Varanasi has long been a sacred destination for those seeking spiritual liberation, with approximately 25,000 end up there each year to attain Moksha. My great-great-grandfather experienced a profound vision or calling in the late 19th century, compelling him to travel to Varanasi and embrace samadhi, a state of deep meditative absorption. Through this deliberate and courageous act of self-surrender, known as prana tyaga, he achieved the extraordinary feat of attaining Moksha, leaving behind a legacy of devotion and spiritual aspiration.
