Incredible culture in Varanasi - Feb 21st, 2019

Opportunity to sit with a Nadu Baba

In the last few days, I have been immersed in a place incredibly rich in culture that requires time for my reflection. I have witnessed cremations right before my eyes as the rituals for death are completed openly where time and space is given to process, and the cycle from grievance to celebration of life can occur. Questions arise on what is my part in improving human welfare in this world as poverty has been prevalent and seeing it this closely has given me a truer understanding and scope of people who are suffering. Observing and learning about Nadu Baba's have been enthralling as these people have chosen to be unclothed and go through life as a begger for the purpose of surppressing ego as they devote themselves to their spiritual practices. All awhile, a group of nine travellers banded together to share in this whole experience.
