गंगासागर मेला | Episode 09
Ganga Sagar Mela is an annual pilgrimage and festival held at the confluence of the Ganges River and the Bay of Bengal in Sagar Island, West Bengal, India. It attracts millions of devout Hindus who gather to take a holy dip at the sacred site, believing it cleanses them of sins. The event combines spirituality, cultural performances, and vibrant rituals, making it a significant and colorful celebration.
The Mythological Significance of the Mela
Now, on to the legend of Gangasagar. "Raja Sagar", or "Sagar Raja," the ancestor of Lord Ram and ruler of the Ikshvaku dynasty, decided to perform the Ashwamedha Yagya as directed by Sage Aurva. It was believed that performing 100 Ashwamedha Yagyas would help one gain dominion over the entire earth. Lord Indra (the King of God according to Hindu mythology), the only one to complete the 100 Ashwamedha Yagya, feared that he would lose his ascendancy to a mortal, and hid the sacrificial horse near Kapil Muni’s hermitage.
Seething with anger, Sagar Raja sent his 60,000 sons (Sagar Putras) to locate the missing horse. The Sagar Putras decimated everything in their path and reached Sage’s ashram. Upon discovering the horse, the Sagar Putras mistook the sage for the thief and started hurling abuse at the meditating sage. The ensuing commotion hindered Sage’s tapasya. Enraged, Kapi Muni opened his eyes and blazed the 60,000 Sagar Putras into ashes, condemning their souls to hell.
Years later, Angshuman, Sagar Raja's descendant, discovered the horse still standing at Kapil Muni's ashram. He performed austerities to please the Sage. Content with Angshuman’s effort, the sage gave his permission to retrieve the horse and learned that the souls of his ancestors could only be freed after performing Shraddhas with the holy water of the Ganges. Although Raja Angshuman and his son Dilip were unable to complete the Shraddhas because Agastya Muni had drunk all the water from the ocean due to a severe drought.
A generation later, King Bhagirath, undertook the task of freeing the condemned souls and prayed to Lord Brahma, the creator, to free his ancestors' souls. He asked him to pray to Lord Vishnu to allow the holy Ganga to ascend on earth. Upon agreeing, he cautioned that the sheer force of the Ganges would wipe out the entire creation if it went unchecked and asked him to pray to Lord Shiva. Shiva agreed to bear the entire force of Ganga on his matted hair. In the meandering labyrinth of Shiva’s hair, Ganga lost her brute force and descended to the earth, gently caressing all existence. Bhagirath was finally able to perform the last rites of his ancestors, liberating the souls from the fires of Patal Lok.
With passing years, the myths turned into legends, legends into stories, and stories into beliefs. The Ganges was also given the name Bhagirathi, after Raja Bhagirath, and the sea got its name "Sagar," after Sagar Raja. And the island, Sagardwip.
Keeping faith in this mythology, millions of pilgrims from across the globe visit the Gangasagar Mela during the freezing hours of Makar Sankranti in search of Moksha. A dip in the holy water is thought to wash away all sorrows and sins. With this belief, millions visit the Kapil Muni ashram, chanting the hymn "Sab Tirth Bar Bar Ganga Sagar Ekbar."

What is Melodies of India?
Magic Monkey, a new age travel KZread channel travelled and explored by Raunaq Sahni is thrilled to announce an extraordinary and ambitious project.

YES !!! A MUST MUST VISIT PLACE
I was a unsocial person who used to stay at home most of the time for a strange kind of anxiety. But I just broke my inner barriers. Watching u doing long train journeys alone into unknown places with unknown people, I felt that I too can make it possible for myself. This transformation didn't happen overnight though. Finally I went to my dream destination Isha Yoga Center Coimbatore straight from Howrah, West Bengal to chennai to Coimbatore, by train. I made it Because U and Sadhguru inspired me and showered light and clarity upon me just like that, enabling me to that extent. Love you. Hope to see you visiting Isha Yoga Center one day because that is a place which is trying to preserve Indian culture , mysticism and spirituality to its authentic form. Also you will see lots and lots of youth which is definitely going to surprise you.. if anyone have gone through my long rant, I appreciate your patience 😂

Love❤ from West Bengal Police community, this GANGASAGAR MELA is also a mammoth task for West Bengal Police and government. Glad to know that you covered this huge get together. Best wishes for your upcoming journey 🎉
Started this series this morning, never knew it would touch my heart
Great series Raunak. Loving it!!
I m from west bengal staying outside and it really feels nostalgic after watching this Gangasagar video. You have covered it very well I know hw it is hard to capture moments from huge amount of crowd. You are doing incredible work. Big support 💪💪 for you work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a heart-wrenching reality in West Bengal that Hindu devotees, embarking on sacred pilgrimages like the one to Gangasagar, are met with a disheartening lack of even the most basic infrastructure, deeply impacting their spiritual journey. 😔

It's a style in northern belt in India to make comments against WB, it's BJP effect. You don't know most of the people are more from northern India in Gangasagar and they make every place bad.

Dear Raunak, I am following you from your initial days before the 100 days of dreaming. Your videos are a treat to watch, sometimes things don’t pan out as we want. Kudos to you for your effort and the hard work you put in. For us, it is a 10-15 mins output but the effort is much beyond.
Loved the episode
Shandaar ek number
चिरंजीव रौनक, मैने बार बार एक चीज कन्फर्म की है की आपके thought process मे transperancy है। आपके विचार बहुत ही पारदर्शक है। आप जो मेहनत कर रहे हो , शत प्रतिशत आप को उंच स्तर पर लेकर जा रही है। ईश्वर का साथ हमशा आप के साथ है । थकान आपके चेहरे पर दीख रही है, फिर भी आप मे जो उत्सह (enthu) उससे वो भाग जाती है। नर्मदे हे । हर हर महादेव । जय श्रीराम ।
Dear Raunak Bhai, I am from West Bengal and lots of love from my worm heart foe making this particular video and shows the biggest festival of our Bengal to India❤❤ I know this is not your best work as of now but at least you tried so hard and make it happen which no one try to show.

We understand Raunak bhai ❤. I think you're the only youtuber who thinks this much about better content sharing . You tell your subscribers that this video is not much better. No one do that, no one accept that . That's why we love you bro ❤❤ My experience about your videos is what you make for us and what we see and know about India through your videos is the best feeling for us. Only you can show like this. Biggest fan , love from bihar (Jamui)❤🫶
Your stories are warm and beautiful ❤

Your hard work is clearly visible. Travelling to such extent, navigating through such crowd where one can easily feel anxious, and claustrophobic is tough. The effort you put is really commendable. Travelling alone yet shoot like other is filming you is also appreciable. Kudos to your work.

Quality!!🤌🤌
You are definitely pushing the limits of the internet's content ❤
After watching full video, i was in a deep thought and suddenly this comes from my heart: Bhai, aapke Tanha wali baaton me sachha toi hai - tanhaai mein rehna toh chahte hain, lekin har baar aapki video dil ko jeet leti hai. Aapki baatein, muskurahatein, aur awaaz, sab kuch ek kahani ki tarah goonjti hai. Aapki dhun, gulon ke raaz ko khulta hai, aur har pal, har tasveer, ek khaas kahani ka hissa ban jaata hai. Aapki videos dil ko chhoo jati hain, jaise koi rangin sair, aur tanhaaiyon ko bhula deti hain - ek pyaara sa saath ban jaata hai :)

Life is random and you experience the random to make us feel what random is, while us lying on the bed commenting in such beautiful video can just think of experiencing such random world. But I know that hardwork pays off and someday I will also get to experience this random life. Your videos are like fuel to my hardwork, the more I watch the more I get motivated to work. Hope whoever reading this comment finds peace. Jai GANGA mata ki 🙏
you are doing great work..keep going we are there with u 💗💗

I am in New York right now. The videos that I watch of you, make me wanna leave everything and start an excursion of India. But, I am a coward.
