As a Konkani Saraswat Brahman whose ancestors fled from Goa because of the Portuguese persecution, I almost cried watching Sawani ji speak. The situation was very similar to what Kashmiri Hindus faced but here the colonizers were Christian zealots. I am a proud Hindu not because of my achievements or some false sense of superiority but because of the great sacrifices of my Hindu ancestors. They held on to their faith, their gods, and their Dharma even in such dire situations. I can only imagine the kind of courage and commitment that they carried in their hearts to be able to let go of everything but not their Dharma.
I’m a Goan Brahmin. My kuldevi is Vijayadurga in Keri. My ancestors fled Goa and went to Karnataka. Even our kuldevi was moved twice from her original location. The current location of the temple is on the hill top and it’s quite secluded! The story goes that the priests hid the idol and carried her on the mountain to prevent Portuguese from vandalizing the idol.

It was really insightful to listen you Sawani Tai,The Portuguese Atrocities On The Western Coast Especially Of Konkan And The Resistance And Counterattack From The Maraths And Hindu Kings/Queens Of Coastal Karnataka Should Given More Focus In Theatre Of The European Invasion..
Thank you Sawani Madam .. unfortunate part is that all the occupier who came from outside they did everything in their disposal to destroy sanatan culture . We should be happy that offlate there is hindu awakening and are realising the atrocities we have bore in the past . Islam have been most ruthless and tried everything to destroy our culture however other religion are not far behind in effort the detroy sanatan .
Unfortunately Indians really had a hard time from the Muslims and the Christian’s as their primary aim was to convert them. But the mystery is after all the conversions that have taken place we are still Hindus and going strong. Just imagine how much of physical violence and torture must have been undergone by each of them to stay as Hindus. Never forget our forefathers who sacrificed everything than changing their religion and we should never forget this!
Sorry your wrong they Portugese were Roman Catholics and not Christians. Though Catholics and Christians believe in Jesus , but not all their beliefs are the same.
I literally cried in my room.i could not control tears from eyes. Savaniji and vaad both deserve appreciation for bringing these facts of atrocities of Portuguese towards Hindus. Goa ! My pranams to the land and its water to instill love towards God and our rituals. I felt proud of our ancestors of Gomanthak land ❤❤❤❤.In our Telangana state almost every village has Shivaji Maharaj idol. We don't know the hidden facts about the actual History. Nobody had told the facts but respect continuing till today to Shivaji who is equallly treated as a Kul devata.. These are eye opener episodes and every Indian must watch. Thank you very much both.
In 2023 Hindus are doing Human Sacrifice for prosperity. In 2023 Hindus mis-treat Dalits even piss on them. In 2023 temple in MP put up board saying Dalits Harijan not allowed to enter. Hindu Nepal did not join Bharat. Bhutan expelled Hindus in 1980s. What were Hindus doing in 1515
Thank you very much Arihant जी for bringing out the real truth about Goa, which I am sure more than 90% of Bharatiya don't know, leave alone the Indians. The whole story should come out in wide public arena!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Yes I completely agree with you it should be brought in public how the Brahmins tortured shudras & untouchables since ages what was the reasons why buddha left sanathan why ambedkarji left sanathan???
@@FrancisFernandes-mv3xufirst of all its bharat and bharat is not your missionaries convention ground... I see you every where typing se message of torture of bhramin over Shudra blah blah... you sound so much fake trying to desperately prove your fake propaganda...
I was in Goa from 11.11.23 to 13.11.23. This time I travelled around Madgaon remote villages and everywhere it’s churches nothing else even after there is only 25% of Christians. It’s really surprising to see very less temples with 60% Hindu population.
*There are many huge temples which are located in the interior places around Mardol and Madkai.* Like Mangeshi, Mahalasa, Navadurga, Shanta Durga, Mahalaxmi.....
Very true. I visited first in 2017, was too young to understand the history and was impressed by the churches and Portuguese culture. Recently read the Goa Inquisition by AK Priolkar and had the opportunity of visiting Goa again in 2022, completely changed my outlook of looking at Goa. Temples and Sanatan are very deeply rooted in everyday life. Truly impressed.
Sawani ji, thanks a lot for such a nice description of Goan history. Really shakened by the atrocities of Portuguese. We only know about Britishers atrocities most of the time.
I couldn’t hold back my tears after listening to the plight of innocent Hindus who were humiliated, murdered, converted and driven out of their lands. After reading the Goa inquisition book by AK Priolkar Goa isn’t the same for me anymore. So many Hindu killings and genocides and still no justice. What’s appalling is that some people try to justify that colonisation was a good thing! I mean it’s calling Osama a freedom fighter!
The more appalling thing is that most of the Hindus who visit Goa for recreational purpose, go to visit old churches as ancient architectures. They don't know the history behind those churches. And even guides too either don't know or don't reveal the history. When I visited Goa, I refused,to the ashtonishment of our guide, to join the swarms of people entering the churches. I told him the history in brief and to my surprise by his response and jestures, I could realise that he knew it.
@@pankaj29904 it’s a shame that the state govt and the ministry of culture doesn’t feel the need to change the distorted history in books museums, restoration of forts, correct history by tour guide. One way to control the distortion of history by tour guides is by creating these QR codes which can be scanned by the tourists to listen to the correct history of the place.

I am so happy that my direct ancestors funded the Peshwa's (specifically Shrimant Chimajiappa - brother of Peshwa Bajirao and his son Nanasaheb) who kicked the Portuguese out of Vasai and north Mumbai in 1730's and later. The Portguese and their bigoted practices were even detested by the French English and other European traders at that time.
I just came back from Goa. I stayed in Benaulim (Banavali). I had absolutely no idea that that is supposed to be the place where Parashuram hit the arrow. As a Bramhan, I am ashamed for not knowing. Thank you for spreading awareness.
Everyone should read the following: -Denaming of Goa by Bernardo Elvino DeSousa -Castes of Mind: Colonialism and making of modern India by Dirk -will sweetman's publication on 'The Dravidian Idea in Missionary Accounts of South Indian Religion' -and to understand how missionaries were involved in slave trading of so called lower caste you can read publication from portugese scholar 'Manumission of Slaves in Goa During 1682 to 1760 as Found in Codex 860' by Teotonio R. Desouza. Reminder india wasn't the only land where this has happened. Every non-white and non-christian ruler land which was colonized or inquisitioned faced the same. Native american tribe, Native Canadian tribes, central and south africa, aboriginals of australia, latin america. It wasn't until the treaty of yandabo (1826) that the christian missionaries didn't start the conversion in what they termed 'North-East India'. Read about heraka movement, seng khasi movement etc. Its only because of two Abhramanical faiths that this land has endured so much.
Goa is different because of its history. Now I understand why there's natural friendship and affection between Goans and Maharashtrians. Wonderful podcast. I loved it and listened to it several times.
Thank you Sawani ji and vaad for enlightening us on this hidden portion of Goan history. Very moving narration; it brought tears in my eyes knowing about the horrific treatment meted out to our brotheren in Gomantak. Good quality documentory film on Goa Files should be made and shown to our future generations. Jai Hind
As a young child i always wondered how a very harmonious community with a distinct vedic culture, speaking Konkani language came to be amidst the heartlands of Kerala that too in a town like Kayamkulam .It was only when i grew up that i learnt the of the unfathomable struggles they had gone through and how they sought safety along with their deities to the Odanad Kingdom where the King gave them an existing Temple of his own to accommodate the deities including the existing Sri Vittoba Temple administered by the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins. Pranam to all the Goan fraternity who had to endure such pain. The need of the hour at the very least is a Truth and Reconciliation initiative to ensure that wounds are eased ( if not healed ) and the stories included and taught in the National Academic History syllabus . For even if one forgives, it must not be forgotten. 🙏
👍👍👍 being a Maharatrian i was not knowing these fact. though, i had served in Goa in a defence, (and seen all these temples )very deep study....one more thing i must admit that, mam ur face is very close to Actress Rakhi..🙏🚩
On a separate note, I had a colleague, she is Goan Christian, her mother-in-law when she was a child (around 5-6 years old) was sent to Mozambique by the Portuguese. She was made to do hard labor in her childhood. This lady came back to Goa when she was 15 years old. She doesn’t know anything about her family, her relatives or her village.
Being a Mangalorean, my hearts mealts to Konkanis. Whatever they suffered it could have happened to us too but with gods grace RANI ABBADEVI did not let it happen. Jai Rani Abbakka ❤🤍
The discussion on Goa was excellent but should also have discussed the same situation on Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. They have also suffered the same
Portuguese Catholic Inquisitadors sent more than 45000 female Rajput prisoners from Dadra and Nagar Havelli to Goa for burning them on the stake.......
Thank you ma'am for showing one side of what Portuguese did to Goa, I'm Christian but I maybe showing partiality, but can you also tell about Goa before the Portuguese arrived and what happened during that time? And why hindus of Goa invited Portuguese to first trade with Goa? A kind of state was getting formed there under Adil Shah, if that had remained, Goa would have been a sort of Mid-West Pakistan today. If you forgot then speak to your who ever elder is alive today. I know that many of the Portuguese were ruthless that Is why I still worship some of our ancestral gods even today.
Portuguese rule was horrible. But it’s become fashionable nowadays to talk as if before the oppressors everyone was hugging each other and there was never any discrimination. And now after oppressors have been kicked out it’s all beautiful everywhere 😊
@@BeautifulGoa-z5i what I wrote was why Hindus called the Portuguese to Goa, it's written in the history. They came there on their own but were later invited by hindus, why?

Best historic lesson on Goa, respect to those who kept the Sanathana Dharma alive in cruel times. Image of Goa needs to change in people in years to come
Being a Goan, born and brought up in Goa we are totally unaware about the history of our land. Why is that all of this history is missing from our school history books. Thank you for all this information. And proud of our ancestors Our temple of Devi Shanta Durga was shifted from Candolim to Nanoda on the way to dodamarg. Devi of the kanolkar family.
A powerful conversation that was an eye opener. Cried listening to the ordeal that Goan Hindus had to go thru to keep their religion and customs alive.
Having read history of Goa in Marathi, 'Gomantakacha Itihas', I always admired the resolve of Goa's Hindus of the dark era to preserve their religion and religious traditions. Now, after listening to Sawni ji, I understand many more things and also why Goa's present era Hindus and Christians generally enjoy coordial relations with each other. Thanks for a very knowledgeable podcast.
Listening to this i can clearly understand why idols of deity were destroyed.... And how these idols were so important in keeping their belief intact, when they were shifting these idols its was as if they're carrying their beliefs, their culture their roots with them... This is what helped them to keep their faith intact even after facing so many atrocities.... It gives me an idea of why idols are so important in Hinduism
Excellent podcast Always thought of Goa as a western concept, never connected it to Hinduism in any way. We could only learn now in the age of internet and super connectivity that Goa had such bloody history and is as Hindu and Indian as the rest of us
This is a rather strange assumption that you thought of Goa as a "Western concept" and that you are being able to ascribe Sanatana Dharma to it only after the advent of social media. It is the most nonsensical admission that I have heard in recent times. Either your history teachers must have been horrendously ignorant or the choice of books that you must have been reading must have been really poor. How can Goa which is a part of India have a "Western concept"? And your admission that you needed social media to tell you otherwise makes it all the more laughable.
@@Col.J.N.W.SinghKhandala nothing to scorn about and no need to sound so condescending. It’s not as if I couldn’t stop thinking about Goa for a moment. But always knew of it as a fun destination with lots of foreigners. The other side was not known to most or maybe we didn’t think much about it. You might have which I appreciate. But still, there was not really any need for such a long schooling
@@kiranbahety8438goa was actually a Buddhist state for almost 2000yrs it was the frist religion which came to goa an the native goan accepted it. since in the beginning natives never had any religion. The next religion to enter goa was jainism in was in practice for almost a 1000yrs. Then in 52AD Christianity came to goa before it reached Europe or America although it had very few followers at that time. Then in around 1198 there was a genocide in goa whereby most of the Buddhist an jains were either killed or forced to abandon their faith an some took shelter in the neighboring kingdoms, Christianity was saved from this genocide because they never had any places of worship because the concept of church was not there at that time. An that's how present day Hinduism came to goa. Most of the temples which are before 13th century are actually either Buddhist or jains places of worship which were converted into temples. An at that time of history there were no muguls, Portuguese or British in India or goa.
@@Myworldisgoa Hello in 54 AD Christianity came to Tamil Nadu through Thomas the Apostle 🙏 Don't spread false history, to hide your secrets. You are descendent of Portuguese Soldier and your comments are part of Portuguese Conspiracy.
We get lot of history of tyranny and cruelty forced on Konkani in Goa during Portuguese’s reign. Smt Shifali Vaidya has written books on the persecution suffered by Konkani.
Why do you not join the movement for restitution of former Konkani and Kannada names of places in Goa which have been distorted by the erstwhile Portuguese colonial administrators. Original geographical names sound much better, whereas the Portuguese variants sound overtly vulgar.......

@@Myworldisgoa On what basis you r saying that the goans didn't have any religion and why are you differentiating goa from bharat... cause the temples all around bharat including goa are proof that the only culture that was practiced is sanatan dharma...

Yes. The syrian christians came during the islamic invasion in the middleeast just like the jews. Ofcourse the armenians also came as refugees. Some came as traders but remained here becos of the brutality by pisslams in their countries .
@@FrancisFernandes-mv3xu BTW, the temples are built by the rich hindus mostly from business , kshatriya families . Get ur facts right . For whoch u must go to school Not mad rasa
I had read amarathi novel in which all this information has come. One Portuguese with a gun riding on a horse having ahindu attendant running alongwith the horse would go village to village and tame the people to convert and destruct the temples.people ran away with their family deities.i do not remember the name of this novel now .pl if anyone has read it give the name so that others can read it. Very nice book .
Yes, they have caste system like Hindus. They have maintained the original caste. The High class Catholics call themselves BAMON Brahmin, they are Landlords, they speak either Portuguese or English at home, they do not marry with lower class Catholics who are called as SUDHIR SUDHRA.
If I may add , Sati was not dominant any time in India. Take Kunti of Mahabharata fame. If Sati was prevalent , even she should have been pushed to Sati Sati was an option which allowed the wife to enter Sati ONLY AND ONLY if her family responsibilities were over , and then too she had to go to the guru who would say yes or no. ( A very important saint [Shri Vasaraja teertha] in our Kannada tradition was born only when the guru said NO to the wife and the guru was powerful enough to bring the dead husband back to life). Sati would be brought into a forceful practice only to prevent the widows from being sold to prostitution. Hence , evidences of Sati are more dominant in North India in comparison to South India due to rampant attacks there
Agree but madri committed sati didn't she?but I agree it was the choice of the woman and her family and not a compulsion... Another example is Mata Ahilyabai holkar.. She wanted to commit sati but her father in law Malharrao holkar stopped her. Later we all know what pious deeds she did and ruled Indore successfully for several years
Sati pratha never prevailed in India before the cruel invaders who captured all kanya Gurukuls and village ladies were abducted forcibly and gang raped as Maleganimat or spoils of war. Sold these ladies in Meena Bazaars for prostitution work. All red light areas were created by Mughals and Christians. All badwords had come from Abrahamic religions. There is no respect for women and are considered as soul less property or material objects that can be sold in market. This practices still goes on secretly in Democracy and openly in Muslim countries. Afganistan videos are available to see live video of selling girls in Burkhas in the market.
I really like the personality of Sawani. Goa has a wide history and beautiful things to see, more than what we have heard about it. I like the video when I saw the thumbnail as Sawani is there.😍
Sonia is a an Italian and Christian and she and her son and daughter in full control of Congress party and they are billionares. They are desperately trying to come back to power. Congress is a psuedo secular Muslim Christians party.

Excellent Podcast...what I have learnt from this and other podcasts is that atrocities on the simple people are most common by Spanish, Portuguese, Mogul, British. The Hindus have never done anything like this ever but have always been at the receving end.
People in India were busy fighting each other and expanding their territory.... please don't be in misconception....plus even today u must be knowing... India is known for rich natural resources..... obviously people would want to get the best....and even today there is no UNITY in India.... imagine how it would have been centuries ago........ after independence also instead of being super power....they r fighting with each other on the basis of so called religion.
@@zoyaabraham4192I agree people had no unity, even during british rule, Britishers used Indian's to fight among indians. Something is wrong with them.

दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण यह है कि यह पूरे देश में चल रहा है। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं है कि इस सरकार ने इसे रोकने के लिए बहुत कुछ किया है। हालांकि हम सभी को एक छोटा समूह बनाकर और उन्हें एहसास दिलाकर अपने स्तर पर प्रयास करना होगा।

@@SalmaSalma-bj5yqPortuguese persecuted Muslims as well because they hated Adil shahi
@@ATMmm62 but the irony is the portuguese was invited by the hindu king to protect hindus from Muslims so are you saying hindus are responsible for the mess...
@@FrancisFernandes-mv3xu but they (Portuguese ) misused that deal.
@@ATMmm62 so in other words was adil shah better and if it was then why did hindu king took help of portuguese to protect hindus from adilshah
Coz you said to Muslim in your own words 'portuguese persecuted Muslims as well' so what about adilshah(Muslim emperor) persecuting hindus? Due to which hindu king took help from portuguese. .. let's see how you can defend that...
Started listening accidentally and did not stopped till it finished... aam janta kitane maje se jee rahi he but humara freedom kitane logon ke struggle and sufferings pe khada he ye aaj samaz ata he... Immediately subscribed bhai 👍 we should not forget our history, if we wish not to experience it again.
It was really insightful to listen you Sawani Tai,The Portuguese Atrocities On The Western Coast Especially Of Konkan And The Resistance And Counterattack From The Maraths And Hindu Kings/Queens Of Coastal Karnataka Should Given More Focus In Theatre Of The European Invasion..
Everywhere the word hindu is viral shows they are completely ignoring buddhist who were tortured by bhramins..
Thank you Sawani Madam .. unfortunate part is that all the occupier who came from outside they did everything in their disposal to destroy sanatan culture . We should be happy that offlate there is hindu awakening and are realising the atrocities we have bore in the past .
Islam have been most ruthless and tried everything to destroy our culture however other religion are not far behind in effort the detroy sanatan .
Unfortunately Indians really had a hard time from the Muslims and the Christian’s as their primary aim was to convert them. But the mystery is after all the conversions that have taken place we are still Hindus and going strong. Just imagine how much of physical violence and torture must have been undergone by each of them to stay as Hindus. Never forget our forefathers who sacrificed everything than changing their religion and we should never forget this!
Now we must reclaim India as Hindu rashtra. By Hindu rashtra we means that a country for Hindus, Zains, Sikhs and Buddhist.
I wish I could give your comment a thousand likes.
Sorry your wrong they Portugese were Roman Catholics and not Christians. Though Catholics and Christians believe in Jesus , but not all their beliefs are the same.
@@saviocoutinho8730 can you answer who Christians & who Roman Catholics are?
True Bro 😢😢😢
I literally cried in my room.i could not control tears from eyes. Savaniji and vaad both deserve appreciation for bringing these facts of atrocities of Portuguese towards Hindus. Goa ! My pranams to the land and its water to instill love towards God and our rituals. I felt proud of our ancestors of Gomanthak land ❤❤❤❤.In our Telangana state almost every village has Shivaji Maharaj idol. We don't know the hidden facts about the actual History. Nobody had told the facts but respect continuing till today to Shivaji who is equallly treated as a Kul devata.. These are eye opener episodes and every Indian must watch. Thank you very much both.

I was in Goa from 11.11.23 to 13.11.23. This time I travelled around Madgaon remote villages and everywhere it’s churches nothing else even after there is only 25% of Christians. It’s really surprising to see very less temples with 60% Hindu population.
*There are many huge temples which are located in the interior places around Mardol and Madkai.* Like Mangeshi, Mahalasa, Navadurga, Shanta Durga, Mahalaxmi.....
@@bvshenoy7259 yes I know but if you see the ratio in terms of population than it’s really bad situation.
Very true. I visited first in 2017, was too young to understand the history and was impressed by the churches and Portuguese culture. Recently read the Goa Inquisition by AK Priolkar and had the opportunity of visiting Goa again in 2022, completely changed my outlook of looking at Goa. Temples and Sanatan are very deeply rooted in everyday life. Truly impressed.
@@doppelganger1947 1st time visit i was also fascinated with churches but this time I knew the truth so it’s kind of sad feeling you know.
Madgao town is in salcete taluka 1 out of 4 talukas that Portuguese had control on that's y more churches are here in madgaon
Sawani ji, thanks a lot for such a nice description of Goan history. Really shakened by the atrocities of Portuguese. We only know about Britishers atrocities most of the time.
The best ever of Vaad telecast … learnt so much about Goa in one go🙏💕
Also no matter what people say about Vijay Mallaya, he was the one who rebuilt the current Mhalsanarayani Temple in its Divya form.
Please get the facts right. That's not true.
Thanks for a great episode with Sawani ji. She is amazing at Goan history. So much of our own history is kept away from us.
जय श्री राम 💐💐🙏
Its shameful that Hindus feel cool about Goa now as tourist spot without knowing the horrific past of conversions😢😢 Jago Hindus... thanks maam
jaag kar kide kartalo hindu?
There is nothing shameful about it. Theta is our history
I think people should be more worried of their future generations then past, cause our Yuva peedhi is completely spoilt
False propaganda
jago 8 ghante sone ke baad har hindu jaagta hi hai .tum kiss gufa mein mar gaye teh joh abhi jaagne ki khayal aaya.
I couldn’t hold back my tears after listening to the plight of innocent Hindus who were humiliated, murdered, converted and driven out of their lands. After reading the Goa inquisition book by AK Priolkar Goa isn’t the same for me anymore. So many Hindu killings and genocides and still no justice. What’s appalling is that some people try to justify that colonisation was a good thing! I mean it’s calling Osama a freedom fighter!
The more appalling thing is that most of the Hindus who visit Goa for recreational purpose, go to visit old churches as ancient architectures. They don't know the history behind those churches. And even guides too either don't know or don't reveal the history. When I visited Goa, I refused,to the ashtonishment of our guide, to join the swarms of people entering the churches. I told him the history in brief and to my surprise by his response and jestures, I could realise that he knew it.
@@pankaj29904 it’s a shame that the state govt and the ministry of culture doesn’t feel the need to change the distorted history in books museums, restoration of forts, correct history by tour guide. One way to control the distortion of history by tour guides is by creating these QR codes which can be scanned by the tourists to listen to the correct history of the place.
@@Pearls103 for your information this sawani Shetye is a liar an also not a goan, she belongs to rss an they are the once who are promoting her. Her ancestors migrated to goa during Portuguese rule in such of employment. Now the question here is if the Portuguese were so cruel why her ancestors migrated to goa? I had challenge her for a public debate at Azad maiden in panjim last year but she has not accepted my challenge, I am still ready for that challenge. One more think all her interviews an other press meets are held outside goa but never in goa. She is the one who only makes videos in goa but never come before press or public to explain the contents an the purpose of making such video.

I am so happy that my direct ancestors funded the Peshwa's (specifically Shrimant Chimajiappa - brother of Peshwa Bajirao and his son Nanasaheb) who kicked the Portuguese out of Vasai and north Mumbai in 1730's and later. The Portguese and their bigoted practices were even detested by the French English and other European traders at that time.
I just came back from Goa. I stayed in Benaulim (Banavali). I had absolutely no idea that that is supposed to be the place where Parashuram hit the arrow. As a Bramhan, I am ashamed for not knowing. Thank you for spreading awareness.

Everyone should read the following:
-Denaming of Goa by Bernardo Elvino DeSousa
-Castes of Mind: Colonialism and making of modern India by Dirk
-will sweetman's publication on 'The Dravidian Idea in Missionary Accounts of South Indian Religion'
-and to understand how missionaries were involved in slave trading of so called lower caste you can read publication from portugese scholar 'Manumission of Slaves in Goa During 1682 to 1760 as Found in Codex 860' by Teotonio R. Desouza.
Reminder india wasn't the only land where this has happened. Every non-white and non-christian ruler land which was colonized or inquisitioned faced the same. Native american tribe, Native Canadian tribes, central and south africa, aboriginals of australia, latin america.
It wasn't until the treaty of yandabo (1826) that the christian missionaries didn't start the conversion in what they termed 'North-East India'. Read about heraka movement, seng khasi movement etc.
Its only because of two Abhramanical faiths that this land has endured so much.

Goa is different because of its history. Now I understand why there's natural friendship and affection between Goans and Maharashtrians.
Wonderful podcast. I loved it and listened to it several times.
Thank you Sawani ji and vaad for enlightening us on this hidden portion of Goan history. Very moving narration; it brought tears in my eyes knowing about the horrific treatment meted out to our brotheren in Gomantak. Good quality documentory film on Goa Files should be made and shown to our future generations. Jai Hind
It would be censored in just first 10 minutes. Most of goans nowadays also don't have any idea how cruel that time was for their own ancestors.
Totally manipulated...

Extremely enlightening Podcast .Thank you to Sawani ji and Team Vaad
As a young child i always wondered how a very harmonious community with a distinct vedic culture, speaking Konkani language came to be amidst the heartlands of Kerala that too in a town like Kayamkulam .It was only when i grew up that i learnt the of the unfathomable struggles they had gone through and how they sought safety along with their deities to the Odanad Kingdom where the King gave them an existing Temple of his own to accommodate the deities including the existing Sri Vittoba Temple administered by the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins.
Pranam to all the Goan fraternity who had to endure such pain. The need of the hour at the very least is a Truth and Reconciliation initiative to ensure that wounds are eased ( if not healed ) and the stories included and taught in the National Academic History syllabus . For even if one forgives, it must not be forgotten. 🙏
👍👍👍 being a Maharatrian i was not knowing these fact. though, i had served in Goa in a defence, (and seen all these temples )very deep study....one more thing i must admit that, mam ur face is very close to Actress Rakhi..🙏🚩
Water in my eyes though out the video. Long live our ancestors our culture. 🌼
Sawani... amazing 👏 I'm so glad n proud, u are doing this great job of sharing true history 👏
On a separate note, I had a colleague, she is Goan Christian, her mother-in-law when she was a child (around 5-6 years old) was sent to Mozambique by the Portuguese. She was made to do hard labor in her childhood. This lady came back to Goa when she was 15 years old. She doesn’t know anything about her family, her relatives or her village.
How very sad indeed
being a konkani this hits deep into my heart.
Being a Mangalorean, my hearts mealts to Konkanis. Whatever they suffered it could have happened to us too but with gods grace RANI ABBADEVI did not let it happen.

Thanks for sharing this with the world…not many are aware of this…❤ from a person with Goan ancestry…
The discussion on Goa was excellent but should also have discussed the same situation on Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. They have also suffered the same
Portuguese Catholic Inquisitadors sent more than 45000 female Rajput prisoners from Dadra and Nagar Havelli to Goa for burning them on the stake.......
Have visited the Goa's Mahalaxmi Mandir in Colva few days back. Thank you for highlighting, I wasn't litterly aware of this.
Thank you ma'am for showing one side of what Portuguese did to Goa, I'm Christian but I maybe showing partiality, but can you also tell about Goa before the Portuguese arrived and what happened during that time? And why hindus of Goa invited Portuguese to first trade with Goa? A kind of state was getting formed there under Adil Shah, if that had remained, Goa would have been a sort of Mid-West Pakistan today. If you forgot then speak to your who ever elder is alive today. I know that many of the Portuguese were ruthless that Is why I still worship some of our ancestral gods even today.
Portuguese rule was horrible. But it’s become fashionable nowadays to talk as if before the oppressors everyone was hugging each other and there was never any discrimination.
And now after oppressors have been kicked out it’s all beautiful everywhere 😊
@@BeautifulGoa-z5i what I wrote was why Hindus called the Portuguese to Goa, it's written in the history. They came there on their own but were later invited by hindus, why?

Best historic lesson on Goa, respect to those who kept the Sanathana Dharma alive in cruel times. Image of Goa needs to change in people in years to come
Being a Goan, born and brought up in Goa we are totally unaware about the history of our land. Why is that all of this history is missing from our school history books.
Thank you for all this information.
And proud of our ancestors
Our temple of Devi Shanta Durga was shifted from Candolim to Nanoda on the way to dodamarg. Devi of the kanolkar family.
I have been there when I visited Dodamarg🙏
A powerful conversation that was an eye opener. Cried listening to the ordeal that Goan Hindus had to go thru to keep their religion and customs alive.
Need more informative videos from Sawani Madam. 😍😍 loved this video
Having read history of Goa in Marathi, 'Gomantakacha Itihas', I always admired the resolve of Goa's Hindus of the dark era to preserve their religion and religious traditions. Now, after listening to Sawni ji, I understand many more things and also why Goa's present era Hindus and Christians generally enjoy coordial relations with each other. Thanks for a very knowledgeable podcast.
I couldn't agree more. The image of Goa atleast among Indian has to change.
Important information related to श्री संस्थान गौडपदाचार्य मठ, कवळे also must have been discussed. It was the धर्म पीठ for the कुलदेवस्थान in goa.
We need to rewrite our history textbooks I am really amazed that this is not taught in schools
Great podcast...people should understand why Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is great...he understood that these people are a nuisance..Jai Shivrai
Thanks Sawani u change my way of thinking about gova. I wish to spend time with my family to understand their cultures
Listening to this i can clearly understand why idols of deity were destroyed.... And how these idols were so important in keeping their belief intact, when they were shifting these idols its was as if they're carrying their beliefs, their culture their roots with them... This is what helped them to keep their faith intact even after facing so many atrocities.... It gives me an idea of why idols are so important in Hinduism
You are so resourceful
It s so interesting. Feels like listening again and again
Excellent podcast
Always thought of Goa as a western concept, never connected it to Hinduism in any way. We could only learn now in the age of internet and super connectivity that Goa had such bloody history and is as Hindu and Indian as the rest of us
Thanks to our erstwhile govts and Abrahamic education ministers, hindu history has been wiped out from school education.😮
This is a rather strange assumption that you thought of Goa as a "Western concept" and that you are being able to ascribe Sanatana Dharma to it only after the advent of social media. It is the most nonsensical admission that I have heard in recent times.
Either your history teachers must have been horrendously ignorant or the choice of books that you must have been reading must have been really poor.
How can Goa which is a part of India have a "Western concept"? And your admission that you needed social media to tell you otherwise makes it all the more laughable.
@@Col.J.N.W.SinghKhandala nothing to scorn about and no need to sound so condescending. It’s not as if I couldn’t stop thinking about Goa for a moment. But always knew of it as a fun destination with lots of foreigners. The other side was not known to most or maybe we didn’t think much about it. You might have which I appreciate. But still, there was not really any need for such a long schooling
@@kiranbahety8438goa was actually a Buddhist state for almost 2000yrs it was the frist religion which came to goa an the native goan accepted it. since in the beginning natives never had any religion. The next religion to enter goa was jainism in was in practice for almost a 1000yrs. Then in 52AD Christianity came to goa before it reached Europe or America although it had very few followers at that time. Then in around 1198 there was a genocide in goa whereby most of the Buddhist an jains were either killed or forced to abandon their faith an some took shelter in the neighboring kingdoms, Christianity was saved from this genocide because they never had any places of worship because the concept of church was not there at that time. An that's how present day Hinduism came to goa. Most of the temples which are before 13th century are actually either Buddhist or jains places of worship which were converted into temples. An at that time of history there were no muguls, Portuguese or British in India or goa.

Atrocities were also done on newly converted Catholics if they still followed initial Hindu customs, so such Catholics migrated outside Goa.

Yes, they have caste system like Hindus. They have maintained the original caste. The High class Catholics call themselves BAMON Brahmin, they are Landlords, they speak either Portuguese or English at home, they do not marry with lower class Catholics who are called as SUDHIR SUDHRA.
Every converted after claims Brahims😂😂😂
Zantye cashew
There is one category among them called 'Brahmin Catholic'.
Nice to see sawani Tai again ❤
Finally a person who said it about brahma mandir
Very Good Sister Sawani . Rightly elaborated
If I may add , Sati was not dominant any time in India.
Take Kunti of Mahabharata fame.
If Sati was prevalent , even she should have been pushed to Sati
Sati was an option which allowed the wife to enter Sati ONLY AND ONLY if her family responsibilities were over , and then too she had to go to the guru who would say yes or no.
( A very important saint [Shri Vasaraja teertha] in our Kannada tradition was born only when the guru said NO to the wife and the guru was powerful enough to bring the dead husband back to life).
Sati would be brought into a forceful practice only to prevent the widows from being sold to prostitution.
Hence , evidences of Sati are more dominant in North India in comparison to South India due to rampant attacks there
Agree but madri committed sati didn't she?but I agree it was the choice of the woman and her family and not a compulsion... Another example is Mata Ahilyabai holkar.. She wanted to commit sati but her father in law Malharrao holkar stopped her. Later we all know what pious deeds she did and ruled Indore successfully for several years
Sati pratha never prevailed in India before the cruel invaders who captured all kanya Gurukuls and village ladies were abducted forcibly and gang raped as Maleganimat or spoils of war. Sold these ladies in Meena Bazaars for prostitution work. All red light areas were created by Mughals and Christians. All badwords had come from Abrahamic religions. There is no respect for women and are considered as soul less property or material objects that can be sold in market. This practices still goes on secretly in Democracy and openly in Muslim countries. Afganistan videos are available to see live video of selling girls in Burkhas in the market.
I really like the personality of Sawani.
Goa has a wide history and beautiful things to see, more than what we have heard about it.
I like the video when I saw the thumbnail as Sawani is there.😍
The moral of the story is not to allow others to enter our country.Sonia Gandhi is another example.mother Teresa etc.
Nairs are maximum converts to abrahamism and communism.
Imagine if Europe Africa America Australia embraces the same rules millions of sanathanis will be out that's dangerous..
Sonia is a an Italian and Christian and she and her son and daughter in full control of Congress party and they are billionares. They are desperately trying to come back to power. Congress is a psuedo secular Muslim Christians party.
Another meaningful podcast from Vaad. Keep it up

Excellent Podcast...what I have learnt from this and other podcasts is that atrocities on the simple people are most common by Spanish, Portuguese, Mogul, British. The Hindus have never done anything like this ever but have always been at the receving end.
People in India were busy fighting each other and expanding their territory.... please don't be in misconception....plus even today u must be knowing... India is known for rich natural resources..... obviously people would want to get the best....and even today there is no UNITY in India.... imagine how it would have been centuries ago........ after independence also instead of being super power....they r fighting with each other on the basis of so called religion.
