India is indeed a sacred land, a path to heaven/enlightenment. Thank you mother India for giving the world the gift of spirituality. People who are born in India are lucky. I hope to find my way to India's timeless spirituality, no matter which part of the world I'm born into in all my lives.

@@another8125 LMAO whatsapp news conspiracy theorist, who tf said India is funding LTTE???? You understand that India supports Sri Lankan government right? That's how rajiv gandhi died, he was assassinated by a LTTE member. Anyways, LTTE is solely based on Tamil liberation against Sinhalese regardless of religion. So stop spewing Hinduphobic conspiracy theories and start FACT CHECKING 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I have done the pilgrimage three times and wish I could afford to do it again. I visited all of the sites and found many changes over the years. The fortress built around the traditional site of the Buddha's birth came into being after my first visit. At Bodh Gaya the excavation pit which contains numerous stupas was also filled at night with tens of thousands of butter lamps. The first time I went I travelled by car with Shantum Seth who afterwards began leading tours of the sites. He's very knowledgeable, is a Buddhist and in my mind he's a Bodhisattva. He can turn 10 strangers into 10 friends in a couple hours. If you want to go, travel with him. Some of the sites, if you catch them wrapped in mist, will virtually transport you back to the time of the Buddha.

@@djmuscovy7525 Buddha is worshipped as 10th avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu by Hindus. Religion is a foreign phenomenon to India, there is no strict distinction into believers and non-believers. What Indians have been doing is accepting wisdom from all sides, that's why you see a Hindu doing Buddhist Vipassana or bowing down to Bhagwan (God) Guru Nanakji, founder of Sikhism or to Lord Mahavir, founder of Jainism. And this works both sides, many Sikhs will be visiting Hindu temples, Jains celebrating Hindu festivals, in fact Buddhists monks doing rituals in Hindu temples etc. You must have seen in many ashrams worldwide, there is an idol/picture of Jesus Christ, coz religious conquest has never been a thing in India.
