Harrison GardnerGUEST
So that meant a bit of travel.
Harrison GardnerGUEST
And so I ended up going up into the Himalayas quite a lot and up into Haridwar and Rishikesh and further up the Ganges and spending a lot of time up in that area as well on my way over to Nepal.
Harrison GardnerGUEST
But my work was much deeper than it was broad.
Harrison GardnerGUEST
I I guess, discover Indian culture, which sounds different to what I said before, but it was more like I wanted to be in a place where people were doing something that they believed in and that they worked in with all this history and knowledge of being in that place for so long.
Delson ArmstrongHOST
You know, I've done that a few times before.
Delson ArmstrongHOST
I can tell you from my own experience when I was 16, 17, going into the foothills of the Himalayas, walking from Haridwar to Rishikesh, which is no joke.
Delson ArmstrongHOST
You know, it's at least three or four hours uphill.
Delson ArmstrongHOST
And then walking from there continuously 20, 30, 40 kilometers a day.

And essentially saying that this is something that will kind of purify the jiva and it also acts as a prayas chit, which helps in the process of final assimilation.
AjayPANELIST
A little aside here, apparently in amongst sannyasis, the, you know, if let's say you want to go from Rishikesh to Haridwar, right? They don't talk in terms of it's going to take, it's like 30 kilometers or it's going to take 40 minutes.
AjayPANELIST
They talk about how many Kaivalyas or how many Shatrudras it would take to get from point A to B.
AjayPANELIST
So they keep doing the Parayanam.

During the last few years, I traveled a little and would like to tell my readers something about my country.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Once I went on a Hindu pilgrimage to a place called Haridwar.
speaker_0NARRATOR
In my book, Nine Ideal Indian Women, there is a story about Sati.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Near Haridwar is Sati's birthplace, an old palace now in ruins, and this I and my third sister went to see.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Among the ruins are said to be dozens of cobras, but they do not hurt anyone.
speaker_0NARRATOR
We sat on the steps that led down to the river and had a little service.
Robert SvobodaGUEST
One is Brahmacapala in the Himalaya near Badrinath, just below Badrinath.
Robert SvobodaGUEST
One is Haridwar, one is Varanasi, Banaras, Kashi, and the fourth is Gaya.
Robert SvobodaGUEST
And many people consider that Gaya is the most important location, though I have performed Sharada at Gaya three times, and I will say that my experience is that the challenge with Gaya is that the priests there have performed their rituals accurately, and and assist the ancestors to let go of a lot of the desires that they had and therefore move on.
Robert SvobodaGUEST
But it does not seem to me that the priests there know what to do with all of that karmic and astral baggage that is being deposited there.
RaghunathHOST
Come on.
Kaustubha DasHOST
They spoke in, in, uh, Haridwar.
RaghunathHOST
We're gonna be there.
Kaustubha DasHOST
Okay.
Sujit NairHOST
So therefore, possibly there were some checks and balances.
Sujit NairHOST
what happens if the bjp agent goes to a bjp run state government and then offers the 75 forms would these 75 forms be taken without questioning that is the question that one needs to ask and that is the danger we are facing this is jarkhand now news laundry did another investigation now let me take you through the news laundry investigation News Laundry investigation says that nearly half the objections of the electoral role in Haridwar's Jabrera constituency came from 35 people.
Sujit NairHOST
All of them say their names, epic number and signatures were used in a fraudulent manner.
Sujit NairHOST
In Uttarakhand's Jabrera constituency, 35 people listed as applicants in 1,657 objections to the draft electoral roll says that they never filed them and their identities were misused.
