I would love a book on Krishna from Amish.
A Krishna Trilogy is being written by Sanjay Dixit.
Krishna Gopeshvara is available on Flipkart, Amazon and other such sites.
Krishna Yogeshvara would be out soon (around November 2019).
Krishna Gyaneshvara is yet to be written.
You can also read main Krishna hoon by Amit Trivedi it's a seven series book ..and it is one of the best books ...must read..hare Krishna
Always pleasure to listen to Amish as he unveils many forgotten wisdom from our great ancient culture!
I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my account password. I love any help you can give me
@Baker Alec instablaster =)
@Dwayne Collin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dwayne Collin It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Baker Alec you are welcome :D
Due to left historians ... We lost every thing which is ours....
Amish....you are awesome 👏
Please write books for 4-6 age group.....making ethically strong basic foundations of our children......and consequently making adbhut INDIA 🇮🇳
*Sia war ram Chandra ki jai*
*Jai bajrangbali*
Hope the Indian left leaning intellectuals have watched this video clip, if not pl do for introspection instead of blaming Nationalists....
You can't say india is chandravanshi. India urges for balance like lord shiva both feminine and masuline should be in equal proportion.
Absolutely fascinating & interesting discussion. I especially loved the way he described the current corruption in the Chatur-Varna system of Bharat.
Exactly! Indian culture is the greatest of all, and I, being a Westerner, adore Mahabharata and Ramayana. India has so much to offer to counterpart despotic and oppressive China. Go, India
Samhita Arni is better writer than amish in every sense. This man is fucked up. He usually gives examples through pic n choose then generalizes it. poor audience.
Better than Rajiv melhotra's bullshit. 👍
What ever caste you are ? I don't think people of the lower casts or the "untouchables" have a fond opinion of your "stories"
I admire his wisdom so much. He is an amazing author, absolutely no doubt at all!
"there is something to be learned from everyone. . . there is nuance in everything" (46:00)
Well said about ideal state, state must do small things like provide healthcare, good education, law and order... Must not interfere with society like beef ban, religious subsidies etc.
Unfortunately BJP is also trying hard to maintain caste system based on birth.
It's always a pleasure to view interviews of Amish. Although the host looks highly incompetent in questioning and getting details from Amish. Had someone else interviewed, the interview would have been more fun.
Sir write please on Srikrishna
It wil be best to teach our kid in primary small small story from ancient Indian Purana
Which gives us moral lesson at the end
28:00 🙏👍 Jai Shree Ram...
The interviewer whoever she is, is only reading from the paper! And looks like she is fighting with Amish.
She is known leftist.
tis guy must be our president.
Please don't say Lady Sita, use Devi. I wonder why English doesn't have feminine form of Lord
This discussion is about relegion, and the people who learned knows better, i think he can be correct at 19:55,may be the cast systems might be a classification on certin responsibilities, it might be evolved as parent to child throughout the years from an initial or from a 'some point' time/people.
Ravana, in tha Jain version is a kind of a demigod( Vidyadhar).
Ravana's actions were in keeping with his culture and community.
There is even a Karbi (a tribe from Northeast India) Ramayan.
I love Amish's Pop quizes
The Jain version says that Vasudev Laxman killed Baldev Rama .
Did he say Inshallah at 4.00? 🙄
Nothing wrong...nothing right... if u understand the definition of allah it's similar to the definition of bramhan
@@safsidhibaat not really
@@prakashtiwari8003 it's actually true....m not saying actions in the name of allah is right ...I said the definition that Qur'an says is somewhat almost equal to bramha in Vedas or I would say vice versa....problem is not allah ...problems r the people who do criminal things by following book that uses allah
Amazing 54:00 👍👍👍
Awesome 🤘 Why only Shakespeare?
The lady who snatched the mike is totally a mad lady
This man is a true gem!
Amazing that the audience are not readers of their own literature..... sad reflection on their education..... so much wealth of literature.... the greatest and most diverse in the world ..... they know little about their own inheritance
I was actually so impressed with how many people in the audience had read the (very lengthy!) epics, and the many who were familiar with the very specific details related to ancient texts - in the questions that Amish asked the audience. That so many people attended this talk shows for me a great interest in and enthusiasm for the ancient literature of India, especially among young people today!
I have not read Sita.
The mic lady was so rude.
Awesome ending...👏👏👏
Wow 25:45 👍
Resist fascist and extremist BJP/RSS with wisdom. Good point Amish...
Extremists are few, those who read texts automatically become liberal
