Join Us For The Most Spiritual Experience On Earth

Posted October 6, 2015

My fellow Rotarians, Fellowship trip: Benares Yatra Get set to inhale the spirituality of Benares! The land of Varanasi (Kashi) has been the ultimate pilgrimage spot of Hindus for ages. Often referred to as Benares, Varanasi is the oldest living city in the world. These lines by Mark Twain say it all: “Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” Hindus believe that one who is graced to die on the land of Varanasi will attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the origins of Varanasi are as yet unknown. But the Ganga in Varanasi is believed to have the power to wash away the sins of mortals.
