People live and die in it(James 1:26-27)

In Varanasi nothing matters but Varanasi. For Uhuru, the rest of the world did not exist. Uhuru loved the prayers, singing and chanting that took place in the city.

 

“There is a fierceness of devotion, but there is also a kind of jolliness that I did not expect,” Uhuru murmured.

“That is why I enjoy visiting this place.  Most people come here to pray and see and live and believe,” Paavai warmly responded.

 

Uhuru remained present and aware. “Religion is a reality here, people live or die in it.”

 

“But mostly they live in it,” Paavai said as she finished Uhuru’s sentence.
