Satan is a prominent concept in Christianity and Islam. This video explores what Hinduism has to offer on the concept of Evil and the figure of the Devil.
@@prestonrogers5955 if everything is in the control and mercy of god naturally that includes evil too, why else would god let evil exist? Why would he let 'Good' people suffer? its all just a cycle of karma
According to this concept a person will be considered evil as long as he has not mastered himself or reached that spiritual state. So it'd not be wrong to call evil a synonym of ego. Ego is something that can't be controlled by even a fraction of human population and in that way almost all of the humanity is evil. Also some have reached that spiritual state in other religions as well, does that mean they'll be considered evil despite having a control over themselves?
The fact that a lot of people are taught/conditioned to believe that evil is a force external to themselves, and not within themselves, birthed from their undisciplined monkey minds, primitive egos, and lower consciousness, are exactly what causes all the atrocities we see today. To combat evil, we MUST turn inwards and change/master ourselves first (in spirituality, we call it "inner work"), not outward towards the world. We can't expect to fight evil when evil itself also resides in our own hearts. Too many times, especially on the internet, all I ever see is one type of human garbage arguing with another type of human garbage, while each side ironically regarding themselves as "angels who are always morally pure and in the right", failing to recognize and accept that there is darkness inside them that is compelling them to lash out at others. "A man may conquer a thousand men a thousand times in battle, but he, indeed, is the noblest victor who conquers himself." - The Buddha.
Cutting of attachment and doing our work without the expectations of the fruit of the work and stopping thinking in terms of "I" and "Mine" and completely surrendering the the Supreme Being is the only way to destroy the evil within yourself, according to Hinduism.
Hare Krishna 🙏🌹 Sanatan Dharma is most mature way of living life there is deep understanding behind its philosophy and it should not be viewed like a blind faith because it teaches way to live life and attain everything in life. 🙏🌹

Yes, actually it is difficult to destroy Hindusim because it’s so diverse and so ever accepting of literally everyone and everything so it’s hard to kill it
@@SR-mv2mf hindu religion is intolerance on a man who live near or with wife's parents even if he intend to help wife take care and accompany wife parents till died. He loss his honor and being called ghar jamai . You seldom see hindu man doing that
In the Abrahamic religions it is said that only the devil /Iblish is responsible for bad deeds. There is no role for God in the creation of Satan. I know how it feels to be duplicitous. Hinduism is the only supreme life philosophy of self-liberation and world welfare.
Good luck with that in your life review. Colossians chapter 1:15-20 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Satan was one of God's spirit children just like us. He refused to accept God's plan and was cast out of heaven and resides on the earth to tempt and try us. Yes he does have a role in Satan's creation.
Excellent video as usual 👍🏼 The concept of Maya in Advaita is a bit different than from the bhakti traditions, it’s interesting that Maya is female. Will have to read up on this!
Advaita vedanta holds that the world is literally an illusion when viewed from the ultimate state. The Bhakti traditions hold that the world is real, but has the potential to drag us away from our relationship with God. The concept that maya is distinctly female is certainly there in the Vaishnava traditions and also some Shaivite ones.
@@DharmaSpeaks Advaita too, holds the world as real - however there are two realities 1) Paramarthika - the absolute reality which is the “brahman” and 2)Vyavaharika - where the consciousness is covered in Maya. So Maya is real as well, because without Maya, the universe cannot exist. Maya and brahman together constitute the universe - Brahman, who supports Maya is the cause and Maya is the manifestation. I suppose in the bhakti traditions, brahman is the supreme god Vishnu and Maya, like you said in the video, works for Vishnu in creating the illusion?
@@swatisri2409 Yes. The main reason for the confusion is due to some Advaithians who wrongly interpret Maya as an illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe. Maya is the creative shakhti of Brahman and it is absolutely real. It also means, the material realm is also real. Shiva (athma/brahman) and Shakthi or Maya or prakriti always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen eg birth/death (including reincarnation cycle), wave/particle, energy/matter, manifestation/concealment, wake/sleep, man/woman, freezing/melting, summer/winter etc This is Sankhya Vedic metaphysics which combines Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakhti). In other words, Advaitha is INCOMPLETE without Dvaitha and vice versa. Sankhya Vedic metaphysics can be validated by logic, double slit quantum experiment and embodied experience (direct knowledge through focus and meditation) Shiva and Shakhti or Maya cannot exist without each other. Without Maya, Shiva is "shava" (corpse) and without shiva, nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen, Advaitha also says Tat Tvam Asi - meaning you (conscious and immanent athma) are (already) that (conscious, transcendent and omnipresent divine) regardless of whether one has "self realization" or not because without the conscious, immanent and omnipresent athma nothing can exist. False identification with thoughts and body is just an illusion created due to the experience of 5 senses by the immanent and conscious athma even though it is NOT the doer. Mithya also does NOT mean false. Mithya means relative world. eg Tasks in your office (which you have to finish) is temporary but not false. In the same way., the subject/object split experienced is temporary but does not mean it is false.
@@DharmaSpeaks will you do a specific video of Brahman and the Self. And a video on Shiva and Vishnu and how they’re conceived as Ultimate Reality. As supreme personality, Ishvara or Bhagavan
And I thought I understood Hinduism as just a born hindu. You really explained me something that I believed but couldn't phrase it even to explain it to myself.
Another great video, which *everyone* should watch. Also this clearly explains how Hindus are far evolved mentally, spiritually than the Abrahamics. And since, for the last 1000+ years the world is dominated by the narratives of less evolved Abrahamics over more evolved Hindus & other _dharmic_ philosophies, it sort of validates the prophecies of 'Kaliyuga' - The Dark Age!
I've actually been pondering Revelation 17:17 in the Bible and it is surprisingly close to the philosophy explained towards the end of the video in that it alludes to God being somewhat in control of "evil" for the sake of his will/glory. I think that's an interesting parallel. Great video by the way!
Understanding the big picture of Dharma academically in English is a great exercise for Hindus and can be eye-opening for people from other traditions.

I’m curious on ur views regarding the kalkhi avatar defeating the kali demon of the Kali Yuga narrative because of how similar it sounds to other messianic prophecies like do you think it was all just added in during later periods due to influence from abrahamic traditions or do u think it has any basis in reality and in scripture, or do u have the opinion of the whole narrative being more metaphorical as in kalkhi representing a sort of reawakening/enlightenment in mankind while the demon kali represents the accumulated ignorance of mankind which is the idea I tend to subscribe to
Kali Yuga is just a phase of time. It is not some human entity. During this time , people are driven by greed , lust and anger. If u read bhagwad gita , u will realise Tamas guna of human is what gives rise to devilish tendencies. This age of kali yuga will not last very long. we will soon run out of fossil fuels
I knew it! Evil (Well our negative behaviors at least) is caused by Ego! I knew it! Its not Satan or evil spirits Its plainly our Ego that makes us bad. I always knew that this is something I really want to let go of so I can serve God is my ego. All my life I felt bad for my ego I felt bad and thought I was a bad person but now I can be blessed and know that hating my ego does not make me a bad person but a sign I can get close to God without fear and keep learning about his love. I am right by saying this yeah?
@shruti ss if SatChitAnand (Unmanifest God Almighty) created everything how can a rogue angel (as per Christianity) be an independent entity?! God respects His own rules (Free will He gives us all including Satan and his minions) But as Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta illustrates - Karma is on our hands, not their repercussions. Satan will be judged ( if he is a real entity).
Even though all souls will reach what we call enlightenment in their own time, I don't believe that this world/rebirth is only suffering and misery...if it was, then our souls wouldn't have chosen to incarnate here in the first place. It's always a mix of both but I think physical life is a gift unto itself. Similar to how college is fun and exciting but there is a point when its time to graduate. I think there should be less emphasis on the negative aspects of the ego and of life, the ego to a degree is essential to survival.
can you make a video on scientific figures and tables which is impossible for todays scientist to tell accurately... like how old is the earth? everything written in vedas
This is why I had a problem when I was Christian. I still love Jesus, but not the religion they believe someone who has been good and moral their whole life will go to hell if they don’t follow Christianity, but a murderer or bad person can just say they’re believe in Jesus even though they’ve been bad their whole life and can continue to be bad as long as they confess their sins. No, God does forgive as Krishna says in the Gita, but you have to change your bad and sinful ways, not have no love or regard for God and continually keep sinning and being malicious, selfish, taking advantage of and hurting others.
You did a pretty cool presentation of the hindu view of evil, but your analysis of the abrahaamic religions is pretty simplistic. While i can't comment much on islam and agree that you will find this more basic wordview in a lot of christians, as you will find in a lot of hindus, that is not how the christian faith has historically seen things. Catholics, orthodox and several protestants would actually agree with a lot of what you say here. The idea of original sin leads us to see that our world has the problems it has exactly because we usually fails to connect to God thanks to atachment to the things of this world or to ourselves. While Satan and his angels are sure a big part of the problem, the one who is aways the cause of the problem is i. The christian idea is that thanks to Our Lord victory we can aways have the power to win against the enemies from outside or against ourselves and find a superior state where our natural friendship with God is actual. That is what our saints show with their lives and teachings. Historically the christians also would not say that Satan is even close to a equal to God. His domain is very limited and he can't do anything unless he is permited. As shown especially in the Gospels, the idea is that he only can do what he can because God uses his works as a mean to greater goods. This should be obvious if you remember how christians philosophy takes evil as just a privation of the good and not a substancial thing itself. Saints like Augustine and others actually combated people with these dualistic views. The final showdown in the apocalypse should make this clear, for the "battle" is only Jesus appearing and defeating the evil powers while not exerting Himself at all. The battle on heaven also say the same thing, for there God is so greater that the fallen angels the He does not even bother doing much, letting St. Miguel Archangel do the battling with the other angels. Also, besides popular descriptions, theologians like Aquinas would defend that Satan and his angels never had the type of communion with the Father that the saints have. The popular descriptions that say otherwise are more like myths, they say a lot of important truths but they should not be read as modern western people read everything. I'am sure that hindus agree here. So, please be more careful when analysing other religions, one can fail to see what these faiths say and just look at how the average person today understands they. Hindus suffer that a lot, so i don't need to say why this is bad, especially on this time where people care even less about the non-material realities. I see in you a desire to understand other points of view, so i'am sure this little rebuke will help.
Who will compensates the oppressed people? What will happen to criminals (evil people who commited all kinds of sins) and who are acquitted from punishment in this life? Answer these questions and you will conclude that there must be punishment for evil doers. Punishment can be applied in the judgement day.
Kali Purusha is an adversary of god he is destined to fight god in every universe until he travels to an another one he is the embodiment of evil(kali Yuga)
Maya is actually just temptation. A human can be tempted towards several things including good or bad, it's upto a person whether they stay away from "Moh-maya" aka temptation.
I’m a person that like to study religion. Understand this world we’re living is a spiritual world, and somethings our actions is not by our will but the spirit that posses ‘us’. In spirit there’re 2 identity which is Positive (good/God) and Negative (evil/satan). In Christianity satan is an opposers of Christ not to God the father, Jesus only want to bring an end of evil so we human can live a better life
I think Dharma speaks is enlightened because of how deep he understands spirituality.
He has an enlightened Spirtual Master for a Guru.
It’s ballshit how can evil be servant of God

Every time I watch your videos I am reminded of and impressed by the spiritual maturity and coherence of Hinduism as compared to other religions!
Is there something that Jesus said that turns you off ?
Fundamentally "evil exists not because of some outside entity..but rather because we as individuals have failed to master ourselves!!"
DAMMNN!!!🙏🙏
That was what the ancient seers always impressed,look within, every strength and weakness lies within if we just realise it 🙏🙏🙏
According to this concept a person will be considered evil as long as he has not mastered himself or reached that spiritual state.

Hindus suffer that a lot, so i don't need to say why this is bad, especially on this time where people care even less about the non-material realities. I see in you a desire to understand other points of view, so i'am sure this little rebuke will help.
I'm glad you explained this, my dude! As much as I agree with his points, I knew there was something amiss about his views on the Abrahamic religions.
What is a true religion?
Aabrahamic theology doesnt seem to transcend duality

I’m a person that like to study religion.
Understand this world we’re living is a spiritual world, and somethings our actions is not by our will but the spirit that posses ‘us’.
In spirit there’re 2 identity which is
Positive (good/God) and
Negative (evil/satan).
In Christianity satan is an opposers of Christ not to God the father, Jesus only want to bring an end of evil so we human can live a better life
