there.
You should know the language of the place where you should live, right? That's true. That's true. I also know Punjabi. I also know Bengali.
See, I know so much. I also know Marathi. Yes. Nachre mora ambya chya vanat, nachre mora nach. Kala kala kapus pinjra re, dhaganshi vara jhunjala re. Did you understand? Yes, tell me.
You get caught up in the language of Banaras. You get caught up, right? Yes. That's it. Wherever we go, they ask us, "Where are you from? Your Hindi is very different. -Mumbai Hindi is very different.
Sir will not be able to speak like this. Yes, sir won't be able to. No, not at all. I am Marwari. I was born in Pune, which has the language Marathi.
But I like languages very much. And I am an artist. So I try to catch different languages. I am not from Banaras, but you called me from Banaras. So I am honoured.
This is the honour of my art. I am telling you.. He's tricking you. It doesn't seem like it. He has a good face.
He has a good face? Then go and sit. You will see. You sit. I will take you from where you'll have to go straight.
Come, sit. My brother is good. He is not a bad person. It's not about being bad. People from outside are important for us. You get it right? Let's go.
I have taken the support of one person. I will go with him. Now you think whether I should leave or not. -Yes, sit. Your truth is with you. We are not fooling you. Stay in the hotel, don't leave. Jai Hind. Jai Hind. -Jai Shree Ram.
Jai Shri Ram. Jai Bhole Nath. It's fine, I am used to it. The rivalry between us was such that they thought that he shouldn't have increased the fare from Rs 100 to Rs 150 That's why everyone went against him.
This is competition, right? Yes, they were taunting me. They were trying to kill your business in the competition But what did we say? We will go with you. Isn't that right? Rent is not a duty, It is a duty.
We saw your face and understood that you are not tricking us. I love this song. An eggplant's grandfather is being sold here. Have you ever seen an eggplant like this? The dish made from this will be... What has been taught to us? Love every living being. Every living being has God's presence.
I don't understand people who are cruel to dogs. Why has this been taught to us since our childhood? To treat a dog in a bad manner. It bites, doesn't it? Does a dog bite for no reason? Has it been taught to bite? Dogs don't bite. Has she been frying jalebis since she was born? It learned to bite because it had a reason. What is this? What is the reason for a dog to bite? If someone does this to us, we fight or flight. We know only two things.
Let him go. It is not that everyone... People have been taught to treat dogs in a bad manner. They think it's fun to do it. This is very wrong.
I feel very tricky. I have also become one of them. I also do that with a dog. I think it will do something. People love birds.
Pigeons are given seeds. It was also shown in the movie. Come, come, pigeon. He's not liking me. It's okay. Humans eat hens by giving seeds to them. Humans are very bad.
Giving seeds to hens and then eating them. Mathri. Mathri ki Bijlee ka Mandola. Where to go now? I don't think I am going to remember this way. This is a temple. Which is the way out? There is a road for sure.
Thank you, brother. Side, brother. Vegetable cycle guy.
Just wait for a minute. I'll stop by Vivekananda ji for a minute. Yes, yes. I'll be right back. -Wait, wait, wait. Are you recording me? -Yes, I am recording you. Okay. Give me the mic. We can get his words.
What's your name? -Bhonesh Pandya. Huh? -Bhonesh Pandya. I'm from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Oh, you're from Gujarat? -Yes. So, how are you here? -We have been living here since 7/8 generations.
Do you speak Gujarati at home? -A little bit. A little? -Yes, not a lot. Let's go. -The streets are very narrow here.
That's why it's difficult for the passengers to come. -Huh? The streets here are very narrow. So, the passengers who can't walk, they have a lot of trouble coming and going. Don't you think narrower the streets, the more people will bump into and meet each other, right? But there's also an advantage. For example, when Corona came, the whole area was packed. So, the people outside couldn't come.
When the minister comes, the whole area is packed. When there's a lot of crowd, the area is packed. So, that's why people can't come here.
So, we don't get sick. Like, Bhairavnath protects the whole area. Yes, that's a very good thing. I've also come so that Bhairavnath can protect me. -Yes.
Let's go, show me the way out. -Let's go. Hello. -Namaste. Here, here. -Where?
I am selling this online. Take both the beards. Take all the beards. Both are solid. -Wow, amazing. Oh, that's great. That's great, that's great. Come, come. Let's go.
This is amazing. This is Banaras, brother. Now let's have some tea. We want to have some tea.
Please give us some tea, sir. Namaste. You won't see this anywhere else. There are policemen here, but they're wearing gandh. You can only see this in Banaras. Because in other places...
I think that... Look at this. This kind of tea... Oh, my! This is amazing! I'm not a fan of tea, but... We make bread and cream too. Huh? We make bread and cream too. I don't want to eat bread.
But this is amazing. Which direction should we go now? This direction? Jai Somnath! Namaste! Hey, wait a minute! You're going in such a hurry. What's your name? Sudhakar Chaturvedi. Huh? Sudhakar Chaturvedi.
Sudhakarji, where are you from? UP, Jalon. Jalon. I'm from Mumbai. You? Where in Mumbai? I'm from Powai. From Powai? My house is in Panvel, Mumbai.
In Panvel? Yes, in Panvel. Huh? Have you visited the Somnath Temple? No, I'll do it tomorrow. You'll do it tomorrow? I'm going today.
I'm going around India. It's a 35 day tour. Oh, wow! Yes. We're 18 people. And...
Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, Tirupati Balaji... 11 Jyotirling. We're going to all three Dhams. Where else have you been? Yesterday, we went to Ayodhya. We visited Ram Lalla. Today, we'll visit the Kashi Vishwanath.
May you have a blessed journey. We pray to you. Jai Shree Ram.
Namaste! Jai Shree Ram. Wow! Wow! Wow! Enjoy yourselves. It's very good. I forgot. Son, don't beg. It's not a good thing.
It's not a good thing, son. Malai! Malai! This is called Malai. This... This is Somnath's Malaiyo. This is made only for 3 months.
Huh? 3 months. Yes. Meaning, 90 days.
Yes. After that, you won't even get to see this. What is this called? This is called Malaiyo. In Delhi, it's called Daulat ki Chaat. In Kanpur, it's called Makhan Malai.
It's name is different everywhere. But, it's real name is Nimish Malaiyo. Nimish? Nimit. Nimish Malaiyo. Nimish Malaiyo.
This is made of pure milk. Give it to me. How much does it cost? Rs. 50.
This costs Rs. 50? Rs. 50. It's very beneficial to eat.
What's the benifit? The biggest benefit of eating this is that it's ambrosial for the eyes. For the eyes? For those who have weak eyes, if they eat this, their eyesight will improve. How do you make this? What's the process? That's the main thing. What will happen if you tell me? I'll tell you everything. Don't tell me everything? We boil the milk and keep it on the roof at night.
It is made from the dew that falls on it in the night. February is the last. If you come in March, you won't get this.
The dew is ambrosial for the body. If you eat this for a month, your face will turn red like a rose. That's why you look like this.
I look like this when I make it. Look at the state of the old man. -Oh no. Still, 3 of them are sitting, I don't know.
Let me take a break. -Come, I'll take you. Where is Dashwashmedh? -I'll take you there. How are you feeling sitting behind? I am feeling good.
You guys are driving, I am feeling good. Come on, turn, turn, turn inside. Why is it going this side? Because of my weight.
Let me get down. Because of your weight? -Yes. It is very difficult, there is no alignment. So it is going that side. Why is it going that side? You have to hold it right, you have to keep it straight.
You have to keep it tight. It is not that hard. You were sitting at the back. I was driving. It was quite easy for me. Just that this handle is going this side.
That made it difficult. Otherwise it is very easy. You have serviced it very well. Oh brother. Oh Dada. Don't do this. Don't drive without your hands.
There is no brake, bro. Wow. You also ride the bicycle well. You came to Banaras and rode it. How much did you say? 100 Rupees Tell us your name My name is Raju I ride a rickshaw in Banaras Were you born here? -I was born here and have living here all my life.
Mera naam Raju Gharana Anam Behti Hai Ganga, Jahan Mera Dhaam. Oh wow! -Jai Kashi Baba. Har Har Mahadev It was Raj Kapoor's song Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai Us Desh Ke Hum Niwasi Hai. Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai Us Desh Ke Hum Niwasi Hai. Amazing. -Har Har Mahadev Har Har Mahadev Okay, bye.
This is my country This is a magic rubber, you take a plain piece of paper and fold it like this. Pay attention, we have made a half drawing. After making the half drawing, open any packet of the rubber and rub it on the other half. Now you fold your design like this.
Take a coin at home and rub it like this. Open this paper slowly, this design will not be half, it will be full. Suppose you want to make a printed picture like this, put it on a small photo like this. And rub this coin on top.
And slowly open the paper, the photo will be very clear. This is magic rubber. You can print it anywhere, this rubber is amazing. Wherever you put it, it will come.
For 20 rupees, you will get 2 rubbers, for 50 rupees, you will get 6 rubbers. It is a very good thing for children, to make art, to make flowers, to make maps etc. What is your name? Shankar Prasad Wow, this is magic. It is very cool. Have you seen such magic before? No, I have not seen it before. I thought to come here on a holiday from college, and saw you guys making this.
This is such a beautiful thing. This old man is sitting here to earn 10 rupees. He is working, whatever money he gets from this, he will run his house.
This is the biggest art. Brother, don't look at it and leave. You should buy one rubber for 10 rupees. You buy with me and I will also buy one. -He already bought one Dada, he will give you Rs. 50, you give him 7, I will give you Rs. 10. No, give it.
Give it, this is for your magic, for your work. Give, you give 50. I will give the money that is left. You get a lot of money, make a little drawing, make art. Teach the children.
This is the artist. Let's go, Jai Ramji. Jai Ramji. What a thing, magic. See, art of satisfaction. The magic of being satisfied.
The magic of being true to yourself. This Chandreshwar Kup, the well in front. Kup means well, well. You will see your shadow in that well. There is water below 50 feet.
But if you look from above, you will see your shadow in it. If you see, you will live. If you don't see, then its validity is 6 months. So first see God, then see Chandrakup.
This is the belief of this temple. Very good. And if you get such water from anywhere in Kashi. Drink mineral water, drink Ganga water. But when you drink the water of Chandreshwar Kup, you will see the difference. How many days will you stay in Banaras? I think two more days.
Two days. Means minimum. Because we have already done so much booking. Come on, let's eat betel leaf. Give me a betel leaf.
The way he has spoken, how beautiful the language is. The way he is speaking, the way he wants to say something. And chew this betel leaf as you chew chewing gum. Chew as you chew chewing gum. You have eaten chewing gum, right? You just have to chew it like that.
When this juice will be formed in his mouth, then rotate that juice, then you will get the pleasure of betel leaf. Yes, yes, yes. Me? -Yes.
Thank you. What could poor Laila do? She locked eyes with Majnu. She came to do something, and she did something else. Laila Majnu have made their name in the world. Pyaar Kiya Koi Chori Nahi Ki Chup Chupke Ahein Bharna Kya Jab Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya.
Chup na sakega ishq hamara. Charo taraf hain ka nazara. Kabhi Sardi, Kabhi Garmi Ye Kudrat Ke Nazaare Hai. Kash Unko Bhi Lagta Jo Dariya ke Kinare Hai. Wow, that's great.
Wow, this was amazing. These trees, these lanes, these people, this river, these trees, these homes and structures built by people at that time. At that time, every king, they got them built, but all the artists who built the ones who built these, the ones who designed it. People must be designing homes at the time too, the architects. This art, whatever is happening here outside, be it a festival or a puja, it is all spiritual. Meditation, how many sages, who all must have come and gone.
How many people have set foot on this land. Whatever is the story, whatever has happened, after that, how many people, Bismillah Khan was from here, right? After that, Pandit Birju Maharaj, these lanes, what is there in these lanes? Of all these years. These trees, cows. This city has something of its own. And so many people see this city every day, year after year. So these people earning through tourism, that is also important.
And this is how life goes, how beautiful it is. People set it properly, give each other instructions, set the rules, do not follow them. People live, but there is something different here.
Did you see the body being cremated? I went to take a picture of it, I took it. I thought I was doing something wrong. I felt that I should not do this. The person is going and before he leaves, we click a photo of it, under the name of art. Even if my intention was good..
But why did you feel this? I don't know. He lived by himself, he's dying by himself, leave him alone while going. No matter where he goes, people will not leave him alone.
(poem) Let's do that, let's do something. We have to go ahead. Why doesn't God listen to me? You go up and ask him. Till then, listen to him.
Be careful. I feel so peaceful when I come here. I came here and I saw the Ghat. There's a lot going on in one Ghat. A puja, Keshava and the last rites ceremony.
A name keeping ceremony is going on. Nagraj Manjule was shooting in Pune in the morning. We were walking in the morning. So in the morning, there's a poem written on Prabhat Road and in the middle of Bhandarkar Road. Mein banda, mein mera Sai. Main bargat meri parchai.
Mein patthar, mein lahu tamasha Kurbani mein khudhi Kasai. Mein Allah hun, Kareem bhi hun. Ram hun mein, aur Rahim bhi hun. Mein Gita, mein Abe Zam Zam. Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, hun Isai. Mein Ranjha, Fakir bhi hun. Katate haathon ki lakeer bhi hun. Mein Shiv sundar, Satya bhi mein hun.
Main bhula aur raha bhulai Maa ka matham, behen ki chhati Mein hi hun Adam ka nati. Tof hun mein, Samsheer bhi hun mein. Fauji ki bewa ki kalai. Main bhuke bache ka niwala. Mein Masjid hun, mein hi Shivala. Mein Azan, mein Shankhnath hun. Maine hi har baat jalayi. Main hi jal raha, bhuja bhi mein hun. Mein kaidi aur riha bhi mein hun.
Tana Shah hun, zulm bhi mein hun. Nanha aasun, mein hi acchai. Tuta Hu par vada hun mein. Fir ugne amaada hun mein. Zakhm hun, murda tamash bhi hun. Khwab hun mein, Mein hi ruswai.
Mein yatin hun, kafan bhi hun mein. Mein Kareem hun, Aman bhi hun mein. Danga hun mein jitna nanga. Ganga hun mein bhali burai. Wow, wow, wow. I wanted to make you listen to it here. -Wow, wow. Wow. It's beautiful. Very beautiful. -Indeed.
You made me listen to it on Ganga. I'll tell you something funny. I told him that we shouldn't decide anything. He wanted to decide where to go. He asked me where to go.
I said, ''Let's decide at 1 o'clock tomorrow." I said, "Okay, fine." Before 1 o'clock, I said, "Let's go to Varanasi, and then figure later."
He asked, 'Hotel Booking?" I said, 'Let's go and see." Finally! I said, 'Not this. I want the Ganga." Ganpati Gas Tower was full, some other place was also full. Finally we found this. It showed a different address.
But it is really here. When we reached, I said that this is where we are going to stay. The Ganga should be visible. I'll do it.
No, we'll go to the side. I mean, you'll go and catch it. There's no need to catch it.
He'll get down and do it. It's the first day. We should calm down. We'll jump like this. Now, look.
Look, he's showing you. We'll jump and... There's no need to do that. Move aside. Wow! -Come.
I won't come. I'll do it later. Bye bye. It was fun. See you. Nice to meet you. It was really nice. See you. I'll be at the 6 o clock show tomorrow at 5.30/5.45. -Come anytime. Bye. Thank you. Bye bye. I had to meet him here. The poem that I had written on the 27th.
I had forgotten that it ends with the Ganga. We didn't decide where to stay. But we came here and found this hotel. The smoke is coming from the pyres. Lord Shiva is sitting next to it.
There is a temple of Kashi Vishweshwar. It is surprising that there is no one there. How was everything built on the same riverbank? Why wasn't anything built on that side of the river? Why was that riverbank left alone? The business is going on here. Business doesn't mean business. Business doesn't mean only business. It means hustle and bustle. There is no hustle
and bustle there. But there is deep peace on that side. Alone. So I am talking about that peace that after hustle and bustle, or in the middle of hustle and bustle, when you look at another side of your mind, nothing happens there. And nothing happens here. What exists there is nothing.
Everyone has their own way of reaching that side. But nothingness is nothingness for everyone. So the one who wrote this poem, his mother, my mother understood that poem better. That poem was that Ek shunya chahiye.
Ek shunya chahiye. Thehra thehra, ruka ruka. Vicharon ka mausam, tapmaan bhi nyun chahiye. Ek shunya chahiye. Ek shunya chahiye. Thehra thehra, ruka ruka. Vicharon ka mausam, tapmaan bhi nyun chahiye. Ek shunya chahiye. Shunya safal hai, shunya se hi. Shunya asafal hai shunya se hi.
Shunyon ka abhi arth na pucho mujh jaise arthshunya se. Shunya safal hai, shunya se hi. Shunya asafal hai shunya se hi. Shunyon ka abhi arth na pucho mujh jaise arthshunya se. Shunyon ka kab kahan thikana. Shunyon ka kaise mil pana. Jis sankhya se karo kam guno milao, fir bhi shunya hai paana. Shunya saral hai duniya ka sthar.
Shunya se darta manushya aur Ishwar. Shunya bhavar hai, fas jayega. 649 00:42:03,686 --> 00:42:00,826 Shunya hai bandhan, das jayega. Shunya vividhata na dikhlaye. Shunya na bhasha koi sikhaye.
Shunya hai alag ek sa dikhta. Shunya bas svay ko shunya dikhaye. Garbh shunya tha ma jab janmi, mai tha shunya, garbh jab janma. Shunya safar se, shunya safar tak. Shunya se upar, shunya basar tak Shunya safar se, shunya safar tak. Shunya se upar, shunya basar tak Mai ab shunya ek banna chahun aur hu ek shunya.
Agar na ban pau. It's a matter of leaving others. Leave others and this side.
