The word "Kashi" literally means to be luminous, or more particularly, a tower of light. Kashi is older than legend. Nobody can ever decipher the date of this place. When Athens was not even thought of, Kashi was. When Rome did not even exist in people's minds, Kashi was.

this little human being can have the phenomenal possibility of uniting with the cosmic reality and knowing the pleasure, ecstasy and beauty of becoming one with the cosmic nature.

There have been many such instruments in this country, but to create a city like this is a mad ambition - and they did it thousands of years ago. There were 72,000 shrines, the same as the number of nadis in the human body.

The whole process is like a manifestation of a "mega human body" to make contact with a larger cosmic body. It is because of this that a whole tradition came up that if you go to Kashi, that is it.

You do not want to leave the place because when you get connected to the cosmic nature, why would you want to go anywhere else?
Generally, the legend says that Kashi is on the top of Shiva's trishul or trident, not on the ground.
