Puri - Bhuvaneshwar - Kolkatta - Kasi

Kasi, or Varanasi as it is commonly known today, was the center of rituals, and a phenomenal tool created for spiritual growth. Yogi and mystic, Sadhguru, looks at the lore and science behind some of its main rituals. There is a story of how, when Shiva was about to come to Kashi, king Divodasa did not want him to enter the city because he knew if Shiva was there, he would not be the single point of focus anymore. He said, “A king can rule the city only if everyone looks up to him only. If you want me to rule the city, Shiva should not come. If he comes, I will leave.”
