The man who conquers others is strong,
the man who conquers himself is mighty.
then I guess Alexander was strong and mighty
Definitely but others like some can't agree his mighty abilities instead they condemn ones mighty deeds (by people whom did nothing)
Thats why Alexander was the greatest he was strong and mighty
Ironically, this is something similar Alexander had said.
@Saswat Dev He was mighty because he conquered first his passions and obsessions' . Read the dialoge between Alexander the Great and philosopher Diogenis ( a philosopher who had similar life like yogis) and the you will understand that he had awareness of his life!!!!!!!! He conquered the whole world very very young and this man had an already intergrated an PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This helps me to process my mom's death in a more sense full way. To just accept that death is not a thing to be sad or be sorry about. Death is inevitable. What is important is to live a fulfilling life. I think my mom did so. At least I would want to think so. Thank you.
Love for you and your mom wherever she is.. may God bless every mom in this world
Very sensible comment Sir.
Treat it like a new birth. Read esoterica and widen your soul. You live in society of pain, find God then get back to the society
Your mom is still alive in you, she is not dead, you are a part of her because she made you.
@@Rrahulkumarr thank you for those line. Yes my mom is alive through me.
“Whatever possession we gain by our sword cannot be sure or lasting, but the love gained by kindness and moderation is certain and durable.”
-Alexander😢😢
then why conquer by sword? :D
Do you not think that Alexander might have took more credit than what he did?
To those who think Alexander the great was really brilliant, because he was taught by Aristotle. Arisrotle was taught by Plato. Plato believed the brain was the center of thought, while Aristotle thought the brain was a cooling chamber.
Nah that's Alexander word it's you
He is immortal.
The king that fought alongside his soldiers
Alexander gained immortality in the sense that we all remember his name
Alexander was made a Son of a Egyptian God in his Lifetime.
It’s not immortality tho. Sure, his name stays for centuries, but later he will be forgotten. If not in another few centuries, then at the end of humanity for sure.
@@thequant2817 thanks, captain pedantry.
Don't you have a party to go sour?

"Alexander conquered for no reason". The fact that Persia tried to conquer Hellas so many times is just a coincidence.
Ignore that indian biased boomer
@@bitik9847 Yet some idiots actually take these videos seriously.
"so many times" Twice. AFTER Athens staged the Ionian revolt.
@@MrSurvivalgecoLP Twice full invasions and 50 years of wars. But hey...whatever.And the "revolt"...do you mean the try to free themselves from the prevuious ocupation by the persians in that fifty years wars? Cos you know that west part of Anatolia was greek at that time right?
Alexander just took revenge what the persians did to his ancestors for years .
I don't understand why they call Alexander the great in our text books, When he had to retreat from it his successor Selecus was badly defeated by Chandragupta and Chanakya.
Not just greeks but Sycthians, Iranians, Sakas, Hunas all were defeated but our textbooks only show us Mughals and British.
Well...it's not surprising at all. What to expect from british education system?
Indians are finally waking up. Our children will have a brighter future.
Basically you didnt studied enough , we studied about them in our history classes
These issues or problems which Indians are facing are not only in India but all over the world. They hide all the real truth about us, all the glories about us, portrayed us as weak, bad and etc, etc by changing or distorting the real history. I'm a Malaysian Indian & here too they have changed the whole history. We can't find the real history in any of our history text books and school text books either here in Malaysia. In Malaysia, ancient Indian have a great influence in terms of language, culture, tradition, dance, food, architecture, governance system and etc, etc... But they have destroyed, hide and changed many things. Today's history books are full of lies and yes it's a sad reality.
However in this modern age with modern technology they can't hide all the truth any longer and I feel very thankful for that. Slowy people all over the world will realize the real history and the real truth about India and Indians who been living in all parts of the world 🙏
@@saipraba8775 Sadhghuru also gives faulse information and i don't understand what is his purpose behind this cause HE know s the truth very well..... Unless if he follows also a dark agenda. Cause it is not as he says.... The British and the Dark alliance they hate Alexander cause they run after them till India. But they don't say it ... Cause there were some of their tribes there. So Dark;s forces history as they gave it to the world....they presented him as a guy that he conquere the worlds...which is not true.... Just what they wanted us to believe. Search deeper in ur REAL history of ur lands and u will find out much more things.
"I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." - Alexander The Great
Nice story and lesson, but in reality Alexander perhaps wasn't at all drown toward the idea of immortality judging by his quote.
That is what demons say before they are defeated by god
@Anonymous A every single one
no it is the truth the reason to come to bharat was that he heard the wisdom of RiSHiS saints he came in that search
@@geetadaswani1570 If he was on expedition for searching immortality - he would behave differently. The true is - he was on war campaign in India - his dream was to conquer the world. He meet Dandamis occasionally, this doesn't makes sense to be his goal - searching of immortality.
Having subdued Syria, Egypt, and Persia, he next marched to invade India. For Alexander, the invasion of India was a natural consequence of his subjugation of the Achaemenid Empire, as the areas of the Indus valley had long been under Achaemenid control, since the Achaemenid conquest of the Indus Valley circa 515 BC. *Alexander was only taking possession of territories which he had obtained from the Achaemenids, and now considered rightfully his own.*
Making good quotes doesn't make someone smarter...untill the quote is his own.
And you never know that about Alexander.!
Alexander the great did reach immortality, thousands of years have gone by and the world still knows his name.

Taught by Aristotle, made a similar visit to Diogenes, traveled to Siwa... he was clearly a man in search of something beyond merely conquering.
exactly
he's salty he was conquered
@@ivankontra3446 true :/
Hmm dont really remember being conquered. After his experience with Puru (Porus) i guess Alexander realised Chandragupta Maurya was better left alone ;)
@@mamba24281 Chandragupta wasn't even in power then. And his battle with Porus was not very difficult, he left because he wanted to ;-)
When Alexander came to Diogenes the Philospher and offered him everything. "Yes," said Diogenes, "you can step aside a little so as not to keep the sunshine from me."
I suppose he didn't offer him everything, but asked what he could do for him.
@@akashkaushik1 That´s one way of the story. In my mother tongue the story goes that Alexander said "Ask anything from me and you will get it" and Diogenes said "Get out of my sight"

Hey, Alexander and Aristotle are my maternal uncles. Uncle Alex likes his wine, so we call him “Alexander the Grape”. 🍇Greetings to India 🇮🇳 from Delphi, 🏛Greece! 🇬🇷
Wow!!! Grape 🍇
He was called great becuz of his territory expansion. And we all know how dumb was Aristotle
🙄
Abhigya Smiti - There have been many geniuses in the world, and a few super geniuses. Aristotle was undoubtedly head and shoulders above the rest - the greatest super genius of them all. Intelligence is commonplace, genius is rare; the ability to recognize it, rarer still: it is called wisdom.

I have never read anything great about our culture in school history books
Yes. Because of the dilution of these due to foreign invasion. Ironically we boast of diversity but diversity has taken a toll on our rich ancient heritage
True...
And you never will, because we read what west wrote, we eat what west ate, we follow what west did.
Our culture was much better and developed than that of west but during colonialism history was manipulated in such a way that our generation even doesn't know about what our culture was
That was the point of his video
Maneendra Singh agreed. But it is changing. Slowly, but awareness about our history is brightening! British education system has to go and books have to be inclusive of Bharat history, not what the invaders wrote, but what we know. Faith, brother, faith.

Alexander the Great brought a piece of Greece to the east. Back in those days it was all about conquering. You can't judge those times by modern day standards. Plus India and Greece are allies now.
It was not about conquering, but his thoughts about immortality. Watch carefully and understand what he is saying.
It was about the immortality thing bruh watch it clearly
Standards don't matter !
The fact is that Alexander was a warlord who was in the same league as Genghis Khan.

As a Greek I always had great admiration and respect for all things Indian, from the Nargish films that we all watched as children at the cinema, to their beautiful sitar music, their incredible clothing the food and their philosophy, I couldn't believe my ears listening to this guru shredding apart Greek culture not understanding anything of what the star pupil of Aristotle was all about. Never mind,. we invented Democracy, which means " Citizens Rule" and we always gave every citizen the right to say what he feels, but through debate. The above gentleman would have been silenced at the Agora after the first sentence he uttered by hundreds of ordinary citizens with reasoning arguments! But in today's Internet world anyone can say anything as clickbait, because millions are uneducated ,on purpose, so that they don't understand things that will free them from the yoke and make them free speaking CITIZENS. Alexander tried to educate people and get educated by them, he was seeking knowledge and he became Immortal because he was the hero of the people, I am a Spartan we never followed Alexander in his expeditions, but as a fellow Greek he made us proud for passing on the "Olympic Torch" to as many people as he could.
👍👍🤝
No one is immune to a moment's lack of understanding, i guess. To act like a Greek Historian when you're not, is worthy of sympathy.
Brother, yoga is yoga and killing is killing, the essence is the direction and motivation. It is not about India or Greece, these name are only authority's labels and borders. Please don't go with anger, instead may you focus on underlying concept around death and immortality.
You also invented gays 🤣😅
Τι να καταλαβουν...
There was a Greek Philosopher...I think Diogenes...who lived in a barrel and ragged cloths....Alexander visited Diogenes and told him whatever he wanted Alexander would give him...Diogenes asked Alexander to move...Alexander was blocking his sun...That is greatness...Diogenes needed nothing.
@@reesehendricksen4838 to which alexander laughed and walked away humbled and happier for the experience.
Diogenes was not greek, he was an Indian yogi whom Alexander met in India...the name " Diogenes" is a greek version of the real Indian name of that yogi... back then the Greeks gave a greek version to the Indian names for their own convineance ... for example chandragupta's greek version was sandrakutas, taskshashkla's was Taxila, Jhelum's was Hydaspes, Gandhara was Gedrosia, king Porushotam's Greek version was Porus... and so on ..
@@cosmictruth3600 Wrong.
@@cosmictruth3600 DIOS+ GENOS. THE NAME DIOGENIS IT IS 100% GREEK! DIAS WAS FOR THE GREEK GENERATION THE GOD!
THE GREEK WORDS HAVE ALLWAYS MEANING!
Alexander was great because he lead a tiny nation of warriors who for centuries were mistreated by the might of the Persian empire, and the Greeks conquered that empire and beyond. Also this would not have been possible without the work of his father Philip who unified the free Greeks and revolutionized its way of warfare. It would be the same as if Finland conquered Russia or Vietnam conquered China, and all that in one short lifetime...
Good to remember, one cannot mention Alexander without Philip, and his mother . . . and Aristotle, a father of Western Civilization.
👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
You clearly missed the point - why was it necessary to conquer anyone/anything at all? Genghis Khan started with even less and slaughtered/conquered substantially more… he’s not called great. This is a western perspective only.
But in movies it shows that king Philip was a drunkard
@@toofanish Every nation in this world that was and is was build on conquering lands and peoples. India is a great example of that throughout history.
This is quite a different perspective on Alexander the Great than the one depicted on the Netflix series. This story should have been the last episode.
Isnt it astonishing how this perspective is so opposite to the mainstream yet still sounds truer? Much truer, even obvious
Though it's a mere invention I think it's a very wise and touching one, namely that Prof. Devassia in his "Kristubhagavatam" tells us that in Christs's time there came many Easterners to the Holy Land and brought knowledge of their wisdom to Joseph and the young Jesus ...
Not invention written in megasthenes indica

Alexander brought civilization and respected cultures.

He was immortal before he started talking.

My issue is well none of us has known immortality. We can't judge what we don't know however wise or unwise it appears to be. If we lived a 1000 years, imagine all the different things you would achieve. You would probably be peaceful with death at the end. I always feel one life isn't enough for everything, and I think people really want longer lives without the aging so quickly. They dont want immortality and get that mixed up.

A long time before Alexander: proud men on horses entered India and brought with them the origins of current religions and language; interbred and set up the cast system.

Alexander united a few Greeks and destroyed the Persian empire all the way to India and freed the Persian occupied India stopping the Indian units in the Persian army from attacking the Greek city states.He also brought his Greek macedonian hat his Greek athenian arts statues and his Greek spartan martial arts- pancration- which Buddha used for strength and to defend,Buddha later brought it to China.Alexander was better than Great he was Fantastic he did it in 3 years and built the worlds greatest library in the city Alexandria he built in Egypt.He progressed the world.
Actually he utterly lost to king Purushottama, Alexander stopped in Afghanistan and when he died his chieftain celucus became the king of Afghanistan he never even came to India.
Alexandria library and information was taken from the Indus Valley.. Everything Greek has origins of Indian/ Indus Valley civilisation knowledge. Long before the Greeks thought they knew. it was already documented and practiced in Indus Civilization. Sorry Greeks !!. Earth diameter Earth distance from Sun. Value of Pi.

His suffering was one of great loneliness and impatience with those who didn't understand what he was trying to achieve. His generals instantly started fighting among themselves as soon as he died. Alexander was great because his vision was of one world ruled by one king, where wars would not exist, where all cultures of the world would come together to form one mega culture based on the hellenic civilization. He was truly an anamoly in history, we cave in to pressure, we do what others are doing, we strive for personal gains and benefits. What alexander wanted to achieve was much grander than any of us can even imagine, had he achieved it, he would have literally acted as a god. No man in history has achieved more than what alexander did in 10 short years
Alexander is the greatest warrior in all of human history. You either live for love or live for glory. All I hear from this yogi is "Indiuuhhh!!!".

Alexander is truly Great.He had a great philosopher as his teacher.He had enormous courage and strength to conquer the world.He shattered a great empire of his time.whatever he desired,he got on his order.He showed people what is the source of power.He led a god like life till he died.He was not a preacher like sadh Guru who has acquired prosperity through his disciples and leading a luxurious life which is against the saintly ethos of lndian philosophy.Sadh guru just entertains affluent disciples and not serve genuinely humanity
.
I think you are mad because you think you can get what ever you want with power but it is not true, if it was true then Alexander would never regretted the life he lead
this courage and strength that you are valuing is of a tyrant. not of a good human
Nice story ...i will sleep good now with learning all these historical things for a such a great..i..mind...all the books that i read until now i will throw them ...you are the best ...i will hear you you look very serious
Aristotle said once, " I don't mind if they whip me in the case I am absent."
What did he exactly mean by that? I can interpret that in several different ways.
Aristotle also instructed Alexander the Great to treat Greeks like a leader while the barbarians as a ruler. To take care and treat the first as family and friends whereas the second as animals and plants. How can a plant understand the greatness of Alexander and his achievements that only a few men in this planet managed to accomplish
@@vangelisrodis2977 To the WESTERN civilizations that idolized victory, military conquest and territory such as the Macedons, Romans, French, German, Spanish and the British, Alexander was a great and a hero. To the intelligent GREEK philosophers that valued knowledge, good arguments and good governance of Athens, he was a tyrant. And to the great sages of INDIA who valued humility, kindness and wisdom, he was an idiotic fool.
@@vangelisrodis2977 achievements as in warmongering ?
@@edwardkumarkenway1875 👍👍👌
That narrative of Alexander looking for immortality does not match the report of Alexander fighting his battles in first line with his cavalry. Or Alexander exposing himself to deadly danger when fighting lions with spears with his friends in his leisure time. Also does not fit the Greek ideal of the Iliad and Odyssey that Alexander was said to know by heart. So this story does not hold water. But it seems to have been made up for a purpose, and that is what is interesting. What is there to gain for the one who spreads such a story? That tells much about his agenda.
Fighting lions with spears during his leisure time.. LOL What university did you attend?
Alexander was not Greek, his ancestors, the Macedonians, fought against the Hellenes and were allies with the Trojans.
@@magdalenasoluncheva6468 Again with this? All greeks today are not myceneans which were the ones who fought the trojans. Please read up history especially about the bronze age collapse
@@cedrics5241 in ancient Greece there were lions and even small elephants my friend and the lions were constantly hunted
@@user-tl4sq8tk1c really? Hmm never knew
Feels like I’m watching a scene from idiocracy.
This sounds exactly like the story of Alexander meeting Diogenes. It could be intriguing (historically, socially) if both stories are recorded in tradition.
Those of you who watch this man and think he is charming and intelligent should do so with care. Someone who is truly wise does not need to continue slandering a person's name in order to postulate a lesson to people. This smells of an effort to deter people from truth. Even after gaining your trust, every action and word of a person should still be measured when it enters your mind. To be intelligent one must not be sleeping = ἔξυπνος.
sadhguru is a clown

@@stardust2531 you're incorrect
Extremely brilliant statement, this guy is in the same boat with those personalities who are hungry for ratings,
Hi we can cleary feel you're negativity .Sadguru is really a great philosopher so please be careful
Great quote by sadhguru " yoga is not about eternal life, but yoga is about sensible life".
Before that I don't know about sadhguru but now I have become a huge fan.
Actually if he could speaking always thought and teachings about Enternal life God will be happy walaiiiiiii
There’s No Eternal Life So That Makes Sense!
excellent story telling style to reaffirm purpose of life
We had same way of Alexander's thirst in battle and his way to India. My idea was he was thirsty for a healer an inner healing as a spiritual but when he found enlightenment he cross the desert going back which took too much tool on his body temperature maybe he wants to go back to Egypt but didn't make it.
Alexander and Diogenes
Story tells so deep meaning of life
I love that story. Diogenes is a huge inspiration.
Is there any archeological evidence to prove that Alexander came to conquer India in search of a mystic ? I think it is a tweak as per wish of such mystics
Alexander came to India, and died on his way back.
there might be, might not be evidence, the lesson from this story is immortal
@@machineman3004 Alexander came to India,defeated porus and went back..
@@hutao3548 if he defeated porus why he didn't conquer whole India ??
Is there any meaning if yes or no Alexander came or not, what do you get?
Understand the meaning of what he said.
I found a major flaw in your story @Sadhguru. If Alexander went into the cave alone then who told the story to everyone else? Surely not Alexander since he is portrayed by you as such a self righteous tyrant. Perhaps the bird was a stool pigeon. 🐦✌️❤️
A man who has done nothing, judges a man who has accomplished everything..

The last words - it is not about immortality, but whatever you live, live sensibly. Amazing. Touched!
Your guru has read the story of Alexander the Great. Obviously he didn't had study in depth his story. Egypt, Persians, Greeks were in love with him. Why? Because he battled their armies not the ppl. He didn't enslave anyone. Most of the times he left the same rulers to rule their ppl but with his laws. Many Persians followed him because they saw a king who was,for the first time, FOR THE PEOPLE. He was the first man who wanted to have a unite kingdom, and ppl not saying I'm Greek, Persian, Egyptian, Babylonian etc. That's why he wanted to marry Greeks with all the others. Obviously your guru is a man of love not HISTORY. DON'T MIX THINGS.
true, he is not objective, hates Alexander the great because he invaded india, so he makes up a bullshit story.
@@kronoscamron7412 does he won when he invaded india
You know where the communities you talk about got shelter?
Gurus are full of bullshit and propaganda.
@@venkateshtulabandula5251 If I remember correctly, he didn't. He died when he was at the border, plus,his army was tired after years of war,and wanted to go back to Greece....
Interesting with the name Skandar/Iskandar for here in Scandinavia we have the old myth of Starkad who was a powerful warrior. It sounds very similar as to perhaps be related somehow? Skanda and Scandinavia or Starkad and Iskandar? Just a coincidence, I guess, but it had me thinking.
Skanda is warrior king Lord muruga son of Lord shiva

Alexander emulated Achilles
@@vasilisarbi6858 the most well-known USA historian in past 75 yrs said in a speech I saw “Hercules.” This story is his story in speech. So I don’t know, did not read in a text, heard at a speech. Thank you for the info. I cd v well be wrong
@@paulsolon6229 perhaps there was a reference in Hercules because alexander consider to be descentan of him..but as a kid Alexander had a strong influence from Achilles..in every campaign he always carried with him "iliada" by homer..and before he start the great journey he stopped in the tomb of Achilles and made sacrifice to him
As far as we know*
Legends come from somewhere
@@manujakirinde3409 sarcasm is not pleasing to me. Good luck. Goodbye
Alexander the great - greatness for his military expertise. He managed to come all the way from Macedonia to India.
Also before he came to India , there was very little information about India in the Greek world, they didn't even have proper maps of India. (I doubt they thought it to be a place of immortal people, though they did think it of as an essentric place)
Also his idea was to conquer the whole known world, and he imagined there to be sea/ocean beyond india. (As per the maps provided by Aristotle ).
This story told by Sadhguru seems to be fabricated and exaggerated. It is not mentioned in any reliable historical text.
It's a good story to make it easier to accept the fate of death though. But nothing more than that. (In my opinion).
Way to feel morally superior to someone from 2 millenia ago. Well done you big man
Thank You it is calming to listen to someone when they are honest.
hahaha..
WEFguru isnt honest😂😅
There's also a story of Alexander talking to yogi about life. ,
Yogi asks- what will you do after you conquer India
Alexander replied-then i will conquer the whole world ?
Yogi asks- After That..?
Alexander Replied- Then i will live Peacefully.
Yogi said- Well I'm doing that right now , for that i just had conquer over monster inside me.
it was aristotle not a yogi that Alexander had this conversation with.
I really enjoy when he tells stories.
Edit: I have removed history word so that many restless people get mental peace.
Better to focus on the Present, not history or the future.
@@mahaprabhuji6890 But, we should learn from the history. you cannot ignore it. bcz today is tomorrow history.

@@prabhaskshatriyaraju1954 the problems we have today is because we didn't learn from history and it will keep on repeating until we learn. We need Chanakya.

Love Sadhguru ji!!❤️
One small thing one needs to learn, at a given time frame in the world , values of that day and age are in reference and hold water . Similarly, the author may be called worse name in the future few centuries away. It would be pertinent, this was told to Alexander in his presence ..... Everyone loves his life without exceptions.
I came from schooling where spirituality was every day part of life, everything sadguru say is what Sadguru say is obvious and logical to me, but this one about becoming immortal is masterpiece.
Wow.. May I know which school? I'm interested to know
Have you become immortal?
he can include humor with spirituality with some knowledge and at last a touch of logic....................i would say sadhguru the great(no word missing at last)

The crow was the Yogi who shape shifted, he simply hipnotized him for the sake of humanity.🙏🙏🙏
Ah ..is it so?
I believe that sadhguru have achieved everything in yogic world. So he must be able to shape shift too n teach lessons to idiots of this era.
Maybe he already does change his shape but doesn't tell us about those stories for some mysterious reasons.
😌😌
smoking weed????What type??
Alexander should have tied the Yogi to his horse and used him as his saddle, then go to the pool of water and make the Yogi drink it ! That would have been 'Great' for all of US!
