Salvation

Consciousness often serves as a pathway to salvation, as it represents the deepening of awareness, wisdom, or a spiritual connection, leading to a state of liberation, fulfillment, or divine unity, depending on the tradition. Whether it's through faith, self-realization, or mindfulness, the cultivation of a higher state of consciousness seems to be key in achieving salvation. Varanasi ghats are deeply connected to the Hindu belief in salvation (moksha) through rituals, cremations, and spiritual practices. They serve as sacred spaces where life, death, and the divine are intimately intertwined, and where the ultimate goal of liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth is believed to be within reach
