Brilliant podcast. Guest suggestion for Shri Vinamre : Shri Harsh Madhusudan for a talk on the Indian Economy. And of course Shri J Sai Deepak now that he has been mentioned so much on Dostcast. Thank you.
Hinduism has a lot of philosophy and many school of thoughts and recorded debates between these schools of thoughts , So not really "religion", but Indic philosophy .
for a better understanding of JSD's point, you should bring him. Kushal is not correctly phrasing JSD's view, because Kushal is directly talking about decoloniality, whereas JSD has always clarified that decoloniality for Bharat will be different and it has to be discussed. JSD clarified the difference between post-coloniality, post-modernism and decoloniality.
You hit the nail on the head. JSD is very humble in making these points. His emphasis is about using Decolonial framework in Indian context, mainly epistemic reconstitution. Again, JSD has been clear about how "rationality" "modernity" were used by the colonizer to systematically map their OETs on Dharmic OETs in an effort to suppress the emergence of Hindu/dharmic consciousness among the colonized. It was colonizer's objective to show how "irrational" and "primitive" our way of life was and how regressive and useless our traditional knowledge systems were. It is in this context, JSD was saying "rationality" "modernity" were used to impose Christian worldview, even though, in reality, the words themselves and their meanings have nothing to do with Christianity. I think this very subtle point is missed by our podcast intellectuals.
Last point on married to social media is so relatable haha. Since lockdown happened, I just cut off from the outside world, my friend circle. I need to work on that. Thanks:)
It was so refreshing to listen to kushal speak...this is more of what we need ..we need to be open minded and not be afraid to admit when we are wrong....

EPISTEMOLOGY OR MEANS OF KNOWLEDGE 5. प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि pratyakshānumanāgamāh pramaṇāni. Direct perception, inference, and evidence of background knowledge, are proofs. (Patanjali Sutra 1.7) The above aphorism from the Yoga Sutra epitomises the Sanātana approach to gaining true knowledge. Of the nine darshanas in the Indian philosophy (six orthodox darshanas - Veda, Vedānta, Yoga, Sāṃkhya, Nyāya, Vaiśeśika; and three heterodox darshanas - Buddhism, Jainism and Ćārvāka), each one of them relies on a certain number of valid means of gaining knowledge. These are: 1. Pratyaksha - Empirical Evidence 2. Anumāna - Inference 3. Upamāna - Analogy 4. Arthāprapti - Deduction 5. Anupalabdhi - Non-existence 6. Shabda Pramāṇa - Scriptural evidence, or Background knowledge The nine systems of Indian philosophies have their own ways of treating these evidences as valid means to knowledge: 1. Veda - all six 2. Vedānta - all six 3. Yoga - 1, 2 and 6 4. Sāṃkhya - 1, 2 and 6 5. Nyāya - 1, 2, 3, and 6 6. Vaiśeśika - 1 and 2 7. Buddhism - 1 and 2 by the Buddha, 6 added later 8. Jainism - 1, 2, 3, and 6 9. Ćarvāka - 1 only In every Indian system, which obviously includes Hinduism, empirical evidence, or knowledge gained through direct sensory perception is common to every darshana, or philosophical system. The empirical is also placed at the highest pedestal in every system. What is most striking in this elaborate methodology of gaining knowledge is the fact that the Shabda Pramāṇa, or the Scriptural Evidence in our context is worthless in the absence of empirical evidence, or the Pratyaksha Pramāṇa. Isn’t this also the way of Science? Srimad-Bhagavatam puts it in a different way, though in a similar vein: श्रुति: प्रत्यक्षमैतिह्यमनुमानं चतुष्टयम् । प्रमाणेष्वनवस्थानाद् विकल्पात् स विरज्यते ॥ १७ ॥ śrutiḥ pratyakṣam aitihyam anumānaṁ catuṣṭayam pramāṇeṣv anavasthānād vikalpāt sa virajyate From the four types of evidence - Vedic knowledge, direct experience, traditional wisdom and logical induction - one can understand the temporary, insubstantial situation of the material world, by which one becomes detached from the duality of this world. Further elaboration may be had in the Mahabhārata: ‘pratyaksham hyetyormūlam kritantai etihyorapi, pratyaksheṇāgamobhinnah kritanto vā na kinchan’, essentially meaning that in case of a conflict between direct evidence and inference/scriptural evidence, direct evidence shall prevail because it is at the root of both inferential evidence and scriptural evidence. There cannot be a greater acceptance of the scientific method. Srimadbhagwadgita, the last word in Sanatana Dharma has Shri Krishna going to the extent of saying that if you have experienced the Truth, even Vedas are of no use - I treat it as the ultimate expression in privileging the pratyaksha pramāṇa over even the Vedas, which many traditionalist claim to be the revealed word, a generally wrong translation of Apaurusheya: yāvān artha udapāne sarvatah samplutodake/ tāvān sarveshu vedeshu brāhmaṇasya vijānatah भावार्थ : सब ओर से परिपूर्ण जलाशय के प्राप्त हो जाने पर छोटे जलाशय में मनुष्य का जितना प्रयोजन रहता है, ब्रह्म को तत्व से जानने वाले ब्राह्मण का समस्त वेदों में उतना ही प्रयोजन रह जाता है॥46॥- Translation: A Brahman knowing Brāhmaṇa has only that much use for the Vedas as a man surrounded by great mass of water has for a small pond. Adi Shankaracharya also said: ‘gnānam na purushatantram, kintu vastutantram’ - knowledge is not derived through word of command, but through objective reality. Sutra 9 of the Patanjali Sutra, Samādhi Pāda makes it even more explicit: ‘shabdagnānupāti vastushūnyo vikalpah’ - acquisition of knowledge through scriptural evidence is delusional in the absence of objective corroboration. This is an illustration of the Sanatana Dharma’s concern about the right means of knowledge through scientific and objective methods, and through blind belief.
"Sanatana Dharma’s concern about the right means of knowledge through scientific and objective methods" You mean only vedanta school of thought because carvaka rejects it and vedanta does not require only 6 methods alone there is also a mystical insight aspect of it in yogacharya plus buddhism is not vedic dharma looks like you have assorted gallimaufrey of epistemic thought in indian tradition and highlighted them

He highlights the challenges of engaging in complex topics within the constraints of platforms like Twitter.

58:46 Caste system hasn't been there for 5000 years. It happened in later stages, and when you talk of annihilation of Jaati Varna, don't forget the annihilation of caste based reservations also..
I know it's quite late for this comment but Kushal is talking about the occupation based varna system too, he says before this "...Harsh Madhusudan Gupta doesn't agree with birth based jati varna... I say we should destroy this whole system which has been going on for 4 to 5 thousand years..." He believes in scrapping the entire concept of varna, whether occupation based or birth based. Surely, the occupation based system has been going on for at least 3500 years, and it may have existed even before that.
Mehra ji, I have been living in the U.S. for over 40 years and seen gradual changes both in the composition of Indian community as well as the way we are treated here. I see no oppression! But the discrimination definitely exists. It shows in the earnings difference, believe it or not. The indian community as a whole had a high family income mainly because we also have the highest level of education. Nearly twice the level of college graduates compared to the American average. If you compare the income of comparably educated Indian family with same level white family there is a distinct and vast difference. The white family earns much more. In recent decades the less educated Indian immigrants have brought in Indians who do bot enjoy the advantage of high education that my generation had. They must deal with the harsher reality. What remains a strange puzzle is the recent agitation of alleged caste discrimination in America. The allegation amounts to the assertion that casteHindus have so much clout that even in America they practice caste politics. They don’t have that power.The accusation is clearly not directed at the American system but at Hindus. Some universities have set caste as equivalent of race, an indication of how poorly the academia in thus country is informed and what a poor job Indian academics have been doing knowing Hindu scriptures and teaching about them. Oppression of dark skinned christians by white skinned christians is not considered part of christianity but a social phenomenon. But castes are treated as part and parcel of Hinduism. The Hindu American Foundation is leading the effort to educate the officials and fight for an accurate presentation of Hindu traditions.
Atheism is Neo Abrahamicism, it's militant in nature and goes against the spirit of polytheistic idea of coexistence; also not believing in God and Goddess is an integral practice of certain sects of Hindus like Samkhya, but they call themselves Nastik and not Atheist as they are completely different terms and shouldn't be used for one another. 🙏🏻
@@prathmesh7282 he means that there is a difference between abrahmic religions and Indic faith systems. And atheism is also like abrahmic religion which is hostile towards Indic faith systems.

EPISTEMOLOGY OR MEANS OF KNOWLEDGE
5. प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि
pratyakshānumanāgamāh pramaṇāni.
Direct perception, inference, and evidence of background knowledge, are proofs. (Patanjali Sutra 1.7)
The above aphorism from the Yoga Sutra epitomises the Sanātana approach to gaining true knowledge. Of the nine darshanas in the Indian philosophy (six orthodox darshanas - Veda, Vedānta, Yoga, Sāṃkhya, Nyāya, Vaiśeśika; and three heterodox darshanas - Buddhism, Jainism and Ćārvāka), each one of them relies on a certain number of valid means of gaining knowledge. These are:
1. Pratyaksha - Empirical Evidence
2. Anumāna - Inference
3. Upamāna - Analogy
4. Arthāprapti - Deduction
5. Anupalabdhi - Non-existence
6. Shabda Pramāṇa - Scriptural evidence, or Background knowledge
The nine systems of Indian philosophies have their own ways of treating these evidences as valid means to knowledge:
1. Veda - all six
2. Vedānta - all six
3. Yoga - 1, 2 and 6
4. Sāṃkhya - 1, 2 and 6
5. Nyāya - 1, 2, 3, and 6
6. Vaiśeśika - 1 and 2
7. Buddhism - 1 and 2 by the Buddha, 6 added later
8. Jainism - 1, 2, 3, and 6
9. Ćarvāka - 1 only
In every Indian system, which obviously includes Hinduism, empirical evidence, or knowledge gained through direct sensory perception is common to every darshana, or philosophical system. The empirical is also placed at the highest pedestal in every system. What is most striking in this elaborate methodology of gaining knowledge is the fact that the Shabda Pramāṇa, or the Scriptural Evidence in our context is worthless in the absence of empirical evidence, or the Pratyaksha Pramāṇa. Isn’t this also the way of Science?
Srimad-Bhagavatam puts it in a different way, though in a similar vein:
श्रुति: प्रत्यक्षमैतिह्यमनुमानं चतुष्टयम् ।
प्रमाणेष्वनवस्थानाद् विकल्पात् स विरज्यते ॥ १७ ॥
śrutiḥ pratyakṣam aitihyam
anumānaṁ catuṣṭayam
pramāṇeṣv anavasthānād
vikalpāt sa virajyate
From the four types of evidence - Vedic knowledge, direct experience, traditional wisdom and logical induction - one can understand the temporary, insubstantial situation of the material world, by which one becomes detached from the duality of this world.
Further elaboration may be had in the Mahabhārata: ‘pratyaksham hyetyormūlam kritantai etihyorapi, pratyaksheṇāgamobhinnah kritanto vā na kinchan’, essentially meaning that in case of a conflict between direct evidence and inference/scriptural evidence, direct evidence shall prevail because it is at the root of both inferential evidence and scriptural evidence.
There cannot be a greater acceptance of the scientific method.
Srimadbhagwadgita, the last word in Sanatana Dharma has Shri Krishna going to the extent of saying that if you have experienced the Truth, even Vedas are of no use - I treat it as the ultimate expression in privileging the pratyaksha pramāṇa over even the Vedas, which many traditionalist claim to be the revealed word, a generally wrong translation of Apaurusheya:
yāvān artha udapāne sarvatah samplutodake/ tāvān sarveshu vedeshu brāhmaṇasya vijānatah
भावार्थ : सब ओर से परिपूर्ण जलाशय के प्राप्त हो जाने पर छोटे जलाशय में मनुष्य का जितना प्रयोजन रहता है, ब्रह्म को तत्व से जानने वाले ब्राह्मण का समस्त वेदों में उतना ही प्रयोजन रह जाता है॥46॥- Translation: A Brahman knowing Brāhmaṇa has only that much use for the Vedas as a man surrounded by great mass of water has for a small pond.
Adi Shankaracharya also said: ‘gnānam na purushatantram, kintu vastutantram’ - knowledge is not derived through word of command, but through objective reality.
Sutra 9 of the Patanjali Sutra, Samādhi Pāda makes it even more explicit: ‘shabdagnānupāti vastushūnyo vikalpah’ - acquisition of knowledge through scriptural evidence is delusional in the absence of objective corroboration.

Mehra ji, I have been living in the U.S. for over 40 years and seen gradual changes both in the composition of Indian community as well as the way we are treated here. I see no oppression! But the discrimination definitely exists. It shows in the earnings difference, believe it or not. The indian community as a whole had a high family income mainly because we also have the highest level of education. Nearly twice the level of college graduates compared to the American average. If you compare the income of comparably educated Indian family with same level white family there is a distinct and vast difference. The white family earns much more. In recent decades the less educated Indian immigrants have brought in Indians who do bot enjoy the advantage of high education that my generation had. They must deal with the harsher reality. What remains a strange puzzle is the recent agitation of alleged caste discrimination in America. The allegation amounts to the assertion that casteHindus have so much clout that even in America they practice caste politics. They don’t have that power.The accusation is clearly not directed at the American system but at Hindus. Some universities have set caste as equivalent of race, an indication of how poorly the academia in thus country is informed and what a poor job Indian academics have been doing knowing Hindu scriptures and teaching about them. Oppression of dark skinned christians by white skinned christians is not considered part of christianity but a social phenomenon. But castes are treated as part and parcel of Hinduism. The Hindu American Foundation is leading the effort to educate the officials and fight for an accurate presentation of Hindu traditions.
Awesome personality..
Podcast can be done without using abusive language.... Do values value... Common sense is not too common that who afford commonly..... Jai hind
Wow wow wow i cant say anything right now let me just digest this knowledge ❣️
Love to see ur all podcast,and command in Hindi language is gud...thank u for this

atheists could not explain but yes they could read and talk about it as other people. I think kushal is nastikk not atheist both are different
Great podcast
Do a podcast with founder of Upword,Ashish Dhar
this was so so amazing!
Atheism is Neo Abrahamicism, it's militant in nature and goes against the spirit of polytheistic idea of coexistence; also not believing in God and Goddess is an integral practice of certain sects of Hindus like Samkhya, but they call themselves Nastik and not Atheist as they are completely different terms and shouldn't be used for one another. 🙏🏻
Bhai samja dega koi?
@@prathmesh7282 he means that there is a difference between abrahmic religions and Indic faith systems. And atheism is also like abrahmic religion which is hostile towards Indic faith systems.
Abrahmic-[Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Communism]
Indic faith systems -[Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism]
@@lakshyabhardwaj9541 Oh now I get It and also got to know that communism were also part of abrahamicism
@@prathmesh7282 it behaves like them, that's why I added it.
@@lakshyabhardwaj9541 Ohh ok.
So many things were just ignored like a layman.
Rather watch Abhijit Chavda Sir's podcast to get a complete understanding.
1:12 This statement is a little difficult to digest, I am from Delhi University and here too our professors suggest digital libraries like JSTOR, We've read peer reviewed papers during our graduation, har cheez sirf Boston mein hi nahi batate bhaiya 😆
Best podcast 👍
What a riveting discussion, gentlemen. Thanks
As always Dostcast Conversations OP
please invite ajeet bharti from do politics
to refresh any app you have have to scroll from just up to down just like Vegas slot machines - so he is right about it - also the apps works in the same way - you refresh feeds in any apps in a hope of reward which can come on your feed any time - when we dont know but it can come up anytime just like the slot machine and it gives an unconscious stimulation of gambling
J sai sir ko vi laao sir.
The Charvaka podcast is outstanding.
Hopefully you invite Sham Sharma to the podcast
This is what i pay my internet bills for
Congratulations, good episode ✌️
Maza aagya 💯
Best podcast
a podcast with abhijeet chavda ji please if its possible
Brilliant❤
You are absolutely genius "inko to jail mai hona chahiye" 😂🤣🤣🤣😂
The visual quality of this podcast could have been better. I don't know what it is, out of focus or tshirt matching the background or color grading but it seems off.
I always felt like atheism was another religion whose primary belief is there is no god
I was 45 mins into the podcast when I realised you're doing the podcast in the kitchen 🤣🤣🤣
Kasana bhai u would have asked him about the MYSTICISM we gurjar do we have devnarayn maharaj mystic temples everywhere , chaaya bhrana and all u must have known? It's very easy to look in our practices and songs ??? Ask raw questions to this man .
Kudos to that guy who is going there to convert muslim into Christianity in islamic country.
