A spiritual consultant and healer from Ghana, Devarishi Das Asamoah, journeyed over 9,000 km to Gaya, India, to perform essential ancestral rituals.

He shared his belief that performing these rituals invokes blessings for current and future generations, stating, "If you honor your ancestors, your children and grandchildren will honor you." Guided by local preacher Loknath Gaud, Asamoah engaged in the traditional practices and sought to understand their deeper religious significance. The spiritual atmosphere and religious traditions of Gaya left a profound impression on him.
