About Kasi
‘Oh MIND! Do undertake pilgrimage to KASI to have the vision of Lord Visvesvara’
~ Maharaja Swati Thirunal Bhajan
Kasi is one of the few Indian cities that has been buzzing with life and thriving with people since Vedic times. Kasi, of course, is sacred for dying, as it is believed that Siva himself is present at the time of death, teaching the wisdom of life and existence that enables one to “cross over”, cutting asunder the cycle of birth and death. It is here, in this city, where the Ganges matures, meandering slowly, carrying the sins of Her visitors. The Ganga aarti is an elevating experience, not to be missed in a lifetime.
Sparks of Travel
The sounds, the smells and the song of Ganga aarti–
O Mother Ganga, may your water,
bless the world abundantly;
O Mother Ganga, may your water,
constantly channel Lord Siva,
the playful Lord of all the world –
essence of all scriptures, and
embodiment of all goodness;
O Mother Ganga, may your water,
the sublime nectar of immortality,
soothe our troubled souls
