I Went to India's Scariest Festival (Only Foreigner)

I just attended India's most extreme festival and I've never seen anything like it before in my life - even after visiting every country in the world! It's a 10-day festival called Dussera, and even though it's celebrated around India - no region is more intense than Tamil Nadu.
It's hard to comprehend what I just experienced - people having exorcisms and going into an unconscious state of trance. And the craziest part? I was the ONLY non-Indian at this festival of 100,000 + people, and this event has hardly been documented - by anyone! Also I appreciated that everyone at this festival was sober - that's how spiritual it was.
What do you think about Dussera? Would you ever attend it? Let me know in the comments down below!

    I got sick for 3 weeks after shooting this video - fever, headache and a lingering cough. I couldn't handle the flames and breathing in the fire, among all of the other chaos that you saw. But to be honest, it was absolutely worth it to experience a festival like this, and I enjoyed being the only foreigner to ever document it!! Thank you, as always, for watching - and stay tuned for next week when I'll take you to Bikaner (Rajasthan) for the final video in my India series!

The sheer intensity of the subject kind of reminded me of an underrated Indian TV series of 2000s, named Mano, Ya Na Mano ("Believe, Or Don't Believe" in English), which showed the events which dealt with supernatural phenomenon. My, your content is getting better and better by everyday! Keep up the good work.

    Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13))

It wasn't a shot at any of the cultures or ethnicities, Africa with it's 1.2 billion people with thousands of ethnic-groups with different cultures."The Indian-Subcontinent" is known that way for a reason, I'd imagine. Nearly 2 billion people, that's incomprehensible levels of multiculturalism and I admire you for it. I'd also imagine there are a LOT of differing, interesting stories coming out of such a historically-rich place. I'd love to visit there some day. My cousins are both half Sri Lankan, part of said sub-continent, and I'd love to visit some day if I can afford it. Honestly I wish you nothing but love and prosperity, peace from Australia ❤

    Islam has the answer. We believe prophets were sent with the same message to all peoples. But later generations deviated from the Prophet’s path and would innovate new practices and beliefs beyond recognition of the original message. All prophets were prescribed with only worshipping the 1 Tru God, prayer, fasting, pilgrimages, giving to charity etc. Islam is the final reminder of the original message and the final book Qur’an is the only scripture which has been preserved since no Prophet will come again. God knows best.

Thank you Drew and best of luck on all of your travels! Can’t wait for whatever adventures you have next! ☺️

    Your christ is a demon himself don't teach us about our religion and beliefs. This festival is to celebrate Shiva the destroyer, who is a shamshanchari and is one of the three supreme gods. Just because our spiritualism goes over your head that does not give you the right to demean our practices. These practices are older than your jesus who you worship.
