Why Ben Baba from Switzerland is so much famous?
Ben Baba used to earn about 10 euros per hour in Switzerland by web designing and other IT services. Baba has everything like home, car and a luxurious life, but his heart’s contentment was amiss. Baba declares that he read about Indian culture and yoga, and left Switzerland to pursue a spiritual path.
Baba told that in the journey to reach here, whoever gave them whatever food he ate that to satiate his hunger. It is being told that Ben Baba speaks very good Hindi, but remembers Gayatri Mantra and Ganga Aarti by heart. . Sometimes he is seen walking on the banks of the Ganges. Baba remains barefoot not just while walking, but all the time. Barefoot, he reached Haridwar after 25-days of walking from Kangra, Himachal.
Such stories are extremely inspirational as it epitomizes how inner peace is most important. Just like Ben Baba who had everything including comforts of life, but he gravitated towards peace. Keeping his feelings ahead of comfort was a motivation. Let us tell you that this Ben Baba, who hails from Switzerland, has walked a distance of six and a half thousand kilometres.

Ben says happiness can never be brought with money. Happiness comes from yoga and meditation. Now he has left his old life behind and is rooted in spirituality and yoga. Ben is a nomad and doesnt not believe in owning things.
He neither has the money nor his whereabouts. When he feels tired of walking during his journey, he stops and find a place to rest for the time being.
On the journey, People who give him things to eat, he fills his stomach by eating those without having a choice of his own. People also jokes that he can speak Hindi better than Sonia Gandhi, who has been living here for amuch longer time than Baba Ben.

Ben Baba is more inspiring than virtually any modern day spiritual leader. Koti koti pranam…….my hand is already hurting. Ben Baba’s feet are not hurting
Highly inspired by the determination of Ben. He is so devoted to spiritual search that one marvels. Not a joke, walking barefoot from Switzerland to India. I salute him. He is 29 and me 60. Will Ben consent to become my son so that I wash his feet. I believe many of my bad karma will spontaneously get washed away instantaneously. My Deepest heart felt blessings to this child – Great Ben
