subah ye banaras

About

Subah-e-Banaras, an early morning collective effort before dawn—more a phenomenon than an event—began on 24th November 2014 with an innovative and pious concept. The initiative was taken by Shri Pranjal Yadav, DM Varanasi, and Dr. Ratnesh Verma, Chief of the Regional Cultural Center, Varanasi, and was further strengthened by Shri Vishak G, Chief Development Officer, Varanasi. Together, they became the founders of Subah-e-Banaras. Later, a committee was constituted to glorify and propagate the celestial moments of Subah-e-Banaras for spiritual development. People from all walks of life came together to carry forward this early-morning effort, experiencing the presence of the Almighty and the grandeur of Nature.

Salient Features

  • A morning in Varanasi, full of life, light, and spiritual essence, celebrating the eternal beauty of nature with Vedic chanting, music, and yoga.
  • A mystic blend of nature’s grandeur and human existence—the rising sun, the golden Ganges, and the glittering ghats inspiring people to chant, sing, and practice yoga.

Come and feel the spiritual fragrance

  1. Come, live with joy forever. Start the day with new hopes, aspirations, and internal strength, inspired by Vedic enchanting of Richas, the enthralling Ganges, Ghats, and vibrant soulful Indian Music in addition to introspection.
  2. Subah-e-Banaras, a phenomenon that has been ascribed to civilization to foster cosmic evaluation and its supramental consciousness. During morning hours, ‘creative energy’ revealed Him after lifting the veil of darkness.
  3. True, no one can see ‘Thou’ with his organic eyes, but everyone can realize Him with the help of a purified intellect and soul. Subah-e-Banaras gives you a golden opportunity to purify your mind and soul.
