This was great at every level. Your sense of humor helped to brighten the discussion of a dark and disturbing topic. I also appreciated your willingness to present different interpretations of the historical evidence, to contradict one another, and to acknowledge the questions that remain unanswered. I even enjoyed the code-switching, which forced me to listen for possible English words and cognates and to note vocal inflection--something that usually happens unconsciously if at all. Most media content I've consumed from India has been extremely superficial, prone to conspiracy theories and misinformation, and more interested in flattering Indian culture than in telling the truth. Even the comment sections have seemed to me to be filled with bots pushing disinformation from state actors and thinly veiled advertising for the media source or for dubious investment advisors, for instance. In contrast, you and your audience are AUTHENTIC. I think that is really important in this era of "fake news" and a general epistemological crisis. So thank you for that!
it is sad that only 8,600 people viewed in the first15 hours, like if the podcast was done by two foreigners then BAM more than a 1,00,000 views by now
this was a really very informative session...really loved it. Also ABhijit's closing remarks..I totally agree...we Indians need to stop being ap[ologetic or defensive all the time and start being factual. We are an exceptional ancient civilization.
I've witnessed the watermelon sacrifice thing. In odisha during durga puja and Kali puja watermelon sacrifice is done as the govt has banned animal sacrifice. But still there are few places fish is sacrificed and fish curry is made out of it as bhog which the people eat afterwards
@@kasper8666 That seems to fit the torture sacrifice instrument Abhijeet mentioned from Odissa or around. That sounded like one psycho king choosing that for punishment not mere sacrifice.
True also there are lot of similarity in religion and rituals of ancient Greeks/Romans and ancient India...which kind of indicates thast ancient cultures were greatly influenced by each other......mainly Greco-Roman and Indian...also there are similarities with other remote civilizations..which shows 1.Human history is much older than what mainstream historians think 2.Ancient world was much more inter-connected than what we think
In my area we do animal sacrifice for rains...i dont know why but its does rain 90% times the day its done.. I asked a person who was my headmaster as well as someone who experienced mystic experiences...he said it rains because the temple is polluted by the sacrifice and the deity causes rain to purify the area...the rain so got is limited is to a few kms only...
You should do some podcasts on: Mauryan Empire Kushan Empire Gupta Empire Kashmir's History Caste and Varna system Buddha and Mahavira Waves of Invasions in India

@@fahimahmed-lg9sh talk about present not past today no one is creating more problems in the world other than Islamic terrorism and christian imperialism.
Takeaway: 1. societies act similar irrespective of race or time given the same socio-scientific environment. 2.

No, durbha grass is not the same as kusha grass. There is a specific mention in Mahabharata where, I think Rishi Lomaharsha, mentions in a story very specifically that someone did a yagya on burbha grass which is not the kusha grass. He said exactly that.
in any Pooja there is either a requirement of Gow Dhan (Giving a Cow away in Charity) or at-least presence of Cow in the hall, Panditji will take small token amount as fulfill of Gow Dhan requirement and just keep a toy cow for fulfillment of second requirement.
There was a person named Raja Ram Meghwal who was sacrificed when building the Mehrangarh fort. There is a nameplate carved in the fort you can see when you visit.
Do you know whole procedure of ashwamedha ?? There is a book "क्या बालू की भीत पर खड़ा है हिंदु धर्म?" In which it is described from every Hindu religious books along with many other topics...
The first China civilizations with writing system the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC to 1045 BC) also during the period of Bronze Age, there are evidence of human sacrifices. In fact, human sacrifices were kept for the purpose of sacrificial rituals. The source for sacrificial humans are from mainly from vassal state, prisoners of war, war slaves and purchased slaves. It was until Qing Dynasty, human sacrificial rituals ended. Apparently since late Zhou Dynasty, human sacrificial slowly ended, human sacrificial were replaced by figurines as seen in Qin Dynasty, but was later picked up by the Ming Dynasty, where childless concubines were hanged and praised for their loyalties.
Brilliant brilliant conversation guys.... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 From a spiritual perspective one can give more precize answers to a lot of your questions but all the answers have an undertone of occult and tantric way of seeing and understanding the reality.
If the ashwamedh Yagya required two wife . Than how Rama is supposed to perform ashwamedh Yagya even if he didn't kick Sita out and if she remain by his side . He didn't had two wives so even with sita he was disqualified. Do the traditions change when the writers of Ramayana conceptualized the story .
Yes, indeed. For instance, 58th chapter of Vayu Purana clearly describes how Vedic corpus evolved into different versions which followed different practices.
Can Abhijit and Kushal discuss about the Shraman and Bhraman cults in India? Also how does Vedic religion differs from Hinduism and it’s countless gods?
Vedic religion doesn't include puja it involves mantra recitations , havans , yagnas where certain animal and at times human sacrifice took place which later became symbolic/metaphorical because people became more ahimsa leaning , this was also the time when already existing shramanic cults of Jainism and Buddhism gained popularity. Puja the very word and concept is non vedic in origin. Puranas accomodate other non vedic cults like shaktism as well. Vedic religion worships nature , more like what it is . Puranas anthropomorphise these deities that represents forces of nature or a god depicting a special attribute. For example Devi Laxmi is potrayed as a human surrounded by gold wheras in vedic religion , vayu need not be represented as a strong human but is worshipped more or less as the way we observe air. Vedic religion starts off as karma kaand and later becomes philosophical. Puranic hinduism is a khichdi of karma kaand , philosophy , legends ( Kathas, at times non vedic ) , worshipping ( puja) ,
Study about tantra. Maybe you will find reason for giving sacrifice. A energy is given in bargain to attain certain energy. A refined tantra energy sacrifice would be self energy sacrifice. ( Prana pratishtha of temple idols) a crude sacrifice would be animal energy sacrifice, primitive tantra sacrifice would be human energy sacrifice. A simple rudimentary example. Without sacrificing the fruit (energy) we won't have energy for ourself. So to open an domestic of energy, we may need a extra energy to crack the door open. So if you don't want to sacrifice your energy, you will substitute it with something close to you. i.e. human in primitive way, a animal or plant based life in crudest way, self energy in refined way. Another example for car lover AIM without sacrificing oil which is burnt at the atler of piston inside the shaft no enery can be produced to move the vehicle. So in my limited knowledge. Think in terms of energy while you look at sacrifice to attain something from someone divine. Without the sacrifice of heat energy of sun or fuel, water won't transform into vapour. Without the sacrifice of energy by water vapour ,won't trun into cloud and henceforth
Abhijit here are two short videos it will only about 15-20 minutes The Equine Digestive System Dr. Ross Teitzel and Ruminant Digestion - Amy Gerhardt. (available on you tube)
Just my hypothesis. Patal lok essentially meant the Americas in our ancient texts. N the kind of sacrificial ritual of roasting the skin off is something that has crept in essentially all the religious textbook descriptions of hell. I mean is there some sort of link in all this?
Good discussion. It took me heck lot of time to get my head around to the fact that not less than 500 years back Assyrian and Babylonians were impaling people l. One of the worst form of torture / slow death one could ever think of.
It was really needed. Becouse once you talk with western people, first thing they will come up with is Sati; becouse they think that west helped East correct it's mistake and hence they are superior and thereby their rule in the east was a project of Progress and civilisation of human kind... the white man's burden. After this podcasts, now i am equipped with logic and arrows which you didn't even tell becouse i am a good listener and i can read between lines.
Isn't there an economic/self serving rational for retainer sacrifice as well? This protects the current "king" as retainers will have incentive to protect the king at any costs. This removes the threat to the next leader from old retainers and they would want to install their loyalists as well.
You stated " Before the Horse regurgitates the Grass" this is not possible as a horse is a mono-gastric (Like a pig ) only Ruminants like ike Cows Buffalos goats seep and deer regurgitate as they have rumen where the grass is stored after gathered by grazing then when they lie down they regurgitate the grass and chew the cud and send it to the true stomach , though it is a grazer The horse has no rumen So you mean some other process than regurgitation.
One key thing that AIM missed is that in Yagna you have to serve the flesh and bloods to Agni. So it's like the bones and flesh were burned. Maybe because of that there is No Evidence / lack of evidences !!
Doesnt matter whether a practice is rare or not.. what matters is whether theological evidence of that practice being performed is present in the scriptures of that particular religion or not..
In Shakht and Devi cultures animal sacrifices or any sacrifices needs to be done in order to keep the deity energized At least that's what I have understood from sadguru videos (he doesn't do it though, he knows other methods to spill life without spilling blood)
@@Wisdom-i1vyes many purana talks about pashu bali to devi.....kamakhya temple is one of such temple where pashu bali still happens....they believe that blood has prana which will increase the energy of that place.
Being from uttrakhand (kumaun) it want say it out loud abhijeet in certain temples of hills ,sacrifice of goats and buffalo (male) too is an integral thing and it's a normal thing up here. Even a temple in Devidhura used to do human sacrifice on raksha bandhan every time . Read about BAGWAL MELA of devidhura.
1:20:12 Moreover, what is the fundamental problematic thing with human sacrifices? That its torturing/killing a human for attainment of higher good/virtue, collectively or even individually, or that its an act of virtue/bravado. The industrial scale othering and genocide that has happened under christianity and islam for the same higher collective good(again revered as an act of virtue/righteousness, fighting the infidels), infact universalised here making it even more dangerous and widespread, easily makes up for the entire history of human sacrifices by ALL the other sects, and then some. No one comes close to them in terms of the death/torture/suffering caused.
One question Sir, what is link between Human sacrifice and cannibalism? I read somewhere that Aztecs cannibalised to supplement protein deficiency in prevalent at that time in Mexico. Further Eskimos indulged indirectly in human sacrifice through forced suicide , due to food shortages. Is it true?
Kushal/Abhijit, I have a doubt, I have heard that to participate in any yaga one should be in grihasthashram and yaga yajaman or the one who is initiating yaga should do along with his spouse. And Rama did Aawa medha yaga but Sitama was not with him by that time. I also have heard the same explanation of this yaga, which is so similar to what Abhijit said. Can you clarify two things? 1) Without spouse at his side, how Rama even started the yaga and 2) Which text describes the mentioned yaga?
Before eating we give food to Agni. Similarly when we want to eat meat during festivity, we offer it to god first to make them happy. There can be multiple different reasons for human and animal sacrifices.

We need to recite auspicious things before a discussion on human sacrifice, seriously.

Most probably the rituals might change but we don't know for sure btw good point.
Good point
I thought the same question...
Maybe exceptions were there
Yes, indeed. For instance, 58th chapter of Vayu Purana clearly describes how Vedic corpus evolved into different versions which followed different practices.
Whole uttarakhand is fabricated
by the way burning of heretics by Christian Church is also religious human sacrifice which extended well upto Seventeenth Century
All cultures had human sacrifices in their culture at one point, they eventually got rid of it through discarding the culture or making reforms.
Becoming monotheistic from polytheistic. That's the evolution of religion.
Can Abhijit and Kushal discuss about the Shraman and Bhraman cults in India? Also how does Vedic religion differs from Hinduism and it’s countless gods?
hinduism is the assimilation of all the cultures present in akhand bharat which are non abrahmic , vedas dont have countless gods read the rigveda
Vedic religion doesn't include puja it involves mantra recitations , havans , yagnas where certain animal and at times human sacrifice took place which later became symbolic/metaphorical because people became more ahimsa leaning , this was also the time when already existing shramanic cults of Jainism and Buddhism gained popularity.
