It can't change everyone equally ) Everyone has their own story… You can find everything you want in India. At the same time, thoughts are sometimes realized instantly ) A person can accept or reject India – there is no other way. Only people are different, so they accept different things in India. That's how people change in different ways – who chose what, that changes.
It's like asking, ” How does the Internet change people?”. Whoever is looking for something finds it.
If you talk about how you changed me personally..
India sweeps away, erases, deprives everything superfluous, everything alluvial, invented… These can be material things; baggage collected during the life of psychological “souvenirs”; networks and practices of corporations, marketers and other influences of distant and close personalities… Everything remains only the most valuable and important. This important thing is not always pleasant for us. But we have the strength, the time, and the conscious need to deal with it. Sort it out to finally start living in the here and now, and not once upon a time after…
I've been to India four times so far. India is changing people, because there are many truly religious and holy people there. God is one. Saints are more likely to change themselves and the world around them, but believers are also the ones who move the world towards development. Also, the fact that many people in India follow Vedic culture, of course, can not help but catch on and change us for the better. Vedic culture and philosophy in ancient times was spread all over the Earth, and it is based on true knowledge. And knowledge always changes the hearts and minds of free-thinking people. If you want a tangible change in yourself, then find saintly and exalted people who truly follow Vedic culture and philosophy and ask them questions about the meaning of life. And I am glad that there are such people now not only in India, but all over the world thanks to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who traveled around the world 14 times and founded 108 temples all over the world. His sincere followers are already changing the world today. There are two types of holy places in India – dhama and tirtha. Dhamas are places where the Supreme Personality of Godhead was incarnated in one of his Avatars. Tirthas are places where holy personalities were engaged in spiritual life and reached great heights. India is steeped in changing hearts and at the same time preserving traditions, which no other country in the world can boast of, due to globalization, trends and general depressions against the background of ignorant atheism, the root of all problems in the world. Travel to India, especially with your friends who have already been there. After all, the one who saw it can show beauty…
Visiting the country itself will not do anything, in order to somehow change your spiritual world, you need to plunge into ancient Indian culture, for example: visit various monasteries and ancient holy places to get enough of their aura.
Version 1. Any journey changes a person in one way or another. When you look at the fact that the world can be very different, people can live very differently. And in India, that's exactly what it is. I lived there for 2 months, I don't know if this is too much or not, but during this time I managed to understand and love these people, their culture. Although the first impression, which lasted about a week, was only a desire to leave Delhi as soon as possible))) I visited many cities, saw that most people live below the poverty line, in the terrible mud in India, more people have a mobile phone than their own toilet;- ) but I want to note that they smile and enjoy life, they know how to enjoy life, be happy, dream, love no matter what. There is almost no middle class, and if there is, it is not very noticeable in India, there are very rich people and very poor people.
Version 2. I think this is the version for most people. Most people who claim to have been to India have been to Goa. Let me explain the difference. Goa is a tourist state where there are many Russians and other foreigners. This is not quite the same India…And so much changes people such freedom as grass at a low price, which is more affordable than even food in Goa. Low prices for everything, the opportunity to do nothing, relax, do yoga, and so on. Having lived even for a short time in such an atmosphere, you understand how pointless it is to work 24 hours, 7 days a week, in order to buy a car better than that of Sani/Vani.
I had a chance to visit India more than once. I was in the very slums where the Indian millionaire came from. People live in such terrible conditions that it just brings tears to adult healthy men. But they are not discouraged. And it's amazing. Our man, being in such conditions, would have hung up long ago or gone to rob. It was at that time that I said thank you to God for being born in Russia. �There is a change of values.
I had a friend who worked on a construction site in India during the Soviet era, and, oddly enough, he returned without any drastic changes. So it's not a geographical factor.
I have a friend who has never traveled to India in his life, but has changed a lot.
I have a friend who went to India, lived and studied at Sai Baba's ashram for 2 years, and ….. To be honest, I wasn't familiar with it before the trip, and I can't assess the extent of the changes. But he could assess the degree of change in those people who had already studied with him.
My personal conclusion: it's not about India, it's about the training system, the desire to change yourself, and the efforts that a person makes to change himself.
Because people want to change themselves and find the right tools to do so. Someone finds them in India, someone-in Tibet, and someone – in himself. I think you should start your search with the latter.
