I strongly agree with the idea that Dharma = Natural Law
Older name for it was Rta, or Arta in Zoroastrian. I want to know if there are similar words in other indo European languages.
@Language and Programming Channel except for Abrahamic religions like Christianity, Islam and Judaism, every other religion had similar philosophies and were very much tolerant towards other faiths.

Hinduism is the only Indo-European religion which survived & still thrives beautifully.
@@combatantezoteric2965 Agreed, that the popular form of Hinduism practiced nowadays is quite different than the ancient Vedic religion (Hinduism of Vedic age); but still it's not as different as it seems. Hinduism has become more complex & complicated with time, but if studied deeply & carefully it still has its Early Vedic character, not just in rituals, but also in beliefs. Worshipping forms of nature, Yajnas/Homas (fire sacrifices), Vedic gods, reincarnation, idea of sacred trees & sacred magic etc. In fact, the main ritual of Vedic people was fire sacrifice, which is still very prevalent in all religious occasions as Homa. Surya (Vedic sun god, also known as Mitra, Mihir, Mithra/Mithras) still holds the same importance (other important Vedic deities like Soma, the moon god, Sarasvati, the goddess of knowledge, Rudra, Agni, etc. are worshipped too).
A religious Hindu still goes through same 16 rites of passage (Samskaras), as ancient Vedics did, and those rituals are performed exactly in the same unchanged pure Vedic form with same ancient hymns & rituals. These rites of passage include birth celebration, start of education, marriage, death (cremation) etc. Thus, Hindus are married in the same manner as ancient Hindus did; i.e. , in completely Indo-European fashion.
Also, Hinduism has too many completely different and unrelated forms (seperate sects/religions), one of which is called Shrauta, which maintains the unbroken tradition of the exact same rituals & beliefs as followed 4 thousand years ago by Vedics, i.e. , earliest form of Vedic Hinduism. Shrauta is the same unchanged form of Vedic religion, and is still practiced in some parts of South India. Beliefs of pagan religions had always changed radically with time, so comparatively, Hinduism has gone through very few developments in such a long period of time.
Also, though Christianity has appropriated many pagan beliefs & rituals, it's still very different from any Indo-European religion. Most importantly, no pagan god is worshipped; not just that, the pagan gods are hated and considered demons & devils; so, beliefs are radically different. Also, ultimately it doesn't have Indo-European roots which Hinduism has.
Japan have proof of Hinduism. Europe also have proof. Ex- Lithuanian Pagans.
Budhism kinda passed it on as well. The Chinese through it and the trade in Western China inherited a lot of Indo-European mythos as well.
Examples being the Thunder God, the Golden Crow, Asuras and Brahmn belief... It's all part of it.
Be Happy to call Hinduism a religion is not very accurate.
Religion is an abrahamic concept. In India and other 'pagan' civilisations, both dead and alive, religion and culture are intertwined and inseparable.
The reason is, forms of worship changes as the culture changes and vice-versa. Hinduism has always been evolving, it was never rigid like islam and christianity where you have a book that tells you what's allowed and what's not.
This phenomenon, is similar to the indo-europeans. There culture/religion was always evolving. When they came into contact with certain peoples, when domesticated animals were introduced, when the wheel was discovered etc all changed/altered their rituals.
Be Happy
Come to western Nepal and you’ll experience ancient Hinduism. It’s most closely related to Vedic Hinduism. Sacrifices, drinks, dance and everything

Das ist genau die Achillesferse, dass er die abrahamitische Religion als etwas ganz anderes aussondert, wo doch der semitische und arische Kulturraum über jahrtausende geistig zutiefst verflochten war. Leider schimmert in dieser Ausklammerung der abrahmitischen Religionen der Ungeist Evolas hindurch. Die in Alexandrien hellenisch durchformte Art der abrahamitischen Religion ist durch und durch kohärent mit dem universellen Hochahten des ewig Waltenden.
Acharya G is a bright beacon of light in a dark ugly world. It's an honor and privilege to know him.
As someone who has for many years attempted to revive the nordic tradition within, not only have I gone a long way doing that since I started learning from Acharyaji a year ago, but have also recived practically the world and more on top. It is good to finally be rooted in Tradition, living a life saturated by authentic spirituality. But not only that, to be rooted in the path towars Upploki that Óðinn spoke of with such reverence, that I am most thankful of. Thank you for posting this interview. 🙏🏻

I didn't think this interview would be a interesting as it is. This man is something special.
This man is legit.I especially like his talks on vegetarianism. Great interview.. Thanks.
@@AntonEugeneLanthier Veganism isn't vegetarianism. It's like comparing night and day. Acharya describes veganism as unnatural and even "demonic".
one of the parts that shows it's not a vedic, one of the great differences between vedic and hinduist religions is presicely Vedics consumed both herded and hunted meat, some rituals even required deer skin, why hinduism promotes vegetarianism. Calling equating hinduism to the older vedic religion is like equating norse paganism with scndinavian christianism (where the norse gods survived but labeled as demons in post-christian scandinavian folklore)

I saw this interview one day and decided not to watch it.
Now I have returned and feel more enlightened for it.
Time to read some Dharma
I gotta admit I was expecting to be turned off by this guy but this was a fantastic interview.
Wtf boi u must not turned on by him lol
@Timothy Henricson The Guru is completely right about what he said about abrahamism. You fell for a jewish meme, became a golem and you're going to have a rude awakening after you die, while the Guru will most likely ascend to a higher level of existence. Now fuck off from this channel, you vile monster!
@Timothy Henricson You have literally been brainwashed by a false religion concocted by a certain tribe that has mastered the dark art of deceiving and manipulating others into genociding themselves. I'm not going to bother arguing with GOLEMS such as yourself.
1:01:30 Thinking to myself "wouldn't it be funny if said Alex Jones". Then he mentions Alex Jones! Lol I lit up.
Damn, so all of south east asia once had vedic culture. That explains to me for example some traditional hindu india dance play and indonesia bali dance similarities. Also polynesian dance, tongan and samoan dance. Observe the the hands, the body movements. Obviously time and isolation from south asian islands is the missing link
They are hindu in bali. To this day
Also it includes Afghanistan too
that dance was indiginous
hinduism mixed with their own polyhtiestic religions
Yep this is the influence of India and Hinduism from India 🥰

Logos was influenced most closely by the Persian “Asha”.

The biggest fault with Abrahamic religions is the way they insult personal intelligence. Of course there are parts of Christianity, Judaism and even Islam that were influenced by several schools of philosophy, but these parts are delivered in a way that doesn't allow free though. Prophets don't achieve 'God's' knowledge through hard work, learning and experience, they achieved it because 'god gave it to them'. It sends a message that basically translates to: "Only the ones that God has chosen get to know the truth and the rest of you should never question their words." Even if the words of all of the prophets were true, because of time and translation, they're completely deformed by now, yet no one is allowed to question said words.
Well said. In contrast to Abrahamism, in Vedic/Hindu/Dharma/Natural Law systems and traditions, the human experience is viewed as divine/sacred. That is, in short, human beings do have the capacity to realize Absolute Truth through a gamut of available and proven spiritual practices (sadhana). However, in the Abrahamic model, these practices are categorized as devil worship, satanic, demonic, etc. which of course demand adherence to history centric models of revelation, which if proven to be untrue as historical events, the entire theology completely falls apart. It isn't about personal experience of the divine, but blind belief as you allude to. In experience based models, the Truth is within grasp of those who sincerely put in the required effort to acquire it.
I recommend viewing the following: ruclips.net/video/BsyzklLnV4k/видео.html
Because a 'perfected jew' is a state of becoming and arrival never happens. It does leave room for endless growth in understanding...
@Churka
The fact that its received is to minimize distortion. Its a straight up message given by God whether the Prophet likes it or not.
@Timothy Henricson You're a typical religious bigot spewing lies. The Resurrection of Jesus never happened and all the excuses and apologetics for it are not convincing unless of course you are seeking confirmation bias to justify believing in a false god. I'm a proud Hindu. I'm a committed Hindu. I'm of conviction and there's nothing you can do about it.
@Timothy Henricson You are actually the one believing in Satan. The propaganda you have come to believe shows just how successful it is. In your narrow mind, everyone else is the devil, and you feel high and mighty because you believe in the "one true God." Pure nonsense. The Resurrection of Jesus never happened. It is all a lie. The creators of this lie know to keep the believers from disbelieving by saying this was the devil trying to trick them. Did it ever occur to you that you have been tricked by the same devil you accuse everyone else of believing?
I deny the Resurrection in the same way that I deny that 1+1 = 3. You are free to assert that 1+1 = 3 and then claim everyone else is believing a lie. We are all laughing... but it's not with you.
“Cycles within cycles.”
Evola does speak of such restorations (the heroic age) in his works like in The Mystery of the Grail, etc.
I'm glad I found this. Very informative. Thank you!

The difference is that God is distinct from creation even though he is present in it.
The foundation of existence is unlike all existence.
That is according to divine revelation by God himself.
In the beginning was the Word (sound/vibration/void), and the Word WAS God.

I want to point out a mistake in this video.. At 39:00, you have shown the picture of the Goddess Kali (pronounced Kaali- long vowel sound).. Kali in Kali Yuga is different and often seen as male..
I had heard that before but still made the error. Thanks for pointing it out
No worries.. :)
Kali , the ruler of the Kali Yuga era is a demon , not Kalika/Mahakali . He is the arch nemesis of Kalki and the lord of all vices . According to scriptures , Kali is the personification of Adharma , Anti Dharma if you will .

Iv only just discovered the Vedas, its changed my life an without a doubt the knowledge is above anything iv come across up to now. You read an you know it's coming from a much higher minded or even non human. The Gita was my introduction an its changed everything for me, then the Bhagavatam. I do now beilive in Krsna, I do beilive aswell that it's the future. People are spiritually starving in the west, an for people seeking they really should read the Gita, it will destroy any doubt in God you may have.
Astounding job! Really enlightening in the good sense. You've exposed me to Traditionalist writers that I'm definitely going to check out. He says about the same thing as Mark Passio about Natural Law.
According to Arthur Basham, the context of the Bhagavad Gita suggests that it was composed in an era when the ethics of war were being questioned and renunciation to monastic life was becoming popular.[45] Such an era emerged after the rise of Buddhism and Jainism in the 5th-century BCE, and particularly after the legendary life of Ashoka in 3rd-century BCE. Thus, the first version of the Bhagavad Gita may have been composed in or after the 3rd-century BCE.[45]
Linguistically, the Bhagavad Gita is in classical Sanskrit of the early variety, states the Gita scholar Winthrop Sargeant.[46] The text has occasional pre-classical elements of the Sanskrit language, such as the aorist and the prohibitive mā instead of the expected na (not) of classical Sanskrit.[46] This suggests that the text was composed after the Pāṇini era, but before the long compounds of classical Sanskrit became the norm. This would date the text as transmitted by the oral tradition to the later centuries of the 1st-millennium BCE, and the first written version probably to the 2nd- or 3rd-century CE.[46][47]
Awesome work.
Correct.

For sure it predates Buddhism.

The spiritual and metaphysical gist of this talk was very enlightening, although he completely missed the plot in the last five minutes of the interview when he praised "the two Alexes". Especially Dugin is insidious, having close ties with hardcore Zionists (Jewish supremacists) like Avigdor Eskin, and has actually praised many aspects of Bolshevism in his works. His works are deeply anti-European and if you read his works, what he proposes is just another cosmopolitan, rootless, globalistic empire. The good he writes about ethnos and the like is only what he borrowed from others - thus not even original to him - and merely for his broader interest in "Chaos" for the sake of chaos. I hate to see yet more Eurasianists/Nazbols infiltrating anti-Globalist movements. Keep in mind also that this Svengali Dugin has links to many hardcore far-leftist movements, not only the far-right/nationalist in some countries.
Buddy I used to read your blogs why did you left Islam
Agreed. Dugin is snake, a fraud, and a zionist.
I agree that Nazbol is poison. I don't see how anyone who opposes the filth of Bolshevism, or more generally, of Marxism (whether of the classical or cultural stripe), could get behind Nazbol.
@Status of the left wing? Annihilated. Exactly, although I did alot of other deeper studies. When I got into Islam to begin with honestly it wasn't from reading the Quran in depth. Yes, Muslims are known for memorizing by rote but most being non-Arabs don't really know the meanings of what they learn. There are cherry picked verses in entire books meant to show the "miraculous" nature and other "wisdom", but when you dig deeper you see so much was copied from or at least influenced by various texts such as several Gnostic texts, the legends about Alexander the Great, and other mythologies long popular throughout the Middle East and going down to Arabia.
@@saadrizvi6630 Just reading your comments now. I since wrote an article about why but the main reasons was 1) realizing it's inherently foreign to me as a man of European descent and visiting my paternal ancestral countries awoke something within me; 2) deep diving research into the origins and other problems of Islam and the Quran; 3) problems of the Abrahamic religions in general; and 4) deeper spiritual experiences of an animistic nature, showing me my own ancestral Gods and Goddesses and our own spiritual worldview. It was a process and nothing I did lightly. I grappled with alot of conflict within myself, walked away from most of my friends and social circles, constantly researched to try and make sense of the doubts, until I finally decided I couldn't lie to myself any longer and had to leave it behind.
Amazing interview. Thank you
37.00 "On philosophical-theological grounds and also on the historical-empirical evidence of how destructive they have been, the Abrahamic religions need to be rejected" This man speaks sense!
47:05 "I sent my book to someone who knows Donald Trump, therefore..." is a bizarre sentiment to express. Not only fails to embrace the universality claim made earlier, but seems to undermine it, by a kind of myopic self aggrandisement.

I have his book The Dharma Manifesto.Good read for social nationalists.
Whats a social nationalist?
A nationalist extrovert. Hahaha
It's the same thing as a civic nationalist, meaning a nationalist that is basically fine with any ethnicity or race living in his society as long as they assimilate into the culture, as apposed to an ethnic nationalist that wants to keep a country ethnically pure for the most part. In other words, a civic nationalist doesn't understand behavioral biology.
LOL That's only your asinine interpretation jughead, what backward universe do you live in? Obviously the ones always trying to shut down free speech to anyone who doesn't agree with them are the Leftists, and quite violently I might add. You know..the Leftist spawn of modern day mainstream academia!? Do I really need to be more specific?? So you couldn't be more wrong. You don't see nationalists trying to shut down the opposition, they are the ones always welcoming debate, and always the ones being refused to be heard by the so-called all inclusive Left. What shameless, self-righteous hypocritical turds you people are.
First of all, how could you possibly try to prevent me from speaking no matter how much you would love to?? So I guess that point is meaningless isn't it! Secondly, you insulted me by making a very stupidly presumptuous point of me thinking anyone who doesn't mimic my opinion must be part of a conspiracy. That was childish. There is certainly more than one way to name call dummy, so don't play innocent. I'm just honest and forward about it, and in response it's justified.

I have no beef but Hinduism, Sihkism and Buddism have fought their share of "holy wars." Never mind, the widow burning and the totally arbitrary corportist cruelty of the caste system. I agree the Abrahamic faiths have their own issues but so do all humans. Other than that we probably agree on much. Shalom & Namaste.
@@sahilsingh6048 They are different and Abrahamic ones have their own issues but they are not at all free of conflict, no human societies are. The Dharmic religions, in part, come out of the Indo European warrior traditions these were some assertive and even aggressive cultures, like the Indo Iranian Scythians and so on. I'm just saying that it's false to pretend that Dharmic societies don't have their own issues. My favorite religion is Zoroastrianism and even in that relatively peaceful tradition people tried to use it to justify some bad behavior. Cultures differ somewhat but people are people wherever you go.
Fantastic interview
The Eternal Truth: All is One. Hail to that One. Hail Great Mother!!!
indeed you can be European and you can practice sanatan dharma, thats why the concept of Isht dev it means you can have your local gods and you can pray to them like we can say god odin, thor we can pray them as Isht dev.
People should remember that the worship and religion itself went through many iterations and reforms to be in the form it is today. So, pre-christian europe religion and Indic religiins should be united is a foolish idea.
E.g. we moved from sacrifices to idolatory. I dont know what europe might have evolved onto, but Hindus still respect vedic gods and perform sacrifices.
I think Europeans should carefully study Hinduism and its evolution, forge their own path and make their own version of vedic religion.
Agreed, Hinduism is a valuable resource for understanding and reconstructing proto-european pagan traditions, but it should not simply be grafted onto the European order.

17:30 as an Indian and a sanatani myself, i cannot agree with the statement that sanatana dharma doesn't only belong to India but of all ancient pagan cultures.
Vedas were written in India ( maybe also in some part now pakistan). There might be some stories and gods common with indo european myths but the philosophy and rituals are all developed in India and had spread all arround south east asia and some part of central asia(through ancient silk route).
So Sanatana Dharma is Indian in all sense.
Yes but at the time it was created and written, what people made up whats today India? I dont know the answer myself, but I suspect there is some interesting things to find there

You respect other cultures so much.
It's a shame that not once did he get into the specific underlying truths that he kept referring to. I don't doubt that he knows some but imo it's bad optics to just keep saying you know 'the real transcendent truth, it's as real and universal as basic maths' but not give a single example or not even a hint of an example. I'm waiting to be converted over here and he gives me nothing. I will read the Bhagavad Gita though, it sounds like the sort of thing I'd be interested in.
Alexander Dugin again... What do we REALLY know about the man? Some say that the translations of his book can't be trusted and they must be read in original Russian in order to get an authentic grasp of his ideas.
Excellent video! In regards to the Kali Yuga and its inherent fluctuations. I have a video that shows some interesting correlation to the Zodiacal Wheel and our present position on it at the and of the Piscean age. Using what I call the Single Digit Code and how that relates to both the Zodiac and the Tarot reveal some rather interesting things with this Kali Yuga topic. the video is called "Osiron Tarot Spiral lV: Saturnian Realm of Death & The Spear of Destiny. It shows that we are on the Cusp of what will be a time of truth, possibly hard truth, but truth none the less.
p.s. I also have a really powerful multi-video presentation on the Yggdrasil and how it actually transforms into a 3D Octahedron Cube grid matrix. That;s a series that any Heathen should enjoy.
Just as I was coming to the realisation that it was time to 'ride the Tiger', I find this video. About 25 minutes in and I take a break to take the dogs out. I hear the sound of eight hooves running about in an adjacent field, two small ponies in the field rather than Sleipnir, but then again I didn't actually see them, only heard them! Then bang on cue, from the west two ravens come cruising in high above. Back inside to the video and it seems that 'riding the Tiger' may not be the best option, after all, unless you plan to throttle it. Back to the Bhagavad Gita.
Smart guy but he needs to remember that the intersection of Vedic knowledge with Western consciousness can also lead down the path of base self-worshipping Aryanism rather than a true unfolding of consciousness along the Advaita path. Nobody forgets Savitri Devi (Maximiani Portas) and her syncretism of Vedic teaching with National Socialism. He speaks of the positive aspects of defeating neo-liberalism but fails to outline the serious risks of embracing Vedic knowledge without grounding and with a preconceived idea of its utility as perhaps an authentic Indo-European alternative religion anchored in a mythically pure racial past. There are genuine problems with such a hope. He also tossed the Western religions but failed to acknowledge the remarkably profound, anti-systemic, non-dual mystical path within Islam that attracted people like Guenon and Schuon)
So you are saying national socialism is bad? you need to learn some more smart guy.
A VERY important note to make about Islam is that the Sufism branch is DEEPLY influenced by Persians.
Both the gentlemen you mentioned went on the Sufism path.
Fundamental Wahhabi Muslims consider Sufis infidels.
For good reason, a lot of the mysticism in Sufism is straight out of Zoroastrianism
And rather than Sufi, just read Zarathustra. Gathas, Ashavid, etc. Zoroastrianism is not dualistic of good and evil, but generation vs degeneration based on natural law.
From what I’ve read of Guenon and Evola and these guys is that they don’t actually know what they’re talking about with any real depth.
@@gospaironija2762 indeed, couldn't say it better. ⚡⚡🙋🏼
I’d go as far to say that Dharma and pre-Abrahamic European religion are the same religion.
Jai Sri Gurudev 🙏
there are hints these times that the vedic gods are identical with our own germanic/celtic gods. old europe and old india were stronly related. unfortunately we eg. in old saxony lost all the roots with the invasion 770, by force and with killing we became christians. but for me there was a special grace: `` om namo bhagavate``
since 40 years deeply connected with india, the mother, sri aurobindo, left that catholic air of my childhood,
even, when I arrived in india often I had tears in my eyes, didn´t know why, deeply touched already at the airport though a rational type.
since long time I live that approach to the yoga, efforts. we can and have do a lot indeed as a human being. the decisive point: the forces from above have to choose you for further progress, the shakti has to do the work. so I do my duties and surrender everything to the divine. that way life becomes very easy, outwardly I am invisible in my german setting, no special behavoir, talking a bit here and there, but keeping a distance. now some new fun: joined the AFD. whether europe/ the germans are worth to be saved from the invaders (africa,Islam) I don´t know what the divine intension is. I perform a duty without illusions. there is a battle aginst the light on many levels( even occult) but the victory is certain the divine mother said. from sri aurobindo I learned to be simple, seeing the divine also as a child that plays. gloire a toi seigneur, triomphateur supreme / the mother
open my mind, my heart, my life to your light, your love, your power. in all things I may see the divine /sri aurobindo
excellent interview.
Fun fact! You can be interested and identify with the spirituality of your own ancestors without devaluing that of other people's ancestors. E.g. racism has no place in spirituality
Laughs in caste system
Dharma = Logos?
The Sanskrit equivalent of the Greek 'logos' would be 'shabda' or 'Transcendent Word', which is the exclusive means by which transcendent truths are revealed. This is the case because 'shabda', being of the nature of the spiritual, corresponds in essence with the spiritual nature of transcendent truths. It is only via consciousness that we can know consciousness. It is only via spirit that we can know Spirit. It is only via atman (our individual soul) that we can know Brahman (God). It is only through 'shabda' that we can know transcendent truths. 'Shabda' represents the essential nature of spiritual realities as they exist in the form of trans-empirical vibrational frequency (thus Word, logos, etc...). Truth, being an eternal and living reality, can be accessed by human beings who have purified themselves, and who have absorbed their subjective consciousness in the Absolute supreme subjective consciousness (God), to such a degree that qualitative separation between themselves and God has ceased to exist. (Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Natural Way, 76-77)
I don't think he meant Logos literally meaning just "word" or "word of God" but rather Logos as the underlying principle of existence
I understand. Just offered some clarity if needed from Acharyaji's signature literary work. Acharyaji mentioned in the interview the perplexity of trying to designate an exact English equivalent to 'Dharma'. In the book he states, "Unlike the word 'sanatana', the term 'dharma' is a word that can be properly rendered into the English language only with the greatest of difficulty. This is the case because there is no one corresponding English term that fully renders both the denotative and connotative meanings of the term with maximal sufficiency ... Often 'dharma' has been inelegantly translated as 'righteousness', 'religion', 'law', 'duty', 'the way', 'morality', etc. While these terms are not incorrect per se, all of these attempts at translation are merely descriptions of the characteristic parts of Dharma. But the actual essence of Dharma lies behind them all ... The word 'dharma' is etymologically derived from the Sanskrit verb root 'dhr', meaning 'to sustain', 'to uphold', 'to support', etc ... The denotative meaning of 'dharma' straightforwardly designates an essential attribute of 'x' object - an attribute whose absence renders the object devoid of either rational meaning or existential significance ... An existent thing's 'dharma' is that which constitutes the thing's very essence, without which, the very concept of the thing would be rendered meaningless ... Just as every individual component of the world around us has its own inherent 'dharma' on a microcosmic scale, similarly, the world itself has its own inherent essential nature. In this more macro-cosmological sense, the term 'dharma' is designated to communicate the view that there is an underlying structure of natural law - a natural and intelligent order - that is inherent in the very intrinsic constitution of Being itself ... 'Dharma' is Natural Law. Thus, if we needed to render the entire term 'Santana Dharma' into English, we can cautiously translate it as 'The Eternal Natural Way'. (Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Natural Way, 42-45)
Thank you for doing that
Thanks Thomas for interviewing Acharyaji. I hope it was insightful. I'm sure your subscribers will find it as so. I enjoy much of your videos. You have a talent to educate and caress your audience with a soothing voice and tranquil choice of music (instrumental). I look forward to seeing more of your uploads in the future. Take care and best regards. Aum Shanti. Ramanuja (devotee of Acharyaji).
Why not the Rig Veda?
The Vedas originate from India...fact and spread out of India.
They contain myths and names and a language that were brought by Aryans into India. Fact.
Aryan is not a race or people.It means civilized,culture and righteous (living according to principles of religion).The Persians made it into a race,the british picked it up and create stories about it.Irreligious people not following norms and rules of society,religion,causing chaos are called mleccha.
Not correct.Vedas are handed down in a top down manner from God Vishnu to brahma and down to lower angels and rishis (both humans and devas).No one knows whether they came from India or not.Nothing to suggest that they were created in russia either. (Russian/Slavic/Baltic paganism is the closest to modern day hinduism).Highly likely that it was handed down to mankind simultenously in eurasia and elsewhere but not in Sumeria/mesopotamia since it was a distinct civilization.Also we know that a continent called Kumari Kandam existed (Lemuria) where Vedas were known/practiced (These are Dravidians - 4 states in india in the south).
@@Survivethejive this is like someone saying "modern technology, electricity, computers, internet, was created by Western civilization and spread out to the rest of the world, Facts"
Then you responding with "the technology contains mathematics which was created in India and spread into Europe through the middle East, facts".
Both these are true.... And suggesting the former doesn't own the technology cos it borrowed the building blocks from another culture is childish and simplistic. Both of your "facts" are correct. It is likely that a foreign group outside of today's geographic region of India brought in the language and god's etc, it is also almost certain that the Vedas and later Indian philosophy were composed in India. To discredit Indians with creating the Vedas is like discrediting western civilisations for creating modern technology. Credit and respect where it is due. Neither the philosophies of the Vedas nor modern technology is owned by any one race, they have simply been discovered by a certain group and propogated for all you cannot own an idea. Though credit where credit is due, to those that did in fact discover it and propogated it first. Again I'm not suggesting Indian "own" the Vedas in any sense.
STJ, As logical and probable as the AIT/AMT seems, most teachers (such as Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya) within Dharma don't uphold it. Do you think there is a good reason they do not apart from politics?
It's like Conor McGregor interviewing the Vedic Ron Jeremy.
Jones and Dugin? Is he joking?
yeah, that was extremely disappointing.
especially Dugin, he's human refuse.
Native Aboriginals from Western Australia, the oldest piece of land on earth, say that now is the time of the great awakening, or the “wirridjin”(hope its spelt correctly) or the “blackfellawhitefella dreaming”. They have stories of waiting for this new awareness of the whole world. They also have stories of why whales(aquatic mammals) beach themselves, it’s because they knew that horizontal finned “fish” used to live on land. How far does that go back??
Also aboriginals circumcised and had similar words as Sri Lankan words-In the northern lore, southern lore could be different as Australia was split by their natural lore as Northern lore and Southern lore. There was contact between Asia and Australia thousands of years ago? Over 80,000 years of continuous same story telling culture living today. Imagine the cultural knowledge that can be attained from them today
Rowan O’neill i am afraid you have some misconceptions about aboriginal Australians
Survive the Jive. ?? The oldest structure by design is in Australia dated to around 50,000 years in Kakadu national park. That’s old and the story is still around to be told. It was a secret. There is also Egyptian glyphs in Gosford. Very mysterious place here where I live and come from. Phoenician mines and everything. They knew a time before birds sung.
Survive the Jive. Sorry for changing ur subject.
I do enjoy ur work. My heritage is Irish/ Scottish with descends from The Second Fleet
