Varanasi A Cosmic City...
What is a cosmos? The question arises when somebody talk about Varanasi as a cosmic city. The cosmos itself is a well ordered universe whose functional is pre determined by the law of nature. One aspect that we miss here is the energy it requires to function; it should be self generated or produced and sustainable which don’t destroy anything.
When we talk about Kashi as a cosmos in western world scientific terms it’s about a well planned city which was developed in ancient time that shows few of its miracle at times even today. But in Indian texts the Kashi is believed to be a cosmic city.
On the basis of energy it produces we can prove its cosmic nature but how to define it is difficult but see it’s very simple from time again and again weather you wish or not Kashi calls upon energies that it’s cosmos requires. Millions of devotees wish to die here for salvation even foreigners but few of them gets; the resign behind is again the energy. Stories are numerous where people have tied themselves to die here but couldn’t find one.
The question arises, why? Is it so auspicious or it’s the cosmic energy which decide who will die here or not. Anyhow if it’s true someone decides who will die or not that maybe called the God. And being a cosmic city this city that will get their final resting here in Varanasi.
There is much more to research on this cosmic nature of the city but god knows when it will show the path to find this one to me.
