Original video:
*I am Sikh but I can say for surely that Hinduism(Sanatan dharam) is the most peaceful and secular religion in the whole universe.*
We all religions originated in India( Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism) has huge respect for each other bcs we all contributed to our society in some way or the other....... That's why u see unity in diversity in india so strongly in india, unlike any other place!.... No wars in between these 4 religions originated in India throughout history....... Islamic invaders and European colonizers (Abrahamic faiths) are different stories tho......
Guru Nanak was a peaceful person who started Sikhism. It became so popular that the Muslims started feeling threatened. So, they killed most of the Sikh Gurus in most gruesome manner. It was Guru Gobind Singh who called upon all Indians to stand up to fight the Muslims. All Hindu families gave their eldest son to the Army which was called the Khalsa Army. Point to note is that all SIR NAMEs of Hindus who joined Khalsa Army were never changed. Hindu Jats who became Sikh Jats still having 100% common SIR NAMES, so also Rajputs. The genes of Hindus and Sikhs are common as they belong to the same stock. It is only abroad that ISI has succeeded in creating a trouble called Khalistan by bribing the influential Granthis of various Gurudwaras creating problem which will surely die a natural death at the earliest.
@@devendrasinghdalal2900very well explained sir!!❤
Har Har Mahadev 🙏
Waheguru jii Daa Khalsa waheguru jii ki Fateh 🙏
I am Buddhist but I can say that Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are the branches of Sanatan Dharm.
We even Believe that Buddha is other avatar of Sri Vishnu (not kannada actor)😅😂😊
I see
I see
@@zuzanareactsI will suggest watch India channel for Hinduism like Dharma speaks and Project shivoham this video has so many mistakes 😅
Not branches all are Sanatan
1.It's not a religion.
2. it's a inclusive Dharma not like abramic so called relegions
3.there is no particular book for sanatana Dharma we believe in entire liabrary. choose your favourite one
Dharma is doing your work with full honesty..I am a student if i am doing my work properly then i am following my dharma
Nice thought 💭 for explain I m hindu
I'm Indian🇮🇳 and we are Hindu 🚩 And proud to be our Hinduism🕉️ Jay Shri Ram🚩🚩🚩
Thanks for observing Hinduism🕉️
Sati and Parvati are not two different person, sati died in her first life and later reincarnated in form of Parvati mata
Dharma(Righteousess) has an inclusive definition and has 5 pillars to it namely:- GYAAN (knowledge) , DHAIRYA (patience), PREM (love) , SAMARPAN (Dedication), NYAAY (justice). If a being wants to stay in line with Dharma he should always abide by these 5 virtues 😇
Dharma doesn't mean religion, it mean DUTY and every person has many dharmas like as a student then my Dharma is to study hard, when I m a son then my Dharma is to take care of my parents, as a doctor my Dharma is to treat my patient etc
ok = I wonder how interchangeable is it with purpose - if the word 'purpose' is not closer in translation than duty? Thanks
@@zuzanareacts Your purpose for life can be revenge, but your duty cannot be that. There is a thin difference, just like confidence and over-confiddence.
@@zuzanareactspurpose is to be united to brahman! Dharma is duty.
so purpose is to seek God
@@zuzanareacts why are u even performing ur dharma....to complete your purpose....I hope that helps😅😅if u want a fit body u have to do regular workout....soo regular workout is ur dharma and purpose is to gain fit body ....
Zuzana, I very much request you to watch some podcasts related to Hinduism.. The core and the concept of Hinduism is very complex, not surprising if people can't understand it one go.. The concepts of Hinduism are more about realising than understanding.. It's got everything, science from cosmos to geometry to inner science and spirituality
sure! would love to.
@@zuzanareacts @20:50 you ask a very valid question- why have so many Gods; even though the central belief is one… while I am no scholar, the one explanation I know and agree somewhat is this. We cannot realize truth if it remains abstract. We, in our baby steps on spirituality, need a form to adhere to- that is how the one formless Brahman got converted to many relatable forms/ Gods with their own distinct identities. A spiritual follower, in his/her journey towards Brahman, may seek likeness in form/thoughts/teachings of one Hindu God and eventually find Moksha…
In short, the multiple forms of Gods are just to ease the spiritual journey of humans towards Brahman- each human may find solace in a form that appeals best to him/ her because ultimate reality is just one- Brahman!
Does that make sense? 😅 Hope it does 😊
I would recommend Lil faider lecture series on hinduism
"Hindu-ism" is a word coined by the West to denote the religion which thre Hindus (people living in and around the Indus valley civilization), follow.
The correct name for the religion is "Sanatana Dharma"
the word hindu was given by persians when the name was actually sindu that's a specific ethnic group racially.
There is a lot of contradiction on Manusmriti, because Manu ji says at one place that the house where women are not worshipped, that house gets ruined and at another place he speaks bad for the woman. The reason for this is the Invader. They adulterated this book so that Hindus could be divided and they could be made slaves.
Interesting - thank you for sharing
That is quite possible. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
I found out recently that manusmriti had originally 1200 verses but now a days it's more than 2000 so there is a big problem people added by themselves... There is a youtube Vedio explaining the alternations made @@zuzanareacts
In India we have almost all religions living here from ages,but Hinduism is the only religion that doesn't had any war on the basis of religion...we consider other religions also for connecting to God.
because we aint savages.
11:00 this is the only Dharma (relegion) which allows Questions ❓
infact Entire Bhagavad Geeta is full of arjuna's questions and Krishna's answers.
remember Krishna never forced to anyone to believe him.
why because he is the truth.
In Satyayuga, Sage Bhardwaj wrote Vimanasastra. The principles,concepts and the equations that he wrote are still effective and applicable in modern aerodynamics.
Can you please give the equations of modern aerodynamics that he wrote?

@@mohasat01 I think, You didn't seen the "Ancient Alien" program on History Channel ,in which ancient theory researcher Gorjio Tsuklos explain briefly about "Vimaan Shastra,"
@@KhatriVanshKohli good bro ; some of the people underestimate vedic sciences ...
Dharma is your eternal duty based on what you choose to do in life
Dharm is Duty.
Suppose you are a Doctor,then treating your patient with full honesty,is your Dharm.
A person has multiple Dharm or duties,as he is a father,a son,a brother etc etc.Fulfilling your duties is Dharm.
Now coming to the mistakes in the video...There are no sacrificial things in Vedas.
The thing about Atharved and curse is also false.The video narrator must have read it online.There are no curses or that kind of thing in Vedas.
There are no castes in Vedic Dharm.
Infact the word Caste is from portugese word Casta.
We have Varna,means something that you acquire.In ancient times,all students used to go to Gurukul i.e. kind of School.
In Gurukul,your gurus i.e. teachers would give you your varna,based upon your qualities which actually happens today also all around the world.
If a kid is studious,then he is given the Varna of Brahman.
If a kid is strong and has courage,he is given the varna of Kshatriya,i.e. Warrior.
If a kid is good in business,in economics,he is Vaishya i.e. Businessman.
If a kid fails in all tests and guru sees no above mentioned talents in him,he becomes Shudra means kind of helper to other varnas.
It doesn't mean that his kid will also become a shudra,he can also become brahman if his guru sees it in him.
But yes,now this system has got some flaws.Now the varna has become birth based.If a kid is born to a brahman,he becomes Brahamn by default which is actually against Vedas.
Say with pride that we are Hindus, I am proud that I am a pure vegetarian.❤🇮🇳🙏

plss search slavic hindu
Change ur username, brother. It is not right according to Hinduism. They will get what they deserve, we don't need to make our mouths dirty.
Watch "MULTIVERSE IN HINDUISM" you"ll get most of your answers 👍👍
Whoever has read Bhagvat Gita, he will adopt Hinduism and we are seeing that many people in Europe are also adopting Hinduism....
cannot wait till I read it
Please share your experience after reading
26:45 I'm proud to say taht.we the people of Republic INDIA 🇮🇳. destroyed all the cast systems in 21st century 😊. constitutionaly and socially
and further we destroyed sati,child marriage and so many bad practices 😊😊
I believe this is Dharma
Most peaceful and liberal religion 🙏🙏
Don't call it religion. It's Dharma
26:50 caste system unfortunately became that way but wasn't intended that it way a functioning hierarchy just to maintain a order in society which did so and literally helped India to become rich in Early ancient period before Manu (This is a title not name) after which it was been exploited to gain power then European colonizers further exploited it to break Indian society and it did work
(that's a simple idea though but if you want to know the truth
Highly recommended series : prachyam Sahebs who never left)
the best documentary on youtube about last 200 years of india
Hi, Hinduism is very very vast. Over the period of time many colonizers literally just translated all the Vedas, Puranas, Gita etc from Sanskrit to English without any proper understanding about it, thats why there are lot of misinterpretation about Hinduism.... One such thing is about Caste system, another one is thousands of Gods but actually there are only 33 supreme Gods... Here the word Supreme is mentioned as Koti in Sanskrit Vedas, but in English it is translated as Crores... Like this there are many flaws in English translated Hinduism books....
Brahman is supreme, rest are projections which help us connect with Brahman
I am grateful to be part of the ancient Country India 🇮🇳
Hinduism is all about learning through questions, before Britishers invaded India, our school system was called "Gurukul", in which there used to be a subject called "tarkshashtra" meaning "Sanskrit term for the philosophy of dialectics, logic and reasoning, and art of debate that analyzes the nature and source of knowledge and its validity."
In Bhagwata Gita, there is a long conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna in form of question and answers, Arjuna asks the question to Krishna and he answers them.
Also a unique point about Hinduism is that, you may not believe in any God i.e. you may remain atheist but you still be called Hindu or Sanatani.
Hindu's don't convert a person. It's not in our scriptures as when Sanatana Dharma originated there was no mention of religion, Sanatana Dharma is a way of life
☯️.
You may feel free to ask more questions about it.
But I would request you to read Bhagwat Gita once, I'm sure you'll get all your answers.
Well,many of my friends had intercaste marriages,it basically depends of your parents lmao, nowadays parents are actually reading the books and they are realising that it was never written in Vedas to discriminate lol,so we are seeing the tilt in thinking right now
That's amazing!!!
Dharma is the eternal and inherent nature of reality, regarded in Hinduism as a cosmic law underlying right behaviour and social order.
I think it's a better interpretation for sure.
Actually Karma Is one Of the Core Theory in Hindutva (Hinduism)❤
‘Karma’ Define In Bhagvat Geeta as The Name
(कर्म ) /‘Karm’
(Sanskarit Name)
karm= Work Ethicks For Creating A Peacefull prosperitive , Equality Based Happy World ...Etc
(Note -i didn't Read Bhagbat Geeta Yet )But I think i know the Basics
Am i Right Guys ?
WELL CASTE SYSTEM IS A VERY RECENT PHENOMENA BUT IT DIDN'T EXISTED BEFORE 1500 BCE INDIAN HISTORY IS BTW 10,000 BCE OLD INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION AND RAMAYANA DATES UPTO 9,600 BCE
"WHY ARE HINDU GODS SO HUMAN" is the Good video to understand God in Hinduism
Though he explained the caste system well, there are certain clarifications:
1) Earlier, when it originated in the Rig veda, it was based on qualities and not birth, and is referred as Varna System (and not Caste System)
2) Later, when on the basis of Manusmriti, the division became locked on the basis of birth, it was called Caste System. Caste System is not preferred, whereas, Varna System is preferred because it is on the basis of qualities and skills.
3) The untouchables was no concept in Varna System, but became a concept in Caste System and was a part of Caste System, not outside it.
4) Today, constitution prohibits the practice of untouchability in absolute terms.
What clarify he said good cast system was expertise in one individual,if he is good in Puja he can be Brahman &if he is good in metal works he sudra..but that changed after manu appeared no change of cast one born in cast forever remain so.. can't interchange...he said good, touch your nose straight or round your head same..😮
@@vikramgurung3043 go and study history. Varna system allowed migration. If a shudra's son is brave, he would be called Kshatriya; if Kshatriya's son is intellectual and has knowledge of Vedas, he would be called a Brahmin. But slowly, hierarchy started appearing in Varna system, and eventually, after manusmriti, it became caste. Varna became caste.
@@grimbeast4374cannot say locked
Manusmriti 10:65 say Brahmin can lower down to sudra , sudra can honoured Brahmin status and so does kshatriya and vaishya can change their Varna
However Manusmriti is highly talk about duty of dwija ( Brahmin, kshatrapa and vaishya )
Sudra mean servitudes
Manusmriti 12:125 say those who see themselves in other in all living beings they can attained Brahmana ( or moksha)
@@grimbeast4374Manusmriti also Talk about vratya Brahmin and vratya kshatriya mostly they did not have upanyas sankar so they cannot be called Brahmin and kshatriya they will no longer even call part of any Varna
They by time make up outcaste population hence ancestors of all dalit were either kshatriya or Brahmin who became aposted to religious rituals
@@greaterbharat4175 Either write in Hindi language, or use proper sentences and punctuation in English. I just can't understand what you are trying to say. I am not making fun (being serious)
20:44 u r very right . And the answer to this is Because hindus dont follow vedas. They follow puranas which is a complete different thing and has nothing to do with sanatan vedic dharm. Rama and krishna worshipped supreme god or ishwar ( whose best name is om 🕉) and vishnu shiva saraswati are all used to describe qualities of that supreme god for eg:- saraswati means one who is knowledgeable, lakshmi means one who is wealthy , vishnu means one who preserve, shiva means one who destroys. These all names are used in vedas to describe one god some more names are agni,vayu,etc.. but puranas created different gods with those qualities. In todays india only 1-2% hindus follow vedic dharm. In ramayan and mahabharat it is written that rama and krishna did yagya ( or hawan) everyday in 4:00 a.m in the morning but todays india rarely anyone will do hawan or yagya.
At last i want to tell u that our dharma real name is sanatana vedic dharma we were called arya in mahabharata and ramayan times even bhagwam Raam was called Aryaputra( son of a noble man) and our country name was aryavart. India name was given by britishers l
We are the oldest and most modern surviving Civilization in this Planet 🌏. Bhagwat Gita Sloke
" या येनं वेत्ति हन्तारम् यश्चैन मन्यते हतम।
उभौ तौ न विजानीतो नायं हन्ति न हन्यते।।"
" Conservation of Energy ⛮ and Conservation of Mass"
Dharma is typical to translate in english but you can say it is a duty of a person needed to be performed
but is it in a positive way - as it I struggle with the word duty which does not have a positive connotation - I'd rather use the purpose. Lot of people in the west are in the search for meaning.
@@zuzanareactsyou have to read bhagwat Geeta
To understand what is Dharma
Hinduism is not a religion
Dharma is different from religion
Here following from Northeast INDIA 🇮🇳 keep reacting it's so nice 👍
thank you! ❤❤❤
Mrs you can check out why Hindu God's are so human by dharma Speaks very interesting and educational video
Thanks for reacting this video 👌🥰
I highly recommend reacting to "The Silence of Swastika" English documentary. It provides valuable insights on the historical and cultural significance of the swastika symbol. Your reaction would be enlightening and generate important discussions.
ok
Hinduism doesn't start with a person or a book and no one knows when did it starts and what we call today sanatan dharm it is assimilation of different ideologies and relegiius practices that built in thousand of years and it is ever growing and changes according to time and krishna saya whoever you are worshipping it doesn't matter because your prayers will eventually leads to me
abe pagal hai kya?? hinduism is the oldest religion then how can we collect things from other religion. stop spreading false narrative😡
@@sanamkumar9290 maene other relegion nahi kaha par bharat ke alag alag regions ki jo regional practices thi usko sath mai milakar sanatan dharm bana hai jisme alag alag Rishi ki yogdan hai
@@vinayak7890 then u should mention it clearly otherwise people will get it in wrong way.
A doctors dharma is to help his patients, a soldier's dharma is to protect, a kings dharma is to serve his citizens. Dharma means following their proper duty. Like a sons dharma is to care for their parents in their old age
You'd be even more fascinated to know that Hindu mythology is extremely similar to Greek mythology. Achilles, Trojan war, Zeus etc all have their near identical figures in Hindu mythology.
interesting!
Dharma actually means “code of conduct” or “duty”. Today, people use the word for “religion” because the religion is the best manifestation of dharma
Nice reaction!
Anyone can follow Hinduism's life teaching as it gives calmness.
Hinduism respects all religions and it's a practice to live life with honesty and that's why you see so many religions in India.
Jai hind 🇮🇳
Even Europe followed Sanatan Dharma before Christianity took over Europe. Look up ABHIJIT Chavada’s video on this topic
Interesting .....is there any evidence ?
@@zuzanareacts he talks about it in his video. You might have to do a RUclips search on Abhijit Chavada’s video on Pre Christian Europe and Sanatan Dharma. He also explains how Greek mythology is heavily inspired by Sanatan Dharma.
@@zuzanareactsall the pagan religions were a reflection of Hinduism even celtic religion morriggan is a reflection of brahma, in nordic thor reflection of indra, ra is a reflection of surya etc... There is even evidence Russians practiced Hinduism.
I see. - thank you!
This is not religion, this is a way of life of every human being❤
In Hinduism, the Gods and Godesses are said to be the different aspects of the formless Brahman. Since they look more like humans, it becomes easier for common people to comprehend and connect to the Brahman through them. (If that makes sense!)
I hear you. I guess form where I'm sitting for me personally it is not 'required' but I hear why this is.
@@zuzanareactsyes, but in Hinduism, it's not mandatory to worship God in some form, you can perceive it the way you want
great
Hinduism is not religion it's philosophy. The religion hindus follow is Sanatan Dharma. Initially there was only sanatan dharma but it was made more complicated by priestly class that led to emergence of shramana tradition like buddhism, jainism, ajivika and more.
Dharma in simple word is said to be duty, humans duty is to maintain and preserve humanity just like our ecosystem.
When Lord Shiva performs Tandav it leads to destruction of one universe and creation of another quite similar to destruction of star to form planetary nebula and then planet.
When you observe incarnation of Lord Vishnu it clearly follows evolution of life on Earth.
God is whatever in which you have belief that led to number of Gods(this is my theory for God not written anywhere I guess)
I understood your question but To answer this I have give an eg:
We are born different with different personalities where it's easier for us to connect with someone while it is also difficult to connect with others so
It is your choice to accept divine in any form where every god/goddess or (dev/devi) are manifestation of divine
Some can connect with divine feminine, some can with divine masculine and some need balance in divinity.
Also some connect with nature so that is why such a old civilizational religion is still been practiced
fair enough. I get it - I guess just for me I'd rather go to source but I get people connect with many things.
@@zuzanareacts If you visualize the source as cosmos one can begin to understand it's vastness, there is this video on YT named how big is the observable universe, you can watch it, I personally feel very humbled from time to time after watching that video, and realizing the magnitude of the creation, which we still don't really know, See our visualization and imagination sort of form a connect and this is why we give form to things we worship so that we connect better, however it's not a mandatory thing and I can very well like you connect with the infinite if I wish to do so, anyway. When you watch that video, if you do; you will be surprised to know that Concept of Observable Universe and beyond is already discussed in our ancient texts, they go as far as talking about multiverse and beyond and concepts such as Time Dilation and re-incarnations, transmigration are nothing new for us, although science has recently started to understand or atleast acknowledge these concepts. You might as well be interested in reading about past lives, as you were talking about it in this video, I have been interested in the same and I can say that there have been breakthroughs, I will share some scientific research papers of the same in the future, since it's already a long comment. Have a great day!
That's great.I've been studying spirituality for the last 20 years I guess from different sources that you guys would have had. All that you are mentioning I'm familiar with ❤🙌❤
@@zuzanareacts As they say, all wise people don't quarrel amongst themselves because they understand that the truth (reality) is same no matter the path you take. Happy to see you exploring more and also introducing new perspectives too; you are genuine and it shows. I am highly impressed with you dedication of following spirituality for 2 decades, it's only the longing to seek which can drive someone to always be open to new things and learning, which now has led you to this channel, life works in mysterious ways and I wish the best to you and your adventure with this channel but as someone who has followed philosophy and spirituality I would only reiterate that don't be bothered by the likes and statistics, success is great state to be in if it comes and when it comes but having the peace of mind and being blissful is a rare feat and a success in itself.
Brahman is the one true reality...... But it manifests itself in different forms, And there's no hyarachy, all are same..... It's just a way of understanding brahman better...... Bcs brahman is unexplainable, ultimate divine..... So in order to know about him, brahman manifests itself in different forms.... If it makes any sense....Btw it's totally fine if u just believe in only Brahman itself.... Core belief of Hinduism is acceptance and tolerance and non- violence that's why we don't get into silly conflicts about whatever you believe in..... All kind of thoughts are welcomed here❤😊
See there are 2 things 1) Hinduism and 2)Sanatan Dharma
Hindu was earlier just a geographical identity. There is a river called Sindhu ( Sanskrit word) , which the Persians couldn't pronounce. They pronounced "Sindhu" river as "Hindu" river. So the people living on the side of Sindhu river came to be known as Hindus ( i.e. us).
Later it became a religious identity as well.
In India we never had the concept or religion. Religion is a very Abrahmic concept which was brought to Bharat by the invaders. Instead of religion we had the concept of Dharma. Dharma can be roughly understood as duty. Let us try to understand dharma. Let us say a person is married and someone tries to harm his wife. It is his dharma to protect his wife at any cost including his life. If that person is also a politician , his dharma is to work for his people with honesty.
Dharma is considered above god. Even if god says to do something which goes against your dharma, You should do what your dharma says. Because it is not god who is governing your life results, it is your dharma.
Talking about belief/faith ,India is not a land of believers, It is a land of seekers.
When someone says that they believe in god or they say they do not believe in god, actually there is not much of a difference between the two. Because both are just taking something as true even they do not know in reality that it is true or not.So faith or belief is not considered a big thing. Instead we say we do not know , when we accept that the fact the we do not know , there is a possibility to know otherwise they will be just stupid conclusions in our head. Also belief/faith can be really dangerous. Because i can believe something and you can believe something completely opposite. For e.g. i can believe god is male and you can believe god is female. And both of us gather some followers like a priest, clearly someday we will be at each other's throats ,it just a matter of time ,it has been already been happening earlier also and today as well.
Seeking has been recommended before believing anything.
Seeking truth/attaining moksha can be understood using concept of yoga
See if i say Yoga , people in west generally understand as some physical exercise. But there is lot more to it.
First let us understand literal meaning of Yoga. Yoga means union.
Example 1: Suppose there is a meeting of foreign delegates of two countries, so when they sit for meeting together, it means they are physically coming together therefore this also yoga
Example2: Suppose i am student of physics and i studied quantum mechanics. Now i understand quantum mechanics to some extent so this also a yoga. This is because quantum mechanics has become a part of me which is nothing but union.
Yoga are of four types
1.Kriya Yoga(With the path of Kriya you are not only seeking realization you also want to know the mechanics of Life Making)
2.Gnana Yoga(what I know I know what I do not know I do not know)
3. Karma Yoga(if you can joyfully involve yourself in any activity that is Karm Yoga if you do it with great effort only Karma will come no Yoga will happen)
4. Bhakti Yoga ( if you use your emotions and try to reach the ultimate that means the path of devotion)
You can understand this more using this video :- ruclips.net/video/gqKLI7Vn-5U/видео.html&ab_channel=Adiyogi
or if you like to read then this:- isha.sadhguru.org/yoga/new-to-yoga/types-of-yoga/
So when invaders came with their religion , they couldn't figure out what we guys are and what religion we follow. Because every guy is worshipping different god. For us god is a medium to the truth. So god is considered very personal thing, you can imagine your own god, call him with the name you love to call him. Because at the end the relationship is very personal . Hence there are so many gods goddesses in India.We know that everything is just a reflection of the ultimate. The creator is in everything. Some people might confuse us that we believe in existence of multiple gods. But it is the same ultimate truth in various forms with different names.
Also some didn't worship any god, they are also hindus.
Continuing the story Some didn't believed in god , some believed, many were seeking truth on their own, some under supervision of guru. So a Hindu can be anything from theist , atheist,agnostic, seeker and everything in between.
Because we are hindus, we today say we belong to Hindu religion otherwise we are santanis.
If you really wish to understand india you should learn about sanatan dharma that too from an authentic source. A random youtuber that too a westerner has a very low probability that he/she can give you even a right idea about Sanatan Dharma.
Right source from my view is Sadhguru. He is a yogi.whatever littilest😂 i know or will know is through him only..
This is Sadhguru's channel :- ruclips.net/video/jbUHzLNkOiM/видео.html
You might get overwhelmed by the list of books listed to study in Hinduism.
One book which is most recommended is Bhagvat Gita.
thank you!
I know Sadguru for many years now :)
Sanatana has evolved over a long period of time and still continues to do so, I am so grateful for it to be my cultural heritage!
As a hindu it doesn't matter how old my religion is , the only things matter is my karma .
Proud to be hindu❤❤❤
For what you are proud?
10:04 please listen any Sanskrit shlokas (songs) you will feel the divinity and the power.
I would love to try one
Plato and Socrates too have connections with India when Alexander came here
Most people who goes to temple and trying to be more spiritual do there work, gather good karma by being kind, helping people and finally going to temple and chanting krsna name
There is no such founder or prophet in Sanatan Dharma like it is for the Abrahamic religions, so no body knows about the actual time when it started. That's the beauty of Sanatan Dharma, it was present from the start of the universe and it will be present till the end of the universe as well. As it was never founded it will never end. It is eternal and never ending. 🇮🇳🚩🕉️
Dharma can also be translated roughly to duty. And the dharma (which is different for every individual) that preserves balance in society and the universe, is the eternal dharma for an individual, the Sanatan Dharma.
The Indian eternal culture of India is the soft power which attracts the whole world. It is on the strength of its culture that India is touching the heights of progress as a united nation. 🇮🇳
Vishnu's avatar shows the theory of evolution way before darwin .
Ancient hindu text shows that they knew the earth was round, there are 9 planets in our solar system, they know the exact distance of the sun, the moon from the earth.
For more you can react on, how the universe war created according to Hinduism.
Every other religion, has a date when it started, like for example Christianity started after Jesus Christ, Islam was created by Mohammad, but the thing about Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma is that it does not have a starting date or a founder.. It has been for ages, passed on orally or through scriptures..
🙌🙌🙌
You asked if we believes in Brahmha then what's the need of other Gods... Here I would like to explain why we worship so many different Gods and Goddesses... As we all think and realize things differently so when we Imagine the concept of Brahmha we need one form as without any form it is very hard to realize (Sanatan Dharma is the way to realization of truth)and as all the humans nature is different and they conceive things differently ,their opinions ,understandings are different that's why we worship so many different Gods and Goddesses to realize that truth easily (Conceptualization of Brahmha in a form).... and also there is Believers of formless Brahmha in our Dharma...
Got it - fair enough!!
In the branch of Hinduism , The formless Brahman takes form in order to symbolise and connect with Life. So in Vaishnavism , Vishnu is the highest reality Brahman , in Shaivism it is Shiva or in Shaktism , Shanti the feminine is Brahman , the ultimate one.
21:00 to ans your question-
"Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" an Upanishadic statement meaning- 'Truth is one, the wise perceive it differently'
That is-
' One God Is Worshipped In Different Names'.
On the caste issue....yes there still are cases here and there but constitutionally its discrimination is banned and then u have sc/st act (which i find a little problematic) which ensures strickest punishments against these discriminations....as a person belonging to Brahmin caste myself i atleast on my behalf can say never have i ever even thought of looking down on a person because he belongs to the other caste....Plus govt of india offers around 60% quotes in all employment and empowerment schemes to the backward castes (I don't like the term backward)
I do not understand a government that prohibits caste discrimination and then speaks of backward castes.
@@mohasat01 biggest dilemma of indian state
Dharma can be explained like this. Lets say you are a judge. The culprit front of you is your own child. Even if the punishment you need to pronounce is death , you must do it , since thats your dharma. You can go home and cry later😊. This is the meaning of "everyone faces difficult choices, we shouldn't deviate from dharma no matter how difficult it is".
Well there was the misunderstanding regarding symbolism about Caste(First of all there is no caste but Vanra i.e, Class and it is in every society ) But the symols was that 1) Brahman is made from head meaning Intellectual class
2) Kshatriyas from Arms meaning Warrior class
3) Vaishyas from Belly meaning Economic class as they mainly fill the stomach(economy) of the body(society)
4) Lastly Shudras from feet meaning Labour class , entire body(society) moves forward with them as it is they who provide manual work though less appreciated but very imp. part of body (society).
Actually in hinduism, it's not hard and fast rule to worship any god, all gods are eventually brahman, and mostly it's like to see something you need eyes, the divine manifestations are eyes to see brahman that's it. Hence you see a lot of gods, 3 are prime gods along with maa bhagwati. rest all are kind of specific to a region, say god of fire, god of wind, god of water etc. Major gods are shiv and vishnu ji and maa bhagwati (shakti/power).
The easiest meaning of Dharma is Duty.. Like a doctor's duty is to treat patients.. Now he may have some personal problems in his life but that doesn't stop him from doing his duty as Doctor. Even if he thinks bad about his patient with whom he may have some issues but still the doctor will treat him because it's his duty.. The same goes with teachers, police, bankers, lawyers,parents, children,neighbours etc.
Buddhism, jain and Sikhism are all different schools of hinduism (just like different schools of Christianity such as catholic, orthodox Christians, baptism, revivalism, pentecostal, etc...) which follows law of dharma
Hinduism is a philosophy more like a religion.. We have so many god because they reflect every aspect of our life... We have gods & godess for wealth, knowledge, dance , singing (that is why dancing & singing has a special place in Hindu hearts you can see it in bollywood) , we have female gods, god of destruction, god of creation, god of strenth, thounder etc...
& they have no conflict... We never debate who is better because we know they are so many for us... But be believe that god is one... You can see these gods as Avtars.
Well... For your understanding just imagine (hypothetically) a parliament where there are so many reprentaters of every aspect of life & they are working for Betterment of Mankind... ❤
As a Sikh, I cam say that the Sanatan Dharma does not believe in conversions. We believe in acceptance.
For example: U can worship Jesus christ and be a Hindu or Sanatani. Coz Jesus is also a God if not in our scriptures but to someone else.
So its more about accepting each other.
Sanatan Dharma is atleast 10000-15000 years old
Why are behaving so Egoistic person in comments section. Why you are always making Hinduism Superior. You mentality is like a Muslim person. Hinduism teaches all religion is Superior. Don't compare anyone to Hinduism. And laugh at others. It's so Egoistic and mean.
@@tattvamashi Sanatan Dharma is the best out of all the religions because it is the oldest and survived all Islamic and Christian invasions. If you don’t like it then get lost 😡😡😡
It's best, but why are you make someone feel that they are inferior than us. You are talking like that everything came from Sanatan Dharma. Our Dharma doesn't teaches us that. Respect others feeling.
@@tattvamashi you can respect I was taught to feel pride in my dharma unapologetically. I don’t like islam because it teaches Jihaad, sex slavery and savagery all these things are written in their holy book. So there is no way that I will support such a barbaric ideology. Go read their holy book and Hadith before regurgitating this nonsense 😡
In Hinduism we believe in multiple forms of God, so we respect Jesus as a form of God... That's y Hindus can live with ny other communities peacefully around the world nd also respect other cultures (for example- recently muslim refugees burn a old church in France just like they broke many temples and schools in ancient India)...
abe pagal hai kya?? hinduism is the oldest religion then how can we collect things from other religion. stop spreading false narrative😡
Interesting - thank you for sharing.

Talking about cast, people most of the times confuse cast with 2 different words, those are Varnaa and Jaati, now Varnaa is the one which he mentioned here that society is categorised according to 4 major groups Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra, if we try to translate it in best way it is like four major categories of professions in today's world, so if one wants to marry it's best to marry someone having same profession as you as the pertner will better understand your problems and vice-versa, so it's recommended to marry in same Varna, now coming to Jaati, jaati is more of an identity of origin of that perticular race of Hinduism, and this generally defines the God you might worship, like am from Rajasthan from a village where we worship Devi (goddess) Shakti, and have a lifestyle according to the weather conditions and geography of Rajasthan, so this is what Jaati is, marrying in the same Jaati helps one to accomodate in family traditions in a better manner, but inter Jaati marriages have always happened as even the royal marriages since long past have been inter Jaati, so ya inter Jaati has always been relevant during ancient times, but there's a difference here as well some Jaati people are easy going with inter Jaati marriages but in some they tend to do it in Jaati only cause this helps in keeping traditions alive.
Well unfortunately the video you watched is a western perspective on Hindus, good basic knowledge but not all are very true, for example Hindus don't have a caste system, caste is a western concept, instead its a class system, but during the occupation the Indian text were wrongly translated, with their limited understanding of Hindu philosophy, according to their biases, till date their is no very accurate translations of many Upanishads as their is no correct word in English dictionary. Even many of today's Hindu don't understand the sanatana dharma very well, coz our education system is west centric, and about Bhraman although their is one bhraman it manifest in different form and we worship all the forms of bhraman according to the purpose of manifestation, and it also teaches us be tolerant towards all, according to the dharma one can take different paths, which can all lead to the same path towards the ultimate truth.
I see
Vishnu ji don't have 2wifes actually. Vudebi is a wife of vishnu ji's one avatar. But ultimately devi lakshmi is vishnuji's actual wife. We haven't 1000of gods. Actually we have 33 type of gods in our ancient hindu text. There it said "33 koti" Means 33type of gods. Koti means not crore which many people mistakes but in sanskrit, koti means type. And yea also we can get almost 1000of god names if we consider all their avatars. ❤
I am proud enough to be a HINDU AND ALSO A PART OF SANATAN CULTURE.
Bhagwat Gita has been read by almost all great minds.
Oppenheimer who made nuclear bomb quoted Gita when he detonated the 1st atomic bomb, Our scientists ( who are said to be atheists, have read it), its not essentially a book of religion but more of a guide on how to clear dilemmas and which path to take when all of them are filled with difficulty.
I'll do one reaction on bhagwad Geeta
I m not to religious but the amount of knowledge in hinduism has is limitless
From black magic to moksha to aghori to ayurveda to yoga
All these things look scary but u will find sadhus in himalayas who are bare foot without clothes meditating in places where normal person cant even stand even after wearing multiple layers because they have achieved moksha and are disconnected from the world
Please don't watch Cogito videos on India. He uses the same biased colonial sources that hated and demanded our culture.
Interesting
People say that caste system creates divide in society, and critics of Hinduism mention about manusmriti as a casteist book and thus labelling/limiting Hinduism to Caste only. While it is clearly mentioned on the very first occurrence of term caste that it is not by birth. Casteism is technically everywhere in world, take a communist country the so called classless society e.g. USSR, there would be labourers, workers, administrators, members of Communist Party. Everyone knows how equal these groups were in USSR and now Russia. Even in western world you can see people having name smith, baker, miller, cohen which were purely given in name of status in society.
There's an idol called Kalpa Vigraha it's the idol of Shiv Sankar , dated 28000yrs.
Rigidity in caste system (by birth) became a direct result of corruption, nepotism..... But u have to understand how old Hinduism really is..... The system got corrupted at some point...... But today caste system is gone for a long long time!!..... Buddhism and Jainism played it's role too in ending that corruption, as "Lower caste" people started migranting to Buddhism and Jainism..... So it led to reform in Hinduism....... In fact Buddhism (500BC) and Jainism ( nearly same time ) was born out of Hinduism mainly due to caste system!!...... There's one more religion came out of hinduism called "Sikhism", much later during the genocide and oppression of Hindus by Islamic invaders..... Sikhs were worriors who protected hindus but mainly Buddhists and jains (peaceful communities, who were against violence at all) ......We all religions originated in India has huge respect for each other bcs we all contributed to our society in some way or the other....... That's why u see unity in diversity in india so strongly in india, unlike any other place!.... No wars in between these 4 religions originated in India throughout history....... Islamic invaders and European colonizers (Abrahamic faiths) are different stories tho......
You are great exploring the Hindu ❤❤ when you come to India ❤❤
Santana Dharma has six school of thoughts and these school of thoughts are based on VEDA (oldest book). so these school of thoughts based religion later said HINDU religion. but actually its santana Dhama.
There is a video from Farhan Quereshi about what is Hinduism.
You can also check out Jay Lakahani, Swamy Chinmayananda, David Frawley, Koenraad Elst, Carvaka Podcast, Jeffrey Armstrong etc. To really learn more about Sanatana Dharma
Wasn't Farhan Quereshi kicked out of CNN (US) because he denigrated Hinduism? What he presented was far off the mainstream of Hinduism.
The caste system is based on the 4 classical psychological types , all classical civilisations knew about this, the greeks certainly did. Carl Jung probably describes the types best. The castes are great huge "brotherhoods" of specializations . Specific lifestyles have evolved for specific occupations. So the buisness community has a certain way they live , food they eat etc, the teachers have their own as do the warriors. These are followed "loosely" to an extent even today.
The word KARMA is adopted in Hindi, English from Sanskrit which is the oldest Language of the world.
The only civilization who survived. The evil chiristian and islamic invasion if you want how a civilization is finished please watch agora movie 2009 please. Its important.

Caste term derives from a French word Casta. There was no concept of caste in Bharat until britishers invaded us. The Hindus believed in VARNA system that entails that there are four classes of people in any society
1. Brahmins - The Educated class, which teaches and spreads the knowledge into the society like Teachers for example
2. Kshatriyas - The warrior class, which protects the society and focuses into war tactics and battle like any nation's Army for eg
3. Vaishya - The business class, which focuses on the economy and regulates it
4. Shudras - The labour class, which works at labour centric activities
The concept of Varnas was for any society which wants to efficiently regulate itself. The Varna system wasn't based on birth but on merits and skills of an individual however, The Britishers translated the term VARNA into caste, which was a birth based system and then forcefully segregated hindus into caste under their colonial rule. There are many historians who have written as to how britishers purposefully distorted our sacred books in the name of translation into English, so that they could manipulate the then hindus into conversion. Sadly the mess that brits left was pushed further by some political parties to alleviate their political agendas and even now the caste is a big issue in rural areas of Bharat.
VARNA system - If u have the skills of an engineer then u should become engineer despite your family background.
Caste system - If u have the sills of an engineer but you are born in a labour family then you are automatically labelled as a labour and so you must only do labour works. Hopefully it answers your question
7th that he described "Dharma" is like doing your duty honestly, for example let's say A teacher's duty(Dharma) is to teach without any dishonesty or laziness or bias. Similarly a Student's duty(Dharma) is to work hard and dedicate himself to the study. A king's duty(Dharma) is to look after the well-being of his people, police's duty(Dharma)is to protect the people from bad people and punish criminals. Following and Doing your duty honestly is basically Dharma. If everybody follows and do their duty honestly then there will be a balance between all things otherwise it will be chaos.
As I was told by someone long time ago.
There is no such thing as Sin and Trinity in Hinduism please watch Indian channels for understanding
It is thought that the Trinity in Christianity is derived? from the similarity with Hinduism.
@@mohasat01There is no mention of Trinity in Vedas and Purana
@@Ashutosh5897 Even if they are not called the Trinity, I spoke of the trio: Brahma, the creator and source of wisdom; Vishnu, the preserver; and Shiva, the destroyer.
@@mohasat01 she related Christian Trinity concepts to Hinduism
@@mohasat01 Read the source book first before calling Brahma, the creator Vishnu, preserver and Shiva , distroyer in Sanskrit there is no such thing creator preserver and distroyer. They misquote intensely so they can relate with Christanity watch Dharma speaks channel u will understand what i m saying or read the original book
The Hollywood movie "The Legend of Bagger Vance" starring Matt Damon and Will Smith is based on the Bhagavad Gita. Do watch this movie with this "spoiler" in mind :-)
thanks for the tip!
