I'm Soo grateful Hinduism is willing to be shared digital. Thank you country of india. Thank you all. I will spend the rest of my life learning truth real truth from y'all. I hope I can share new truth to be added to y'all's truth by the time I'm an old man. Yay. O boy do I have a lot of learning to do.... I'm sooo excited. 10,000 different viraity of paths and million or more different sub gods lol nice . The more beautiful truth there is only one god, one truth many paths, no heresy,!?! , I love you. I love your faith. I see truth thanks to your(india) of sharing. We are one indeed.
Hindus belive knowledge is infinite.. Its impossible to learn one life... Atlest 10 trillion year want to learn all universe and self body mind sex all things.. I read 15 years all scripture of Hinduism jainism and Buddhism... So many stories book.. Infinite knowledge.. Its impossible to learn all things in one life...
Sufism of Islam share a lot of the Hinduism , There's a lot of similarities between the two ideas . But how the class of cast people into different statues is a little off , way off .Man in his interpretation of the written law . There arr many GODS , but all of there are in Unisys with each other . But there is one Almighty GOD that produces GODS ! I'm a Moorish Sufi Moslem , and I can recognized the GOD in Hinduism .
My search for truth also led me right to Hinduism. I was reared Christian and with that line of thought God is frightening. Hinduism makes God seem approachable, friendly, even. I also wish there were more teachers.
Pretty similar for me, as well, so I can understand. I wasn't born into Hinduism, I was raised christian, etc. In fact, I didn't even seek Hinduism out. It's hard to explain, but it actually sought me out. Like it was meant to happen or something. I've never felt more at peace with myself and everything around me since I began to embrace it and learn things about it. I'm definitely not stopping, either.
You were raised in biblical ignorance then. The God of the bible is Jesus Christ. Though there's more to it than that, Jesus is as perfect a representation of what God is actually like as we can possibly understand. He became human to show us what He is really like and we hated Him and killed the crap out of Him. He should be afraid of us. But He loves us. Who could possibly be more approachable than one who lets His creation kill Him and doesn't even fight back and still loves the ones who are killing Him? What more could He possibly do to be approachable? The views of Christianity that the vast majority of people have are 100% shallow presuppositions. Strawmen created by critics which have been woven into the general education of society. Pretend for a second that Satan is real. Doesn't it seem to anyone that he is doing a great job of keeping people away from Jesus through mountains of bad P.R.? Satan is incredibly intelligent.
@@jonathanvanryn6268 There are many religions but only one God. I am extremely happy and at peace with my relationship with the God of my understanding.
As a person from the west who is interested in spiritual enlightenment and eastern religions and spirituality, Hinduism is so very intriguing. I wish I had the money to go to India and immerse myself.
*_Why I'm Hindu?_* I'm a Hindu because it is one of most free religions of the world (I could say the only religion, a perspective) as it gives me the maximum freedom on almost everything. I'm a Hindu when I am not following any God, I am Hindu when I am following multiple gods, I am a Hindu when I am following one God, and what not. There is no limit in defining what Hinduism is, it is the tradition which allows me to dance in ecstasy, get ultimate experience of joy in the music (Nada Yoga), realise the self worth, know ownself. It provides me the ultimate freedom in living as I want, at the same time teaching me to follow the ontological theory originally can be drawn from the laws of Karma. It teaches me that the learning has no boundaries, and makes me to be shameless in learning anything that can provide benefits to others/society. Liberalism in learning can be seen when Hinduism openly talks about Kamasutra (The science of sexuality). The great science of consciousness and the mind donated to the world by Siddhartha (AKA Gotama Buddha) some of his teachings are yet to be proved by the modern sciences. There is more science in Hinduism than beliefs. Hinduism is the most diverse religion in the world with respect to its followings, cultures, traditions and values etc. It incorporates the different cultures from north to south, from east to west and the centre. The best thing I love about Hinduism is that it doesn't want you to change anything inside you or what you follow and who you follow, you can be a Hindu even when you don't go to the temple or any religious places, no obligations but to be nice to everyone and to yourself, and the last to know yourself. There is more to write on the beauty of Hinduism but the centuries will last, and the content won't. ❤️ A perspective with my little knowledge. Much love ❤️
@@suraj1245-p2q I appreciate the time you took to write that. I’ve spent years weeping for lack of anything that made sense to believe in. Hinduism has stumbled into my lap like a blessing I do not deserve nor claim to understand.
@@shaynarostro9136 Hinduism is so vast both in terms of timeline, evolution and diversity that no one can claim to understand it fully. We all practice bits and pieces we understand.
All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, the wages for our sin is death. The Good news is that God so loved the world, that he sent his ONLY begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Whoever believes in their heart that Jesus died on the cross, rose again on the 3rd and confesses with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, will be saved. God created us to have a relationship with him, only through Jesus can we be reunited with him.
We hindu believe in vasudev kutumbkum means whole world is my family, we believe in our mother father and teacher is greater than God .we hindu don't force any another for conversion because we believe in God live in every human being so we ignore non veg .read Gita and vedas for your basic knowledge 👌.

@@amittripathi8678you people don't force? I came to this video after seeing videos of Hindus forcing Muslims to chant something, put tilak on their fore head and forcing them to pray to a cow!
Hinduism is more of a Way-of-Life teachings than a typical "religion" label. It's better to educate oneself to enrich one's life than to be ignorant of the universal forces that affect us and become stagnant in life and beyond.
Other religion PPL get the whole universe answers only in hindusim🕉️when other religion was not even born our Vedas written already Brahma not just made a sperical globe but multiuniverse..
@@infinite5795 yes and no, Buddhists don't believe in Atman or Brahman so you can't be both but you can certainly follow both. Hindus and Buddhists sometimes pray together but they hold deities differently
You know, I was born into Christianity, I was raised that way. I had a spiritual awakening, but for some reason, Christianity doesn’t sit right with me. But Hinduism?! I’m feeling a serious pull towards it. The oldest religion in the world, so beautiful…
@david nichols Dude just shut the fuck up. If you're not a hindu, don't fucking watch videos of it. Shut up and stop acting like the white christian savior you think you are.
Just some of the problems I have (a former Hindu) with Hinduism:. 1. In reading the Vedas they don't mention later gods such as Shiva, Ganesh etc..why not? 2. Many gods were obviously myths, Shiva, Ganesh Hanuman..no such thing as anthropomorphic "gods"... The God who created this vast universe obviously does not look like a human or animal and is likely invisible to human eyes 3. The Upanishads (Vedanta) reads way too much into the Vedas that wasnt there to begin with.. (the Rig Veda esp. are only stories of how the Aryan gods "helped" them nothing more) 4. The Puranas story of "gods" were still being written a little over 1000 years ago...why so recent? 5. The Puranas are inconsistent between each other and within each one 6. The caste system is the worlds oldest form of apartheid (established by the conquering Aryans) --millions have suffered under it 7.There is absolutely no unified teaching of Hinduism nor unified body of direction...you can just about believe whatever you want and be a "Hindu".. 8.There is no unified, nor believable account of Creation...in the 10th mandala of the oldest book the Vedas it acknowledges that no one knows who or how all this is was created... 9.There is very little or no moral instruction by hindu priests...they are only used for and paid for (sometimes exorbitantly) ceremonies and useless mantras and "spells" 10.The doctrine of Samsar (reincarnation) makes no sense..why would God (gods) institute a process where you could not learn from your mistakes from a "past life"... 11.There are too many religious books and inconsistencies thruout each one- shows a vivid imagination by the rishis.. These are just some of the problems with Hinduism...there are more.... btw..I love my culture....but I have a real problem with the "truth" of Hinduism....
Definitely, I'd suggest to read the Bhagavad Gita, and about Advaita Vedanta, it's all about meditation/awareness and the philosophies behind it, our true nature
how can a Catholic believe in both? Unless the Christian is open minded not caught up in the dogma and understands christ consciousness but then would they could they really follow the church if they know about the dharma? Or learned the history? I couldn't but it did make me want to know the true yeshua teachings...which is very yogi and Buddhist❤❤
I didn't understand Christianity(suffocating) and I'm just learning about spirituality(2 yrs now). It has brought me here, a vision of Lord Shiva. Thank you for this information ✨
Proselytising abrahamics are political busybodies sans spirituality . The primary tendancy amongst these lot is wanting to thrust themselves uninvited. No wonder these miserables are seen attempting to teach Hindus Hinduism and Buddhists Buddhism.
"There is nothing more rewarding than Dharma, or ruinous than it's neglect" I love this. Everything in this Religion is so fascinating, humble and truth for me. Thank you for this highly educational video! Very fulfilling
Sharing knowledge to web. Dharma is not Religion. Dharma is a righteous duty, doing the right thing against the will of your mind( mind will certainly work to stop you doing right thing like regular excercise) or worldly circumstances or with calculation of profit or loss.
Nope! I always felt that Christianity was not my thing. Hinduism is so beautiful and its teachings as well as beliefs are just so…I don’t know how to explain it, but it feels so right when I pray and meditate following Hinduism rather than not. I was raised in a Christian household so I have to keep my newfound religion a secret, but I am truly passionate about my beliefs now.
Turn your heart to Christ in the bible, He only is our way to truth and salvation . religion has its earthly glory but there is none on earth that can compare with his glory
@@sheld803 If his beliefs line up with Hinduism that’s fine not everybody believes in Christianity and no one is to say which religion is right or wrong

I can relate. But personally, I liked my Catholic teachings and of course, loving all people of all faiths is the way. I had great Priests in my studies. I guess I just wanted something that felt more open. I still love our Christian neighbors. I still give Lord Jesus my utmost praise and I hold Hinduism just as special. Hatd to explain.
I started to learn about Hinduism about a year now my friends in big rapids Michigan they are Hinduism I never experienced anything like this never knew how much love and happiness powerful Hinduism me as a Christian I never knew about this including Buddha I'm trying to get deep down to learn about Hinduism.. Hinduism help me out with everything I appreciate and respect for all .I love India music and thier lifestyle especially Mantras Buddha ppl God bless each and one 🙏🕉️🙏🕉️🙏
@kalib Stanton that free food is also derived from Hinduism, countless Hindu Temples do it everyday for the last 3000-5000years atleast without taking a single penny from the eater.
@kalib Stanton actually, i am from India. If you come to India you will find that even Sikhs pray and worship Hindu Deities. Actually, the British divided Hinduism into various parts and by course of time it's becoming more apart. If you go to any Sikh ceremony you will hear prays to Hindu Gods.
Thank you for this beautiful video. I am a Hindu living in the US and wanted to teach my children more about our religion, and this will be very helpful.
I wasn't born into Hinduism. And for a very long time, I distanced myself from religion and spirituality entirely. I didn't even seek Hinduism out in the first place. It's hard to explain, but it actually sought me out. Like it was meant to happen or something. I've never felt more at peace with myself and everything around me since I began to embrace it and learn things about it. I'm not stopping, either. I feel my soul strongly being called to go to India, as well. So I hope to be there one day.
@Shruti Yadav I'll keep that in mind whenever I can finally visit. I love the ancient Hindu temples in your country. Also I'm learning to speak Hindi, but I'm not very good at it yet. I can read it just fine, but I don't know very many words yet.
@Shruti Yadav I know enough Hindi to hold a basic conversation, but sadly I don't have any Indian friends to practice conversations with. 😕 The sounds of the language are easy for me. I'm just not familiar with the meanings of some words yet. That temple looks amazing. It's a Shiva temple, correct? Also since you asked, मै अमेरिका से हूँ।
@Shruti Yadav I love and respect all of the deities, so I'll show that same respect to the temples. I strongly feel called to the goddesses, myself. Durga, especially. I only have one very small Hindu temple near where I live, but I'm grateful to have one at all. I've heard about the many different languages in India. I find them all interesting. I feel like it would still be helpful to know some Hindi, however. I actually enjoy learning it. The grammar messes me up sometimes, but I'm trying my best. 😅 I'll have to keep that place in mind. With how many places I wanna see over there, I may as well just live there. Haha. Joking aside, I'm serious when I say my soul is being called to be there. Hard to explain, but it feels like it's meant to happen. In the meantime, I'm doing my best to learn and understand the culture. Also, if you wanna chat on another platform besides youtube, I'm okay with that if you are. If not, it's okay, and I understand. I just appreciate the conversation, is all.
@Shruti Yadav honestly I'll be happy to explain why I feel the connection I feel, but I'm not sure if you or anyone else will believe me. It's a long story, but I deeply hope you'll read it anyway. You might enjoy it. So to start with, I have a spirit that's been watching over me my whole life. I found this out because a few months ago, I started to spiritually awaken. It came to me, and I didn't seek it out. I never was religious or spiritual up until that point. During that time, I discovered I have very strong intuitive abilities that I'm able to use whenever I want, which enables me to communicate with my spirit guide in a (somewhat) direct way. Through my communication with her, I found out she's an Indian lady that was born in the late 1400s and died in the mid 1500s. There's a temple in Tamil Nadu that my spirit guide told me she went to in her earthly life, and I really want to visit it. And she also told me that she was picked by Durga herself to watch over me. Hence why I feel so connected to Ma Durga and have so much love and admiration for her. I also recently came across something called jivanmukta, and it resonated very deeply with me. Basically a soul that's liberated while still human. I believe it's true for me, because it's always been difficult for me to have attachment to most things in this world, even before my awakening. And everything about my connection with Brahman and everything else in the universe just comes naturally to me. Living a peaceful life and doing good for others comes naturally to me. My connection to nature comes naturally. As with everything else, that concept sought me out. It's like this is all meant to be happening for me. It's all too perfect to be coincidence. I don't expect you to believe me, and I know it sounds crazy. But this is all very real, and I feel very blessed to put it lightly.

I found this video to be truly helpful. The way you broke each element down so thoroughly made it very easy to follow and made each topic clear and concise. Even when other major religions attempt something such as this, there are very often parts where narrators say, "You just have to rely on faith." For many people answers such as that simply aren't acceptable. After having so many Hindu misconceptions cleard up, and as a struggling Christian that has been having difficulty with blindly following a faith out of fear. I find myself drawn to the teachings of Hinduism. Many of the Hindu teachings go along with what I feel in my heart, yet contradict my Christian upbringing. I plan on looking into Hinduism further. Thank You.
You fools. Stop telling him not to convert and stop encouraging him to culturally appropriate and digest Hinduism while remaining Christian. If he feels in his heart that Hinduism is the right path for him, then let him commit and pursue it fully and become a Hindu complete with Hindu Dharmic initiation, ghar wapsi.
There are not 330 million gods in Hinduism. There are 33 "कोटि" gods Just like any other sanskrit word कोटि(koti) has various meaning like - "Crore(10 million) & Types" The correct meaning here is types.
@@Maria-fv5eb yes rigveda clarify of one god. We workship one god which have differnt form. Brahma - the genrator , vishnu- the organizer , shiva - the destructor and other forms of gods such as indra dev ( rain ) , suryadev( sun) etc. We belive that god created everything and we must repect all things
@@Maria-fv5eb first of all all the gods and goddesses in Hinduism are form of " ardhnarishwar " . You won't ardhnarishwar in recent times . But mata parvati and mahadev Shiv are divided from it . And all other are from both of them . So we have one God who took many forms, many faces.

My father met a practicing Indian woman she brought me to a temple to be blessed and I felt like that I was where I was supposed be and this is my attempt to further my education in the hindi religion
I had a very secular experience with a vary vague understanding of Buddhism growing up Han Chinese, Hinduism is more interesting and beautiful than I imagined, Im very against organized religions I see it as a tool to manipulate the least educated masses, But Hinduism seems like it’s urging you to explore your own consciousness and morality, it can really change how you view the world like with Daoism although it’s more of a philosophy than a religion.
God bless all of hindu. I'm praying for the best for you, your health, your future, and your afterlife. Stay optimistic in these pandemic days of #covid19.
In hinduism There is no afterlife, the life we call of physical existing of our conscience in this realm ends with spirit getting freed from all materialism from this death planet aka earth
While there are numerous philosophies to describe the depth of Sanatan Dharm and its comprehensivness which the priestly class i.e. Pandits who know nothing about it and the foreign forces have distorted over time resulting in caste system, superstitious beliefs, etc. hiding its real essence and vasteness like 1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted 2) Don't believe in God ! - You're still accepted as Nastik and can be a very good Hindu.... 3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak(idol worship) 4) You dont want to worship idols- no problem u can focus on Nirguna Brahman. 5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc are core Hindu schools 6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it. 7) You want to start your journey by reading "Bhagvad Gita"- Sure ! 8) You want to start your journey by reading "Upanishads" - Go ahead 9) You want to start your journey by reading "Purana"- Be my guest. 10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti(devotion) tradition. 11) You don't like idea of Bhakti(devotion) ! No problem. Do your Karma(moral duty) Be a karmayogi. 12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy. 13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - let's go ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic ! 14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship). 15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy 16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan(knowledge). 17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study ! 18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped. 19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family) 20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year. 21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu. 22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved. 23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu! 24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom. 25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe! 26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint. 27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!. Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.....
Not really according to Hinduism we are now in kaliyuga Hinduism might gain some traction for short period of 5000years after that there is non stop deterioration of Dharma... people will run behind materialism, have a huge ego, will only think about themselves and ruin the world then 2lakh years from now Vishnus 10 Avtar will take birth and end all evil
46:38 "Stoner Metal Deities" You got me. I'm sold. Joking aside, thank you for this video. I've been enjoying learning about Hinduism. I decend from Scottish, Scandanavian, and Irish Celtic peoples, and I believe Hinduism is perhaps the closest living relative to the Druidism my ancestors once practiced. The one thing that dissuades me from many faiths, however, is the worship aspect. If we are all one and all as Brahma, God, Goddess, Shiva, the Universe, or whatever you may call it, then why treat it as something sperate from ourselves? Meditation, Prayer, and Yoga, or even one who achieves a meditative or spiritual state via Excercise, Music, etc. appear to all be paths to the same end. In the same way of thinking you could even say they are all the same activity in a sense. Though perhaps this is just coming from my agnostic point of view.
1. Congratulations on rediscovering your native culture, unfortunately the Abrahamics got to your ancestors and destroyed most of it but certainly, Hinduism has many similarities with all ancient indo European religions. 2. I'm an agnostic hindu too, answering what you asked. Shiva, god, the supreme deity, is not us, rather we are a part created from it and our purpose is to unite into it and attain moksha.
What u asked is right. In hinduism, it is also said that if u want to find a God, it is within u. U just have to see beyond the maya. And yoga and meditation are a part to reach there. But, every soul is on its own journey of finding the truth and the surrounding situations play a huge part in what path he/she is going to take. From here these various other traditions arose. But, all paths r right.
you are not different than God, you have to awaken urself and resonate with the vibration of the higher energy in order to merge into the cosmos of the creator, and unless u do that u will keep having rebirths. creator in hinduism is adi shakti or adi parashakti or etc (ppl give different names to her) - she is basically nature or the cosmos herself and creation and destruction is inevitable, even the god's incarnation cannot escape it, that is the concept.
this is kind of confusing as the left hand path doesn't have the orthodoxy of say the Abrahamic religions now I call myself a Thiestic Satanist although some Satanists as I'm sure you already know say that's not "true" Satanism because it's an atheist religion focused on base instincts and self glorification... But I do believe in Lucifer honour him in every spell and ritual I do.
Also that is Baphomet worshiped by the Knights Templar and I like it for what the piece of art is. Night and day, male and female, beast and man, basically dualities brought together.
Watched until around 27 minutes (probably). It was very promising to hear the authentic attitude towards the things but it very quickly turned into essentially wikipedia/wikipedia summary
In the circus of facades where perceptions can be, many truthfulness is unwelcome until denial as a cure becomes impossible! Each person is knowingly or not on a spiritual journey of development learning many aspects of perceptions in spiritual lessons and history! Prayers for generations past, present, and future!
Dont fool urself, it is a religion, the real religion, ancient and orderly, it is not art of living, thats nonsense, it is religion thats why u fast, u don't eat meat or not on some days, thats why u believe in astrology, in nature, in worship, so don't fool urself and others saying its art of living, its not art of living, its a strong old religion, stronger than them all!
🙏Truth is eternal. Hindus pursue knowledge and understanding of the Truth: the very essence of the universe and the only Reality. According to the Vedas, Truth is One, but the wise express it in a variety of ways.🙏
Read Baghavat Gita, it's a great start, if you're interested in reading or book recommendations. Then study and recognize different aspects of Hinduism, namely - Monotheism Monism Polytheism Polymorphic Monotheism Henotheism Pantheism Panentheism Animism Agonism and Atheism (depending on which Philosophies of Hinduism). And more. Study the denominations/ Sampradhayas- Vaisnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, Smartism, Sauram, Etc. And Understand different theological perspectives. More i can list down (as simple as possible), unless if you wish to know more :)
What path are you interested in? Devotion or wisdom ? I would recommend you to follow a guru. Like Vivekananda, Ramakrishna paramahamsa, shiridi Sai baba, neem Karoli baba, Ramana maharishi (the recent one). The list goes on. If you are looking for wisdom path you can read upanishads ( might be tough for a beguinner) or follow enlightened persons like Jiddu Krishnamurthy or UG Krishnamurthy.
The hindu scriptures too say..that God is formless and those who do idol worship only attain pain. U should google is Shiva mentioned in egyptian civilisation? Google "Is shiva mentioned in the egyptian civilization" You will find a quora page showing pictures of all ancien civilisation gods...copied from each other..some connected some not. Scrol to the middle of the quora page. Like we have cow with all Gods n goddesses it in ..egypt too has a bull with their godd n goddesses in it. Theres also saraswati equivanent..Krishna is Hercules.his famous picture with many horses on a chariot Is the same as Hercules on many horses. Greek Indo Roman Egyptisn Turkish civilisations are the oldest including sumerian..they pretty much roamed about...migrated or shared or copied stuff from each other...some invented their own wheel. They made Gods from the patterns of constellations.. Parshurama is a constellation etc Brahma Vishnu Mahesh were yogis or enlightened beings who knew the vedas and attained samadhi...or highest level of self actualisation.. ..so people remember them..rama was king of Ayodhya n Krishna a prince of Mathura.. they learnt the vedas too...they were not divine but mukti jivas or liberated souls. .. We need to be like them not worship them. .we need to adapt their good qualities.... please watch KNOW YOUR VEDAS RUclips CHANNEL(search on youtube... KnowYourVEDAS) FOR MORE INFORMATION.. WE CANNOT PRAy TO HANUMAN TOO. THEY WERE SIDDH PEOPLE . THEY THEMSELVES PRAYED TO ONE MOST HIGH. .
*_Why I'm Hindu?_* I'm a Hindu because it is one of most free religions of the world (I could say the only religion, a perspective) as it gives me the maximum freedom on almost everything. I'm a Hindu when I am not following any God, I am Hindu when I am following multiple gods, I am a Hindu when I am following one God, and what not. There is no limit in defining what Hinduism is, it is the tradition which allows me to dance in ecstasy, get ultimate experience of joy in the music (Nada Yoga), realise the self worth, know ownself. It provides me the ultimate freedom in living as I want, at the same time teaching me to follow the ontological theory originally can be drawn from the laws of Karma. It teaches me that the learning has no boundaries, and makes me to be shameless in learning anything that can provide benefits to others/society. Liberalism in learning can be seen when Hinduism openly talks about Kamasutra (The science of sexuality). The great science of consciousness and the mind donated to the world by Siddhartha (AKA Gotama Buddha) some of his teachings are yet to be proved by the modern sciences. There is more science in Hinduism than beliefs. Hinduism is the most diverse religion in the world with respect to its followings, cultures, traditions and values etc. It incorporates the different cultures from north to south, from east to west and the centre. The best thing I love about Hinduism is that it doesn't want you to change anything inside you or what you follow and who you follow, you can be a Hindu even when you don't go to the temple or any religious places, no obligations but to be nice to everyone and to yourself, and the last to know yourself. There is more to write on the beauty of Hinduism but the centuries will last, and the content won't. ❤️ A perspective with my little knowledge. Much love ❤️
"My heart needs only one freedom - the freedom to dream..." - Hindu Yogi-Saint, Sri Chinmoy (In 2007, Sri Chinmoy was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev and many others.

I'm a moderately Christian writer who likes to take inspiration from well known mythologies-Greek, Roman, Norse, and even some Christian. I try to avoid using lore from still living religions that I am not part of, but I had a great stroke of inspiration upon hearing and reading about the goddess Kali, and how she lept from the folds of Durga's angry face. I have a character in a story I am writing who, among others, has a personal guardian spirit that protects her. This spirit has a similar design, sporting four arms, dark purple skin, and a nasty temper, as well as being summoned from the enraged face of the character she protects. I am worried that this could be considered harmful cultural appropriation, and the last thing I want to do is hurt others through inspiration. Should I change the character as to not accociate it with a religion I am not part of, contextualize in story, or simply not mention it?
Don't mention it if you are a Christian because you believe Christ is the only way and therefore it would negate the beliefs of people who worship Devi
You can give a nod to Hinduism where after seeing picture of Goddess Kali this person starts halucinating with something similar. You can keep it as long as you acknowledge the source.
If you're using the imagery of Kali. Give proper acknowledgement that where you got the inspiration from for this character ( Hinduism). Give proper acknowledgement and then it's morally, culturally right for one to use iconography of Kali.

Just some of the problems I have (a former Hindu) with Hinduism:. 1. In reading the Vedas they don't mention later gods such as Shiva, Ganesh etc..why not? 2. Many gods were obviously myths, Shiva, Ganesh Hanuman..no such thing as anthropomorphic "gods" 3. The Upanishads (Vedanta) reads way too much into the Vedas that wasnt there to begin with.. (the Rig Veda esp. are only stories of how the Aryan gods "helped" them nothing more) 4. The Puranas story of "gods" were still being written a little over 1000 years ago...why so recent? 5. The Puranas are inconsistent between each other and within each one 6. The caste system is the worlds oldest form of apartheid (established by the conquering Aryans) --millions have suffered under it 7.There is absolutely no unified teaching of Hinduism nor unified body of direction...you can just about believe whatever you want and be a "Hindu".. 8.There is no unified, nor believable account of Creation...in the 10th mandala of the oldest book the Vedas it acknowledges that no one knows who or how all this is was created... 9.There is very little or no moral instruction by hindu priests...they are only used for and paid for (sometimes exorbitantly) ceremonies and useless mantras and "spells" 10.The doctrine of Samsar (reincarnation) makes no sense..why would God (gods) institute a process where you could not learn from your mistakes from a "past life"... 11.There are too many religious books and inconsistencies thruout each one- shows a vivid imagination by the rishis.. These are just some of the problems with Hinduism...there are more.... btw..I love my culture....but I have a real problem with the "truth" of Hinduism....
@@pownbnull i dont know about what you wrote. But i think there is some truth in hinduism. I cant spent my time researching on vedas, puranas etc. Coz its very difficult. First of all reading vedas, etc in english doesnt make any sense. I want to read in my native language malayalam. And vedas are too long to study. I cant spent time for that. Thats just the vedas let alone puranas etc. I wish if some person with truth decoded the truth in all hindu scriptures.

You can find gurus who are properly educated in Sanskrit and the Puranas and Vedas in South India, especially in the region of Andhra Pradesh, since they come from a heritage of gurus who tell you exactly what it is .. undiluted, unadulterated truth of the Vedas and Puranas.. So many superstitions are debunked if you get to know the actual concept of the Vedas.
@@user_ar6332 There is one Vedanta school called Arshad Vidya Vahini. Its been a reliable school. However I think the best is Sri Kuppa Viswanatha Sarma. He is HoD of Nyaya dept at National Sanskrit university. He is humble, highly knowledgeable and expert in Vedanta.
I'm more a buddhist than a hindu but learning about one urged me to learn about the other the way i imagine a Christian would have curiosity about judaism but i can't find anything on youtube explaining lord krishna can someone help me
Hiduism is not a religion in the same sense as abrahamic religions are. Born and raised in a Hindu family in Bali, i am feeling more than ever that Hinduism conditions me to pursuit happiness in life. I also learn a lot and enjoy listening to virtual gurus: Gurudev, Sadhguru, Alan Watts, OSHO, J Krishnamurti, to name a few while actively involve in day to day Balinese Hindu traditions.

Sufism of Islam share a lot of the Hinduism , There's a lot of similarities between the two ideas . But how the class of cast people into different statues is a little off , way off .Man in his interpretation of the written law . There arr many GODS , but all of there are in Unisys with each other . But there is one Almighty GOD that produces GODS !

Yes! Thank you beautiful India. 🙏💓🕊💐
Thx for sharing your culture not only i need it for a test but its also interesting what hindus go through
My search for truth also led me right to Hinduism. I was reared Christian and with that line of thought God is frightening. Hinduism makes God seem approachable, friendly, even. I also wish there were more teachers.
Watch the Sadhguru on utube
You can watch Dharma Speaks on RUclips to learn more and more about Hinduism and it's Philosophies
Pretty similar for me, as well, so I can understand. I wasn't born into Hinduism, I was raised christian, etc.
In fact, I didn't even seek Hinduism out. It's hard to explain, but it actually sought me out. Like it was meant to happen or something.
I've never felt more at peace with myself and everything around me since I began to embrace it and learn things about it. I'm definitely not stopping, either.
You were raised in biblical ignorance then. The God of the bible is Jesus Christ. Though there's more to it than that, Jesus is as perfect a representation of what God is actually like as we can possibly understand. He became human to show us what He is really like and we hated Him and killed the crap out of Him. He should be afraid of us. But He loves us. Who could possibly be more approachable than one who lets His creation kill Him and doesn't even fight back and still loves the ones who are killing Him? What more could He possibly do to be approachable?
The views of Christianity that the vast majority of people have are 100% shallow presuppositions. Strawmen created by critics which have been woven into the general education of society. Pretend for a second that Satan is real. Doesn't it seem to anyone that he is doing a great job of keeping people away from Jesus through mountains of bad P.R.? Satan is incredibly intelligent.
@@jonathanvanryn6268 There are many religions but only one God. I am extremely happy and at peace with my relationship with the God of my understanding.
As a person from the west who is interested in spiritual enlightenment and eastern religions and spirituality, Hinduism is so very intriguing. I wish I had the money to go to India and immerse myself.
Its so vast diverse and evolving and full of oral traditions that it does requore some immersion. But even without it, you can get the hang of it.

Hinduism help me out with everything I appreciate and respect for all .I love India music and thier lifestyle especially Mantras Buddha ppl God bless each and one 🙏🕉️🙏🕉️🙏
@kalib Stanton that free food is also derived from Hinduism, countless Hindu Temples do it everyday for the last 3000-5000years atleast without taking a single penny from the eater.
@kalib Stanton actually, i am from India. If you come to India you will find that even Sikhs pray and worship Hindu Deities. Actually, the British divided Hinduism into various parts and by course of time it's becoming more apart. If you go to any Sikh ceremony you will hear prays to Hindu Gods.
Thank you for this beautiful video. I am a Hindu living in the US and wanted to teach my children more about our religion, and this will be very helpful.
I wasn't born into Hinduism. And for a very long time, I distanced myself from religion and spirituality entirely.
I didn't even seek Hinduism out in the first place. It's hard to explain, but it actually sought me out. Like it was meant to happen or something.
I've never felt more at peace with myself and everything around me since I began to embrace it and learn things about it. I'm not stopping, either.
I feel my soul strongly being called to go to India, as well. So I hope to be there one day.
@Shruti Yadav thank you, friend. Also, Indian culture is very interesting to me. What part of the country are you from?
@Shruti Yadav I'll keep that in mind whenever I can finally visit. I love the ancient Hindu temples in your country.
Also I'm learning to speak Hindi, but I'm not very good at it yet. I can read it just fine, but I don't know very many words yet.
@Shruti Yadav I know enough Hindi to hold a basic conversation, but sadly I don't have any Indian friends to practice conversations with. 😕
The sounds of the language are easy for me. I'm just not familiar with the meanings of some words yet.
That temple looks amazing. It's a Shiva temple, correct?
Also since you asked, मै अमेरिका से हूँ।
@Shruti Yadav I love and respect all of the deities, so I'll show that same respect to the temples. I strongly feel called to the goddesses, myself. Durga, especially. I only have one very small Hindu temple near where I live, but I'm grateful to have one at all.
I've heard about the many different languages in India. I find them all interesting. I feel like it would still be helpful to know some Hindi, however. I actually enjoy learning it. The grammar messes me up sometimes, but I'm trying my best. 😅
I'll have to keep that place in mind. With how many places I wanna see over there, I may as well just live there. Haha. Joking aside, I'm serious when I say my soul is being called to be there. Hard to explain, but it feels like it's meant to happen. In the meantime, I'm doing my best to learn and understand the culture.
Also, if you wanna chat on another platform besides youtube, I'm okay with that if you are. If not, it's okay, and I understand. I just appreciate the conversation, is all.
@Shruti Yadav honestly I'll be happy to explain why I feel the connection I feel, but I'm not sure if you or anyone else will believe me. It's a long story, but I deeply hope you'll read it anyway. You might enjoy it.
So to start with, I have a spirit that's been watching over me my whole life. I found this out because a few months ago, I started to spiritually awaken. It came to me, and I didn't seek it out. I never was religious or spiritual up until that point.
During that time, I discovered I have very strong intuitive abilities that I'm able to use whenever I want, which enables me to communicate with my spirit guide in a (somewhat) direct way.
Through my communication with her, I found out she's an Indian lady that was born in the late 1400s and died in the mid 1500s. There's a temple in Tamil Nadu that my spirit guide told me she went to in her earthly life, and I really want to visit it. And she also told me that she was picked by Durga herself to watch over me. Hence why I feel so connected to Ma Durga and have so much love and admiration for her.
I also recently came across something called jivanmukta, and it resonated very deeply with me. Basically a soul that's liberated while still human.
I believe it's true for me, because it's always been difficult for me to have attachment to most things in this world, even before my awakening. And everything about my connection with Brahman and everything else in the universe just comes naturally to me. Living a peaceful life and doing good for others comes naturally to me. My connection to nature comes naturally.
As with everything else, that concept sought me out. It's like this is all meant to be happening for me. It's all too perfect to be coincidence.
I don't expect you to believe me, and I know it sounds crazy. But this is all very real, and I feel very blessed to put it lightly.
Hinduism fits my way of life so perfectly. It's so subtle and beautiful

*_Why I'm Hindu?_*
I'm a Hindu because it is one of most free religions of the world (I could say the only religion, a perspective) as it gives me the maximum freedom on almost everything. I'm a Hindu when I am not following any God, I am Hindu when I am following multiple gods, I am a Hindu when I am following one God, and what not.
There is no limit in defining what Hinduism is, it is the tradition which allows me to dance in ecstasy, get ultimate experience of joy in the music (Nada Yoga), realise the self worth, know ownself. It provides me the ultimate freedom in living as I want, at the same time teaching me to follow the ontological theory originally can be drawn from the laws of Karma. It teaches me that the learning has no boundaries, and makes me to be shameless in learning anything that can provide benefits to others/society. Liberalism in learning can be seen when Hinduism openly talks about Kamasutra (The science of sexuality).
The great science of consciousness and the mind donated to the world by Siddhartha (AKA Gotama Buddha) some of his teachings are yet to be proved by the modern sciences. There is more science in Hinduism than beliefs.
Hinduism is the most diverse religion in the world with respect to its followings, cultures, traditions and values etc. It incorporates the different cultures from north to south, from east to west and the centre. The best thing I love about Hinduism is that it doesn't want you to change anything inside you or what you follow and who you follow, you can be a Hindu even when you don't go to the temple or any religious places, no obligations but to be nice to everyone and to yourself, and the last to know yourself.
There is more to write on the beauty of Hinduism but the centuries will last, and the content won't. ❤️
A perspective with my little knowledge.
Much love ❤️
Yes !! F*CK Freedom
There is discrimination in food
Discrimination in social status
You worship many Gods, one God, cows, rats, and all sorts. Make up your mind, you seem confused mate 😂
Ok just telling you allah created you not your god. Let's see what you gain from your religion! Any rewards?
We are a free soul, a wanderer & seeker of enlightenment according to hinduism
Hinduism is seemingly the only religion not full of hatred of judgement. No matter what people try to label it as.
I found this video to be truly helpful. The way you broke each element down so thoroughly made it very easy to follow and made each topic clear and concise. Even when other major religions attempt something such as this, there are very often parts where narrators say, "You just have to rely on faith." For many people answers such as that simply aren't acceptable. After having so many Hindu misconceptions cleard up, and as a struggling Christian that has been having difficulty with blindly following a faith out of fear. I find myself drawn to the teachings of Hinduism. Many of the Hindu teachings go along with what I feel in my heart, yet contradict my Christian upbringing. I plan on looking into Hinduism further. Thank You.
We in Hinduism donot believe in conversion.....you donot have to convert just learn, appreciate and be kind.
No need to convert ur religion, follow your religion😊
And Hinduism is not a religion, its way of life it teaches us how to live life
Peace🙏✌
I hope you will be freed of your fear and can find your path in comfort and love.
Islam is the only religion which never says "YOU JUST HAVE TO RELY ON FAITH" ...READ THE QURAN.
You fools. Stop telling him not to convert and stop encouraging him to culturally appropriate and digest Hinduism while remaining Christian. If he feels in his heart that Hinduism is the right path for him, then let him commit and pursue it fully and become a Hindu complete with Hindu Dharmic initiation, ghar wapsi.
Hinduism is not only religion also its way of life ☺️
I like eating beef in front of hindus
Technically, the same is true for all religions. Every religion has a set of customs that followers try to adhere to.
There are not 330 million gods in Hinduism.
There are 33 "कोटि" gods
Just like any other sanskrit word कोटि(koti) has various meaning like - "Crore(10 million) & Types"
The correct meaning here is types.
True. Brits were not able to translate & came up with this bizarre idea 😂😂😂
@@Im90tsure Ok
@@Maria-fv5eb A lot of faiths rely on oral tradition instead of written texts. It was taught in actions, values, culture and through spoken word.
@@Maria-fv5eb yes rigveda clarify of one god.
We workship one god which have differnt form.
Brahma - the genrator , vishnu- the organizer , shiva - the destructor and other forms of gods such as indra dev ( rain ) , suryadev( sun) etc.
We belive that god created everything and we must repect all things
@@Maria-fv5eb first of all all the gods and goddesses in Hinduism are form of " ardhnarishwar " . You won't ardhnarishwar in recent times . But mata parvati and mahadev Shiv are divided from it . And all other are from both of them . So we have one God who took many forms, many faces.

Imagine believing any religion whatsoever.
It's all mythology, and i love it as such.
I am a Muslim but I love Hinduism very much.
Then follow Santana dharma
You can only read hindu scriptures or do meditation if you really know more about sanatan dharm
This "but" is the root cause for ego.
Let's say :
I am a Hindu and I love Islam very much
And
I am a Muslim and I love Hinduism very much.
What kind of Muslim would love something that God Almighty frowns upon, as in something that would make you worship multiple Gods. This is not a religion but a joke. These people worship cows, rats and all sorts. I could tell you are a Hindu that loves Islam rather then the other way around 😏
@@dr.harshitajain6410 it would be hard to make Islam work with another religion. It’s very monotheistic

एक एक शब्द की व्युत्पत्ति और विवेचना करने पर और आत्म ज्ञान में सनातन धर्म संस्कृति के बारे में जानने की इच्छाएं जागृत होने लगती हैं ।

Just some of the problems I have (a former Hindu) with Hinduism:.
1. In reading the Vedas they don't mention later gods such as Shiva, Ganesh etc..why not?
2. Many gods were obviously myths, Shiva, Ganesh Hanuman..no such thing as anthropomorphic "gods"... The God who created this vast universe obviously does not look like a human or animal and is likely invisible to human eyes
3. The Upanishads (Vedanta) reads way too much into the Vedas that wasnt there to begin with.. (the Rig Veda esp. are only stories of how the Aryan gods "helped" them nothing more)
4. The Puranas story of "gods" were still being written a little over 1000 years ago...why so recent?
5. The Puranas are inconsistent between each other and within each one
6. The caste system is the worlds oldest form of apartheid (established by the conquering Aryans) --millions have suffered under it
7.There is absolutely no unified teaching of Hinduism nor unified body of direction...you can just about believe whatever you want and be a "Hindu"..
8.There is no unified, nor believable account of Creation...in the 10th mandala of the oldest book the Vedas it acknowledges that no one knows who or how all this is was created...
9.There is very little or no moral instruction by hindu priests...they are only used for and paid for (sometimes exorbitantly) ceremonies and useless mantras and "spells"
10.The doctrine of Samsar (reincarnation) makes no sense..why would God (gods) institute a process where you could not learn from your mistakes from a "past life"...
11.There are too many religious books and inconsistencies thruout each one- shows a vivid imagination by the rishis..
These are just some of the problems with Hinduism...there are more....
btw..I love my Indian culture....but I have a real problem with the "truth" of Hinduism....
@@pownbnull yes. To witness God you must first belive in what you do. If you belive krishna is one who keeps you safe. You may be able to witness God. Put 100% into it
@@pownbnull too many religion books? I don't even know where to begin with that. The books were written each with a purpose
It's not simply a faith, it's deep diverse complex spiritual philosophies & knowledge or ancient wisdom, We are free soul & seekers according to hinduism, Not blind believers So questioning is highly promoted, thus u'll find most of indians being super curious beings
Thank you for sharing this information and helping the rest of us understand what Hinduism represents and the beliefs held.

This is such an informative video. I very recently became what some call a Hindu and this was really helpful to me. Thank you.
Very interesting and respectful explanation.
I have recently started to get an education about Hinduism. This is such a fascinating topic.
I want to get into Hinduism.
Anyone can without birth. Read About Dharma and Karma 🙏🏻
Thank you for such beautiful explanation of Hinduism. Watching is very enlightening. THANK YOU Nameste
So calming.Thank you guruji
My father met a practicing Indian woman she brought me to a temple to be blessed and I felt like that I was where I was supposed be and this is my attempt to further my education in the hindi religion
*Hindu religion
I had a very secular experience with a vary vague understanding of Buddhism growing up Han Chinese, Hinduism is more interesting and beautiful than I imagined, Im very against organized religions I see it as a tool to manipulate the least educated masses, But Hinduism seems like it’s urging you to explore your own consciousness and morality, it can really change how you view the world like with Daoism although it’s more of a philosophy than a religion.
I have a yearning for this knowledge. I feel at of all the religious beliefs I have learned about. Hinduism is the truth.
God bless all of hindu.
I'm praying for the best for you, your health, your future, and your afterlife.
Stay optimistic in these pandemic days of #covid19.
🙏🙏🙏
What pandemic? A fear pandemic that is..
In hinduism There is no afterlife, the life we call of physical existing of our conscience in this realm ends with spirit getting freed from all materialism from this death planet aka earth
While there are numerous philosophies to describe the depth of Sanatan Dharm and its comprehensivness which the priestly class i.e. Pandits who know nothing about it and the foreign forces have distorted over time resulting in caste system, superstitious beliefs, etc. hiding its real essence and vasteness like
1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted
2) Don't believe in God ! - You're still accepted as Nastik and can be a very good Hindu....
3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak(idol worship)
4) You dont want to worship idols- no problem u can focus on Nirguna Brahman.
5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc are core Hindu schools
6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it.
7) You want to start your journey by reading "Bhagvad Gita"- Sure !
8) You want to start your journey by reading "Upanishads" - Go ahead
9) You want to start your journey by reading "Purana"- Be my guest.
10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti(devotion) tradition.
11) You don't like idea of Bhakti(devotion) ! No problem. Do your Karma(moral duty) Be a karmayogi.
12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy.
13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - let's go ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic !
14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship).
15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy
16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan(knowledge).
17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !
18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped.
19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family)
20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival.
Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year.
21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu.
22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved.
23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu!
24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom.
25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe!
26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint.
27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily)
This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!.
Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.....
Om Shanti🙏🏾🕉️I love itt 😍🔥
Future of the world is sanatana dharma🌺🧘♀️🕉🌸🙏
Not really according to Hinduism we are now in kaliyuga Hinduism might gain some traction for short period of 5000years after that there is non stop deterioration of Dharma... people will run behind materialism, have a huge ego, will only think about themselves and ruin the world then 2lakh years from now Vishnus 10 Avtar will take birth and end all evil
No thank you 😊
I am a christian but I like to learn about other religions. Respect.

46:38 "Stoner Metal Deities" You got me. I'm sold.
Joking aside, thank you for this video. I've been enjoying learning about Hinduism. I decend from Scottish, Scandanavian, and Irish Celtic peoples, and I believe Hinduism is perhaps the closest living relative to the Druidism my ancestors once practiced.
The one thing that dissuades me from many faiths, however, is the worship aspect. If we are all one and all as Brahma, God, Goddess, Shiva, the Universe, or whatever you may call it, then why treat it as something sperate from ourselves? Meditation, Prayer, and Yoga, or even one who achieves a meditative or spiritual state via Excercise, Music, etc. appear to all be paths to the same end. In the same way of thinking you could even say they are all the same activity in a sense.
Though perhaps this is just coming from my agnostic point of view.
1. Congratulations on rediscovering your native culture, unfortunately the Abrahamics got to your ancestors and destroyed most of it but certainly, Hinduism has many similarities with all ancient indo European religions.
2. I'm an agnostic hindu too, answering what you asked. Shiva, god, the supreme deity, is not us, rather we are a part created from it and our purpose is to unite into it and attain moksha.
What u asked is right. In hinduism, it is also said that if u want to find a God, it is within u. U just have to see beyond the maya. And yoga and meditation are a part to reach there. But, every soul is on its own journey of finding the truth and the surrounding situations play a huge part in what path he/she is going to take. From here these various other traditions arose. But, all paths r right.
you are not different than God, you have to awaken urself and resonate with the vibration of the higher energy in order to merge into the cosmos of the creator, and unless u do that u will keep having rebirths. creator in hinduism is adi shakti or adi parashakti or etc (ppl give different names to her) - she is basically nature or the cosmos herself and creation and destruction is inevitable, even the god's incarnation cannot escape it, that is the concept.
Truth is one, paths are many. Thank you very very much for this video.
Wow this is so close to my way of seeing the world. I'm left hand path and it covers every thing I believe in a slightly different way. Thank you.
Why the devil's picture 🤦🏻♀️
Rish why not. And its not the devil. Dont be an ignorant.
Your words are very encourging! I too am left hand path and find hinduism to be very alike. Are you luciferian?
this is kind of confusing as the left hand path doesn't have the orthodoxy of say the Abrahamic religions now I call myself a Thiestic Satanist although some Satanists as I'm sure you already know say that's not "true" Satanism because it's an atheist religion focused on base instincts and self glorification... But I do believe in Lucifer honour him in every spell and ritual I do.
Also that is Baphomet worshiped by the Knights Templar and I like it for what the piece of art is. Night and day, male and female, beast and man, basically dualities brought together.
Just purchased "What is Hinduism?" for my Kindle. Thank you for the video.
Have fun learning the truth
Hinduism is about the relationship between the 3 eternities viz. God, Souls and Matter.
More like Sat Chit Ananda. Truth, intellect and happiness.
Watched until around 27 minutes (probably). It was very promising to hear the authentic attitude towards the things but it very quickly turned into essentially wikipedia/wikipedia summary
I'm a Muslim but Hinduism seems more credible.
Thanks brother🙏💐
Read the TABLETS OF THOTH. I believe in that. I am learning this for my friend who is Hindu.
@@candacesturtevant7139 what is table of toth ?
They're both equal, in the sense that neither have any evidence, so it's cool. Believe whichever you think has a better story
Hinduism has evidences
Thank you , my Indians teachers.
Thank you for this info. Well presented and simple enough to gain a grasp of some basic concepts
In the circus of facades where perceptions can be, many truthfulness is unwelcome until denial as a cure becomes impossible! Each person is knowingly or not on a spiritual journey of development learning many aspects of perceptions in spiritual lessons and history! Prayers for generations past, present, and future!
Hindu is not a religion. It is way of living. Ancient world lived in peace and prosperity. Why not today?.
Check out this video about Hinduism ruclips.net/video/SPhwBJM7-Lk/видео.html
Dont fool urself, it is a religion, the real religion, ancient and orderly, it is not art of living, thats nonsense, it is religion thats why u fast, u don't eat meat or not on some days, thats why u believe in astrology, in nature, in worship, so don't fool urself and others saying its art of living, its not art of living, its a strong old religion, stronger than them all!
Bcoz nowadays people worship satanic religions like islam and christianity
Religions which promotes force and curses for hell
Well, only Hinduism allows to question God from ancient times and is not defined on bookish knowledge.
🙏Truth is eternal. Hindus pursue knowledge and understanding of the Truth: the very essence of the universe and the only Reality. According to the Vedas, Truth is One, but the wise express it in a variety of ways.🙏
This is amazing. Get this man a job at NatGeo.
I am very much interested in Hinduism, do you have any tips where to start or which books to read?
Read Baghavat Gita, it's a great start, if you're interested in reading or book recommendations.
Then study and recognize different aspects of Hinduism, namely -
Monotheism
Monism
Polytheism
Polymorphic Monotheism
Henotheism
Pantheism
Panentheism
Animism
Agonism and Atheism (depending on which Philosophies of Hinduism).
And more.
Study the denominations/ Sampradhayas- Vaisnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, Smartism, Sauram, Etc. And Understand different theological perspectives.
More i can list down (as simple as possible), unless if you wish to know more :)
Read The Complete works of Swami Vivekananda....
What path are you interested in? Devotion or wisdom ? I would recommend you to follow a guru. Like Vivekananda, Ramakrishna paramahamsa, shiridi Sai baba, neem Karoli baba, Ramana maharishi (the recent one). The list goes on. If you are looking for wisdom path you can read upanishads ( might be tough for a beguinner) or follow enlightened persons like Jiddu Krishnamurthy or UG Krishnamurthy.
Read a good translation of Gita! If you are still inquisitive, read Vedanta and continue if you care! There is a whole library for you!
I love the mantra music from Ganesha it is very relaxing.
Hinduism has the most cool stuff.
The hindu scriptures too say..that God is formless and those who do idol worship only attain pain.
U should google is Shiva mentioned in egyptian civilisation? Google
"Is shiva mentioned in the egyptian civilization"
You will find a quora page showing pictures of all ancien civilisation gods...copied from each other..some connected some not. Scrol to the middle of the quora page. Like we have cow with all Gods n goddesses it in ..egypt too has a bull with their godd n goddesses in it. Theres also saraswati equivanent..Krishna is Hercules.his famous picture with many horses on a chariot Is the same as Hercules on many horses. Greek Indo Roman Egyptisn Turkish civilisations are the oldest including sumerian..they pretty much roamed about...migrated or shared or copied stuff from each other...some invented their own wheel. They made Gods from the patterns of constellations.. Parshurama is a constellation etc
Brahma Vishnu Mahesh were yogis or enlightened beings who knew the vedas and attained samadhi...or highest level of self actualisation.. ..so people remember them..rama was king of Ayodhya n Krishna a prince of Mathura.. they learnt the vedas too...they were not divine but mukti jivas or liberated souls. .. We need to be like them not worship them. .we need to adapt their good qualities.... please watch KNOW YOUR VEDAS RUclips CHANNEL(search on youtube... KnowYourVEDAS) FOR MORE INFORMATION.. WE CANNOT PRAy TO HANUMAN TOO. THEY WERE SIDDH PEOPLE . THEY THEMSELVES PRAYED TO ONE MOST HIGH.

What’s so great about Hinduism?
@@ml1712 If you want to know why Hinduism is great, you have to read Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads.
I am a proud gentile and I also am interested in Hinduism.
This is great thank you!
*_Why I'm Hindu?_*
I'm a Hindu because it is one of most free religions of the world (I could say the only religion, a perspective) as it gives me the maximum freedom on almost everything. I'm a Hindu when I am not following any God, I am Hindu when I am following multiple gods, I am a Hindu when I am following one God, and what not.
There is no limit in defining what Hinduism is, it is the tradition which allows me to dance in ecstasy, get ultimate experience of joy in the music (Nada Yoga), realise the self worth, know ownself. It provides me the ultimate freedom in living as I want, at the same time teaching me to follow the ontological theory originally can be drawn from the laws of Karma. It teaches me that the learning has no boundaries, and makes me to be shameless in learning anything that can provide benefits to others/society. Liberalism in learning can be seen when Hinduism openly talks about Kamasutra (The science of sexuality).
The great science of consciousness and the mind donated to the world by Siddhartha (AKA Gotama Buddha) some of his teachings are yet to be proved by the modern sciences. There is more science in Hinduism than beliefs.
Hinduism is the most diverse religion in the world with respect to its followings, cultures, traditions and values etc. It incorporates the different cultures from north to south, from east to west and the centre. The best thing I love about Hinduism is that it doesn't want you to change anything inside you or what you follow and who you follow, you can be a Hindu even when you don't go to the temple or any religious places, no obligations but to be nice to everyone and to yourself, and the last to know yourself.
There is more to write on the beauty of Hinduism but the centuries will last, and the content won't. ❤️
A perspective with my little knowledge.
Much love ❤️

"My heart needs only one freedom - the freedom to dream..."
- Hindu Yogi-Saint, Sri Chinmoy
(In 2007, Sri Chinmoy was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev and many others. He gave meditations at the UN for 30 years and at the US Capitol for 20 years).
The Rig Veda describes many battles. The Bhagvad Gita also teaches Krishna to engage in battle as matter of Dharma.
@Mayuresh Veda never say about war Veda is basically, the guidelines for the creation... Kurukshetra war was good against evil as Kaurawa refused the right of Pandavas..
Thanks so much for making this and posting this 💕
I'm a moderately Christian writer who likes to take inspiration from well known mythologies-Greek, Roman, Norse, and even some Christian. I try to avoid using lore from still living religions that I am not part of, but I had a great stroke of inspiration upon hearing and reading about the goddess Kali, and how she lept from the folds of Durga's angry face. I have a character in a story I am writing who, among others, has a personal guardian spirit that protects her. This spirit has a similar design, sporting four arms, dark purple skin, and a nasty temper, as well as being summoned from the enraged face of the character she protects. I am worried that this could be considered harmful cultural appropriation, and the last thing I want to do is hurt others through inspiration. Should I change the character as to not accociate it with a religion I am not part of, contextualize in story, or simply not mention it?
What about Jesus?
Don't mention it if you are a Christian because you believe Christ is the only way and therefore it would negate the beliefs of people who worship Devi
You can give a nod to Hinduism where after seeing picture of Goddess Kali this person starts halucinating with something similar. You can keep it as long as you acknowledge the source.
If you're using the imagery of Kali. Give proper acknowledgement that where you got the inspiration from for this character ( Hinduism).
Give proper acknowledgement and then it's morally, culturally right for one to use iconography of Kali.
Very nice presentation. Thank you.
Who likes reading and to know more about the religions of the world like me ?! 💙
Learn about Jesus.. He’s the one who the Father sent to die on your behalf
@@byronloves7472 lol, why did he do that? I would never kill my son.
@@stevesavage4247 1. Your son isn’t enough to give.. 2. The reason you wouldn’t is you don’t have enough love for humanity.
@@byronloves7472 or maybe... if I were the one making the rules I would love humanity enough to not create hell? I definitely wouldn't make some ridiculous rule for myself that to ship myself from doing something bad to humans my son would have to get tortured to death... what kind of sick person creates a system like that?
@@stevesavage4247 you blaspheme God without knowledge.. not to insult you but it’s just a true fact that only fools say many words and opinions without seeking to understand.. God will get His glory.. and if you don’t repent of your evil ways and forsake your evil heart, then your sins will drag you before a holy God for judgement with no one to blame and you will regret.. I’m not even lying, it’s actually true.. and I’d hate that for you man.. just humble yourself and submit to your creator and then you will be enlightened to His love.
Nice, calm voice and clear and informative video
I am amazed seeing and hearing you. Thank you from my ♥. What a peaceful philosophy !!

The song in the very beginning is really good. What is it called?
I am student of high school i listen your videos for inner peace
All you need is Jesus my friend !
As someone who feels a draw to visit to immerse my self in Hinduism the culture the spirituality I am waiting on a passport as never travelled as I wasted over 25 yrs in addiction I just feel that I must visit even by self I just have a calling there as cliche as that sounds I am meditating and trying yoga each day I send love peace n light to all and as scared as I am it’s something I long to do ,, ~namaste~
Hinduism is so diverse. There is something for everyone to explore. My spirit feels relaxed when i watch epic poems , devotional songs , chanting etc
Wishing you peace, discernment and fulfilling ascendance. Prosper in peace and love.
Thank you for this very enlightening lecture.
thank you for the upload. sending love from vienna ❤️❤️❤️🙏
I am proud of hinduism
Just some of the problems I have (a former Hindu) with Hinduism:.
1. In reading the Vedas they don't mention later gods such as Shiva, Ganesh etc..why not?
2. Many gods were obviously myths, Shiva, Ganesh Hanuman..no such thing as anthropomorphic "gods"
3. The Upanishads (Vedanta) reads way too much into the Vedas that wasnt there to begin with.. (the Rig Veda esp. are only stories of how the Aryan gods "helped" them nothing more)
4. The Puranas story of "gods" were still being written a little over 1000 years ago...why so recent?
5. The Puranas are inconsistent between each other and within each one
6. The caste system is the worlds oldest form of apartheid (established by the conquering Aryans) --millions have suffered under it
7.There is absolutely no unified teaching of Hinduism nor unified body of direction...you can just about believe whatever you want and be a "Hindu"..
8.There is no unified, nor believable account of Creation...in the 10th mandala of the oldest book the Vedas it acknowledges that no one knows who or how all this is was created...
9.There is very little or no moral instruction by hindu priests...they are only used for and paid for (sometimes exorbitantly) ceremonies and useless mantras and "spells"
10.The doctrine of Samsar (reincarnation) makes no sense..why would God (gods) institute a process where you could not learn from your mistakes from a "past life"...
11.There are too many religious books and inconsistencies thruout each one- shows a vivid imagination by the rishis..
These are just some of the problems with Hinduism...there are more....
btw..I love my culture....but I have a real problem with the "truth" of Hinduism....
@@pownbnull i dont know about what you wrote. But i think there is some truth in hinduism. I cant spent my time researching on vedas, puranas etc. Coz its very difficult. First of all reading vedas, etc in english doesnt make any sense. I want to read in my native language malayalam. And vedas are too long to study. I cant spent time for that. Thats just the vedas let alone puranas etc.
I wish if some person with truth decoded the truth in all hindu scriptures.
@@pownbnull i think hinduism is a has many truths rather than other religions.
@@pownbnull so if you are a former hindu, now which religion do you follow
@@Jahnvi-p6g don't worry. He hasn't learned our religion properly yet
Wooow, great video! So heartfelt and informative. Thank you 🧡

Thank you, Paras.
You can find gurus who are properly educated in Sanskrit and the Puranas and Vedas in South India, especially in the region of Andhra Pradesh, since they come from a heritage of gurus who tell you exactly what it is .. undiluted, unadulterated truth of the Vedas and Puranas.. So many superstitions are debunked if you get to know the actual concept of the Vedas.
do you know anyone who would be willing to teach me vedanta?
@@user_ar6332 There is one Vedanta school called Arshad Vidya Vahini. Its been a reliable school. However I think the best is Sri Kuppa Viswanatha Sarma. He is HoD of Nyaya dept at National Sanskrit university.
He is humble, highly knowledgeable and expert in Vedanta.
I'm more a buddhist than a hindu but learning about one urged me to learn about the other the way i imagine a Christian would have curiosity about judaism but i can't find anything on youtube explaining lord krishna can someone help me
Read Mahabharata, Bhagwat gita in ur journey to be introduced to lord krishna

Hiduism is not a religion in the same sense as abrahamic religions are. Born and raised in a Hindu family in Bali, i am feeling more than ever that Hinduism conditions me to pursuit happiness in life. I also learn a lot and enjoy listening to virtual gurus: Gurudev, Sadhguru, Alan Watts, OSHO, J Krishnamurti, to name a few while actively involve in day to day Balinese Hindu traditions.
