the, the, the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed. if the care we subscribe to those channels. we've got here it is. every friday, subscribe to plan. it's a good one on a c. india's holy city,

the use of hindus believe whoever dies here will be saved so much for us. that's the celebration. here i meet people who make a living from dying lots of another game before you. i dreamed of studying, i'm leading a better life. it's not having to do this job for those sites in but honestly i'm pushed to my limits the but i also meet people with incredible strength. i've never really afraid the and i learned that dying doesn't have to be a terrible thing. the question should make that the,

the a few years ago i lost my mother. it took me quite some time to process her desk. i was offering extremely sad. it said that here in this hospice in but honestly, death is approached very differently. it's known as the by one house of salvation. the only country to be is a priest you at the by one the he begins

these rituals early in the morning. the usually the priests would carry them out in private. an exception has been made for me to be present while the applies hold the ash to a stone through the process. the stone becomes the symbol of a hindu. god. yeah, but he will. he i the people who come to us are seeking salvation guests. believe that if they die and are honestly, they can escape the cycle of return and reverse. we accompany them by playing songs . i'm giving them basel die and water from the kansas said on, if i'm negative is i? can you explain to me again, the main route, woods of multi button and why you have these woods? and that is the name that up. how do i get to people who come to us have 15 days to die? the only thought was seeking salvation should come here, insides,

images that no one should stay here for free accommodation for months. no, man, that's the only i am here is salvation that he's actually on a and most security at the most about anybody by some of the 15 days to die. to me, that sounds almost stressful. like having a clock ticking for your final brands. but devout hindus don't seem bothered by it . the are all 10 rooms full sometimes. huh. for the system. yes. of course. sometimes all the rooms are occupied with some of september or october. all the rooms are really full. the yeah. hey, so this is the room. yeah. who room has met the yes, exactly this is it just that we have 2 beds and talk to one for the person seeking

salvation and one for the person accompanying them. sometimes more family members come up now, then we laughed mattresses on the floor. and what were your most hearted at their own? was the 18 but with the votes, that's the room only costs $0.20 a night. and why is it so cheap? i visited the chattahoochee that are missing. people basically stay here for free. we only charge $0.20, so that's not too much electricity is used to be heard that the necessary and the low amount is also to remind them they shouldn't stay here with us. and definitely the room is really just meant for moving into sufficient or not. it should it be so the director for me so you know, kind of the, to me it seems rather sparse, almost stereo,

the complex. and yet for many, it's the best thing to die right here in a completely unfamiliar environment without any comfort, some for the future. i'll meet another person whose final wish is to die inside. honestly, it's an encounter that will touch me deeply. the core, devout hindus thought honestly, is a very special city. it's here that one of their principal deities, she is said to reside the india, as long as the river also flows through here, the ganges. for many hindus, it's the physical manifestation of the goddess gund. it's believed that the eating

and again jesus can help wash away all sins. the young this is to are said to be cured with just one sip of the holy water. the one body also believes in the power of the river for over 50 years. he's been growing on the ganges. i'm gonna say hello, how are you? yeah. how they're both very well and that's how i've come out here. what's your name? my name is ron bonnie, that i'm not modeling oliver. ron rom is a god. body stands for the monkey guard. the monkey room is an especially powerful god that all

run by the is 73 years old. he spent his whole life in. but honestly, he tells me that he owes all his energy and health to the ganges. come pick up here and you sometimes drink the water as well. me. he thought, oh, yes, of course. yes, dick know, even now this one department, now he's drinking the water. is the water divided water totally water. what do you like? the studies have shown how polluted the ganges can be, and around us the water is so toxic that fish can barely survive. here though, the science seems to play a less important role than face the

i'm, you know, got a person must have based in the ganges at least 3 times, like the kindred. once off the bus, i'll be coming. for the 2nd day of the 2nd time off to the wedding each and i'm just the it after dad as the dates, the jess is ever present on the ganges sometimes even with corpses floating in the water, the good good to me. i get the bottle and things like that done with all the man to shrink. i'll just keep growing body. we've got, it's just a body. the soul has long since left the cord that made a go. after we die, a bottle that snapped isn't lifeless bounty. i money, i have the money but it isn't a surprisingly silver thought for me. i find it hard to separate the body from the essence of the deceased.

i visit the place where most bodies are cremated in veranda. see the money kind of got the smoke, the smell, and what i see over whelmed me, the gas is visible everywhere the there's no attempt to hide the burning bodies organs for charged limbs. the for this man, it's all part of everyday life. cremating corpses is patrick cozy,

chilled high res job the data outside of the get a full size bed with 33 years old now side when the time the 1st came here, age 13, and they cut the lead today, burns may be 4 or 5 corpses. a year upon me body i later became more i washed a dad in the country. so you know, they look very different here. but then when i went to the simple net, correct, they're not, but i basically work all the time that the phone cut in. if i don't do the job, who will let me take care of everything points a job near the job and they did die knowing what otherwise job monitoring and then they job related that it must be tough. the

jacuzzi is a member of the dumb cast. one of the lowest in indian society, the earns about 2 and a half euros for a fire. it takes about 3 hours to burn the body, the . they're going to do see that i suppose it's all routine up. cool. no, it's normal for you. go out there high, we have your habits. yes, i'm used to but we would, we still treat the dentist, you wouldn't being some, one of them would even talk to them in town and they maybe did. what do you the, the date, patrick goes, he explains to me or to be buried with dignity. during breaks, he gets into the ganges, where the ashes of the distinct star scattered the

door. here he looks for valuables. sometimes he gets lucky as he has now finding a chain. the dog in the murky, polluted water, he can barely see where he is stepping. the i cut myself with this glass here, best to throw it away. but it's hard for me to comprehend the conditions. patrick cozy has to work under and i haven't mence respect for what he does, the

i wonder if he would prefer another job. nicholson to allow me that of course i would like to follow another profession to work here means a lot to me though my god gave me the opportunity of a new job and i wanna take it otherwise i'll stay here and see if i'm in touch cause he has 3 children. it's his wish for them not to have to one day work here at the money. connie car got i'll meet him again in a few days. then he'll tell me, is plans to create a better future for them the

at 6 am i receive a message from the hospice. they wanted me to come as quickly as possible. so gone and looked about one has been empty. uh, something to get out of it. we just received call from the owner saying that a person arrived last night from the admins. he wants to die right here inside on a seat. not enough to stay on the on the fact that they've asked if we want to come and talk to the family. so we're on our way there now. you know, i'm tempted to make of him the, i have great respect for the chance to meet a dying person and to their family. the some 20 family members are taking care of the elderly man. i'm suddenly and

certainly if we should even be here, we are doing a movie about the best in that and i see them is it okay if we talk to you, if you like, look how you would deal with a one situation? is that okay for your help with today? i'm it, i found a problem, a to kind of use be happy to share with people who may be don't know, much about religion and show them how we approach this difficult situation problem . they can learn that they're sick, man is his father in law. his name is shree, low connect to body, he's 82 years old and can only breeze with the help of a ventilator. he can't see anymore.

everything is doc this but simply it's odd for us baby with a month of he is really in a critical condition. countries that we can the whole family quote, are you happy that yours? you invite? honestly not see me here. not a very happy little very, very happy to be called your peace blessing is always with us because everybody, because i have my simple math, but we thank you for talking to us in this difficult time. i am here, you know, you came to us and the answer to that is really kind of you feel like the so much the,

the service is so far. this has been for me the most extreme situation. we have sound he's a mean, it's been the this family, naturally concerned for a family member who is about to die has done the less welcoming us into their circle out of the bias shabby on dealings thoughts in the indian kind of wants to show us how their culture works and how they deal with death. getting a quote to have someone send me an amazing that them told indian the

i ask one of his sons tundra to body. why it was important enough for the whole a family to travel to bad. honestly. young who were you to take you to live with daddy guy? somebody except today when my father ties, i can i want to install a happy you know, i want to have a family to be that jammed up until now. he's been stuck in the attendance cycle. every but the pacific dining here in toronto. you should finally break that. sorry, cool. we die, put a not me daughter. i see that you got to look to you when my mother was about to die of health. very, very sad. i feel like you people are sad, but also happy at the same time. is that right? i seen the root, the looks of it as soon as i was caught on tape son scott, i'm on a deputy. so my s death is a celebration for us. it's one of the most important rituals like about

a marriage. we celebrate that is at least so much behind you, so much pain. taking him to isn't god talk about let being 8400000 different life forms to be on my on the phone as a human is to be blessed by god. children not to luck on me as a human can you achieve salvation? the sun, the deep brought up, the sun just knew betterment the sort of the same model that if you missed the chart because you have to go through the entire cycle again. and then i'll probably do little with that. i don't, but not in that you. when did you decide that he would come here to about and see and how did you organize that the whole assembly and as i go to ask him the next question, it suddenly goes dark. he's got to stay among his kind of slaves, a power outage here, which of course, isn't terrible because the ventilator for his father has now stopped in stands

for the 1st time, the room grows restless. it seems as if death is become more real, more tangible for the family. the i suspect the family would prefer to be alone for the time being the on the banks of the ganges. i need the seller rum ja das whose families lived in. but on a see for 7 generations, the

g was so close to me, money kind of got what kind of people do you need to? do you mean sad people? do you mean people that i happy it that they are relates has passed away here in about and i see what kind of impression do you get from the people here. there's one gun. god forbid of id. i've seen many people who have just lost a loved one. come to my 2 shots as though it's often the case of the saddle. cried peter. the little comment of yeah, so if we cut them up, we tied, you might have some struggle with losing their father. the mother, right. let us know how the family members of in my love, it just doesn't matter. they, how can you come for these people? do you would try to give them some comforts to your food through your teeth, through talking. how do you do it? yeah, but us out on zillow, whatever they put it, i remember the people tell me about their problems. i explained to them the gold

has given each of us a new set number of days. people are always looking for money, your happiness. everything from birth and death is predestined by god. tell them there's no reason to cry. i can live happily in peace in mind. everyone has lost someone we loved at some point. oh yeah, that one. is it multiple? yes, everyone has to go some the a separate point. okay. might i add? i never really agree. i add a semi i thought of. yeah. not once again, i'm made aware that death here isn't necessarily seen is something terrible. i ask him if he's afraid of dying himself. he doesn't live in my. yeah. it's always gotten to the i'm not afraid of death. there's no reason to worry, i'll be afraid mark, but one day i will try to draw the embrace that it's best to make friends, right? that is what's on, even on those i level you know, with the

evenings in but honestly every day a ceremony to honor the ganges is held on the river bank. the thousands of worshippers gather here. the spiritual significance of the city holds means of many can make a living here. the job is 9 years old. each day, her mother paints her up as the he knew the chief, the, her family,

including a 5 year old brother has been homeless for some time. the mazda of the, i need, you know, kind of what i mean. i don't have a husband. that's why we live here on the river bank. so we came him mainly because of my heart condition. i give you guys to earn at least a little money off the line. you can just we would like to have a room, but we can't afford it. how did you get the idea of her walking around, dressed as a lot cheaper? not the a lot of people suggested it to me, you know, i know they told me to have no husband and you need to how to operate action by simply your daughter could walk around us. chiva does not need about 500 or 600 yours for the operation up so that the so we're trying to get the money this way. for example, the,

the contract collects around 500 rupees in one day, a little over 5 years. and again, i feel bad about it, but i can't see any other way. once i have enough money for the operation, i'll stop sending her out one from one of them. what does your daughter say? she seems like a happy child that she sometimes complain that she understand what she's doing their life as i know she never complains who's got a she does a lot for me yet. she always tells me i live only a few lives. that's why she's collecting money from my operation. the

every afternoon follows the same routine, the after applying makeup con john mean goes with the tourist, hoping to bring home as much money as possible. i send me money and i will attach but just gives me $0.50 but don't have that much and i'm just. * give it to me now for the the stuff that the yeah, the golf show. i think that's enough. no, i'm not taking that. take this $0.20. yeah. this over to the,

to the congo has collected just under for yours a know for a little food for her family, but not enough to save for the operation the, the, but i don't feel good about what i'm doing. i'm only doing it from my mother in waco. some people even call me back or last long. i always tell them i'm not the bigger on the day are phone big. mamma them do you sometimes get in dangerous situations or situations that you don't like with them says that i'm going that actually i'm never afraid. i'm only scared at the thought that my mother might die

. i don't want my mother to dine now. the i admired casual strength and i find it terrible that this 9 year old has to deal with death. so early in life, the death and life in the by one, they're close neighbors. a man dies and right next to him, children play the the alongside them. the family of 20 also needs to be taken care of the

on human the ok, the be great. honda got a guy that's life. it shows the young people come here when the doctor says that there's nothing more that can do well. no final wishes to come to go to relax to miss. we're thinking about one cuz i don't know, maybe i never dies here in toronto. see, can consider themselves lucky. i've been said go to the children of course, don't understand all of this. yeah. but they have no, they don't know what's happening here. a guy. oh, yeah. and they would say go with john vine, a focus on monday. have you know, they came with the whole family is stop study by to me. so can, as many people come as they like, i'm here to say comes, are going to the other thing, get me a while at least 2 people should have company and the sick person available. in this case, it's 15 to 20 headed towards sometimes 10 or 15 family members come to that, that those can you avoid them? i never say no. i am here. everyone is offered

a roof over there. had to be somewhere else with in iowa and most of the the, the dying are blessed. 3 times a day. park of the ritual includes drinking a drop of the ganges holy water. the, the the family sees may lead the good for the relative drew up in future to do, hey, is let me go to the bottom. ok. i used to come as

a comes and noticed that will be no rebuff about to leave us. and even though i have never so much pain, you meet people, then pause, play upon and leave with us. there was so much suffering so many illnesses to look at them as a task and brought to see millions freedom from about with anything about the ultimate freedom these easily. you see this is this optimal. see here, how much responsibility do you hear as a son right now in this situation that can lead to this will yet it's also well being a father is a big thing. i will have to worry no matter what i did, it could never be enough. but that could be, this could use, the lender wants to be in line. even if like i have my own skin fan, i'll never be able to replace my father. it's going to be like a middle repay. what he's done for me will never be. i'm so cousin and i'm john booth, or would you guys let me try to explain this to the children that a little it's an evening. we pray and talk with each of the ladies who are doing without the humble hand that were alive well known

to call the staff a every well it's a. c i noticed the family sadness that they will soon lose a loved one. you had at the same time, they're happy and grateful that they have fulfilled his last wish. that he's able to die here in right on i see the or on the banks of the ganges touched cosy. works late into the evening. the bodies are burned here around the clock.

it's a job. the 33 year old never really wanted lots of another game before you tell, but i gotta get me in trouble. i dreamed of studying leading a better life. i was having to do this job here and i have no proper education and i've had many problems. i've tried different jobs, the full time delay got it, and nothing really worked out for me. i'm not spending towards the end. he does not want his 3 children to one day have to risk their own health and the smoke component courtesy where you near the window. when my children have completed their education by google as engineers, for instance, they have a completely different future ahead of the people. they can choose other professions who by john, hurts to see the people who have ended up here. don't be money in the meantime.

like those who are blessed, get better jobs nowadays. she didn't know. i didn't know lots. i knew they don't see the government in that he wants his children to leave the dream that was denied to him. a something i the i got a look at my dream is for them to get an education, so i'm going to become better people who don't have good circle friends if i can support their dreams with a lot of do something. i'll do everything i can to make it happen for lots and lots of rumpled and it's just after 5 am. it's on typically quiet in the by one, the

scientists amongst all the man just passed away 2 minutes and i feel incredibly sorry for the family. i to low because at the same time the media, i believe the family is glad it's over now since for bias on the and that he will hopefully find salvation here. and veronica seems young. those on the housing are. c c the, the,

the present given the, i'm happy for him to push you to the everything for assembly. right? until the last moment to out of i know his family must let go, which getting they brought him here to for honestly knowing this would be the last station of his life fussing. and looking with the cause here, the hold up and then you'll be an investor. instead of going to give you a daddy getting a hunch that the family will gather everything that's needed for the burning of the body, then don't carry the body from here to the banks. up the guns you speak to. they're going to be decorated with want and burned. got it as on the investments. got a got the, the everything has to move quickly. now the soul is to be freed from the dead body.

while the men show to the physical weight, the women stay behind. they're not permitted to participate in the funeral ceremony . the start of the inside. now they're carrying him through the streets of around and see for everyone to see not even a spaces covered. to me, it's very strange. of course it is for everyone else around us. it's completely normal now let me in so tired of my

relatives carried the deceased man's possessions with them. his belongings will be given away. it would bring bad luck to keep them in the family. after his death, the arrival at the banks of the ganges where the deceased is to be burned. in the moment of grief, fixed rituals provide support. before the funeral,

the eldest son of the family has his head shaved, a way to pay respect to his father. in the meantime, firewood for the funeral pyre needs to be organized. it costs about 100 year owes for the $400.00 kilos needed the family places the relative onto the wood themselves. then finally, the fire is ignited. man, the eldest son touches his father's go. 3 times, a symbolic gesture, the scarlet suppose to break open, releasing the soul each

time for the farewells, the i think of the family. what must be going through their minds during the fire for them a 13 day period of morning now begins the

i was invalid on a c for 3 weeks. it was the most intense shoot of my life. it was a period in which i felt sad. thoughtful and at the same time, happy as the sound is often called him. but now when i arrived, i thought to myself, how could anyone want to die here in this crowded, noisy place with the smell of burned bodies in the air everywhere. when get time. now i've at least just some extent developed an understanding of it to 2 minutes. i've learned why people have a more positive approach to death and pulled this shoot has also changed me personally, that i've noticed that my fear of dealing with death has fallen away more and more in depth in a way is part of life, a gland. i find that, oh, really beautiful and reassuring sergeant switching i'm really showing on the, off the waiting on the down the

last to me on my, the you the in the like a month. because the of the, you know, there's embarrassed because it won't get on the break. i mean, they all these back to the single storm. and of course, one moment on the dial for the english jaws. i'm fine. but if they present the whole meant the test to pick that in your biggest while black clinic focused on here in 30 minutes on the dw, it's around 3 times and 3 new tyra's lead is all preparing to retaliate
