      I hope you did not miss Mt Abu it is truly fascinating. Abu road station is where you get off. You cant avoid the 1 hr ride which itself is quite picturesque.

      I wonder how any of the shop/ stall owners can make a living with so many of them. You mention yoga sometimes. Do you practise yoga? Your room must seem like a calm haven after walking through such frenetic crowds and traffic 😅

      Gabe, watching the other half of this video now, just after i woke up.
      At 52:01 it looks like a Hindu or Jain structures that where defaced long time ago.
      Not sure though

      what the westerners dont understand is that this is just 5% OF INDIA …as the tourists just visit the most popular touristy spots /markets etc ..they r bound to be crowded …its like going to DETROIT and complaining about crime 😊😊

      We went to Mount Abu (German). The Jain Delwara temples are unique with their incredible marble carving. And then there is the lake a ruined Fort you can climb with great views and STUNNING sunset views down a really steep cliff. Amazing scenery…should film well… (You are not allowed to film in the Jain temples, but still…) Are you in a hurry? The taxi from Abu Rd cost us about 2000 Rps, as far as I remember. But apparently you can catch a bus or shared jeep.

      Indians are quite curious about people who choose to be unmarried.
      They tend to go out and about with others, as well as live with other people, too.
      Being solitary and living alone is quite foreign to them still.

      5000 years ago Hindi was not invented, Mohenjo-daro used kind of cuneiform. Hinduism had not emerged in its present form during Buddha's time but Brahmanism while Jainism was practiced before Buddhism (563CE) or Hinduism.

      NEVER would I ever drink a bottle of water that I was not dead certain was safe to consume.
      ALWAYS witness anyone who exchanges money and who gives you bottled water. Make sure EVERYTHING is in your line of sight.
      Well-done for choosing not to drink the water.

      Again very nice video about the hustle and bustle of these typical streets. Love the vibrancy in colours of the sari's everywhere, And that musuem was a nice surprise!

      Friend gabriel, your sandle is 3000.00? The shop owner charged you 3000.00 for a pair of sandals? It is absolutely abnormal price. Please bargain again and again and price will come down . otherwise purchase from reputed shop.

      Hey, Gab! I love your videos, particularly those in India. Looking forward to Gujarat – never been there but heading there early next year. Travel well!

      India's European colonizers created these terms- Hinduism Buddhism Jainism in 19th century and called them different religions to divide and rule India. Hinduism Buddhism and Jainism are the same all part of Sanatan Dharma or eternal laws. they are spirituality opposite of religion

      You don't know what your missing here in the states Gabe. Costs rising, housing impossible, growing isolationism, taxes, USA squabbling with neighbors, regular neighbors squabbling too, and Tiger is dating the President's ex-daughter in law. 😄

      Hi Gabe
      The main headquarters of Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University is in Mount Abu, so lots of foreigners go there in order to participate in some spiritual retreat of Raja Yoga meditation.
      And there is also a BK colony of foreigners who live there permanently as well.
      Please visit the main headquarters of BK called Pandav Bhavan, or Gyan Sarovar – Academy fir a Better World, or the Spiritual Museum. 🕉️🌟🕊🌷

      And, Dilwara temple is a very beautiful Jain temple, with 108 yogis meditating and paradise scenes depicted in the cealing.

      You came across replica Harappan seals in the museum @18:52. The seals are very curious objects that come from the Indus valley civilisation that reached to gujurat. When the seals were discovered (maybe not these particular ones)by archaeologists, they were baffled and an excavation ensued. They unearthed a lost city and civilisation that vanished from human memory for 4000 years and human history was rewritten. To this day I believe the scripts have not been deciphered (last I checked!), the seals feature unicorns, animals and other curious symbols that don't relate to other symbols in languages. Very wild indeed. The indus valley civilisations had some interesting sociological aspects which are believed to be peaceful and less hierarchical so that is a heartening discovery to me.
