Vrindavan, Most Sacred Place in INDIA 🇮🇳| The 5.000 Temples City!

We have been in India for a few weeks now.
We are learning more and more about this rich culture. You will understand the spiritual principles and sacred places that are so linked to everyday life in this country.

So if you want to know more about India, make yourself comfortable, grab something to drink and keep watching.
We were in India, at a very special moment. During this month, Indians make a pilgrimage and chant mantras with every step they take. They use the stones to mark where they are and it is really impressive.
We arrived at a very important place for Hindus. Kusum Sarovar is considered one of the sacred spots that witnessed the pastimes of Hindu deities Radha and Krishna.

It's magical because you hear how everyone chants mantras at any time.
At one stop we were able to drink some fresh orange juice, but to be honest, it's not the best juice in the world. A few minutes later we were able to play with some cows.

And as you may know, vegetarianism is very common in India. ​​Vegetarianism is a dietary ideal among many Hindus, based on the concept of ahimsa—which means, non-violence and compassion towards all living beings. It is also considered sattvic, which means that it purifies the body and mind.
​​This was a very hard day since we spent more than 6 hours walking. It was an incredible experience since one can connect with the deepest things. It was one of the best days.

Brahma Muhurta is often referred to as the 'creator's hour'. The Brahma Muhurta is a segment of time before dawn. It starts approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes before sunrise and can change according to the different seasons. The Brahma Muhurta is considered one of the best times to start a new yogic practice or meditation. It is perfect for deep spiritual practices.

Although sadly this river is very polluted, the Yamuna river is closely associated with Lord Krishna, one of the most important deities in Hinduism. Krishna spent his childhood and youth in the region along the Yamuna's banks (Vrindavan and Mathura). Yamuna is highly venerated in Hinduism in the form of a river and as the goddess Yamuna. The Yamuna is considered a river of heaven and according to Hindu mythology, the Yamuna is the daughter of the Sun God.

We had a delicious meal at a temple in Mathura but I started to feel sick and that's why I left. India is a wonderful country but if you don't live there, it is likely that your body is not used to the air, water and food. Therefore you have to be very careful.
I'm definitely too shy to do theater and even without lines I was very embarrassed. Here I was so happy to finally finish this theater. But honestly it was an incredible experience, where I got to know better the pastimes of Hinduism and met wonderful people. And after that we went to sleep.

Important information: you cannot go to the Taj Mahal on Fridays. It is closed to the public since it’s a day of prayer. So we went to a playground to spend the afternoon. Afterwards we went to a beautiful temple and we were able to listen to beautiful mantras.
