Birth and Death are words we chose to describe the doorways in and out of a cycle. This cycle is connected to a larger cycle which awaits our return. It is all just like breathing. Remove the fear and judgement to recognise the same pattern as a principle everywhere.

Walk with us through the city of learning & burning and experience Varanasi the concept of life, death and rebirth: when it is known as ‘Mahashamstana’, "the great cremation ground" of Shiva.
