The girl in the red shirt in the discussion circle has the gentlest voice omg.
She needs to do ASMR 😌
Ashya has the most beautiful voice
For real though. I wish we were friends just so I could talk to her all day!
The lady actually gave some precise answers.
No doubt, this was tight.
Yes, I was very impressed; She expounded on everything that needed to be expounded upon, yet showed constraint and did not overpower the conversation / go on tangents. She answered the questions with enough information to make the answer clear as well as interesting. Bravo, girl!
+akpokemon Thanks - glad it was useful!
I love how much emphasis there is on the individual in Hinduism. Very cool!
This is one of the best channels on RUclips
Thanks, ZekeDG !! That means a lot.
Agreed!!!!
My dad`s girlfriend is Hindu so this video really helped me understand her religion a little better.
jammersss Thank you so much,The simplest answer about karma is that what ever good or bad actions we performed ( if it is 1 day ago or even 10 years ago or even previous birth) will reflect in our life as part of karma.. Hinduism is equal to mathematics & science, every thing we can apply by science and mathematics
I like when Pavitra stated, "Different paths, one truth." There are so many similarities between the different religions. It's all about one's perspective it seems. This video was enlightening.
Something I feel like they didn't address in the video was that in Hinduism, it is believed that all religions/faiths are all paths to the same god. We can take it all different ways but saying one religion is wrong or "your god is wrong, mine is right" has no morning because it is all the same. No matter how we do it, and what stories that we believe in. Because they all COULD have happened.
its a start. you cant just talk about everything. If someone is indeed interested, they will probably be compelled to research.
She did mention it, but I agree, it would have been nice for them to talk more about it.
I was actually really happy when she mentioned it, I thought they may not mention it at all. But yes, I think this is definitely something that should be emphasised.
+Ela'sChannel Hit the nail on the head! :)
I like this type of religion that isn‘t adamant about being the one true religion. But this probably stems from the many sects inside Hinduism and them getting along with each other, whereas in Christianity being from different denominations was part of war. I grew up as a Christian, but I am of Sri-Lankan Tamil heritage, so my parents grew up Hindu. It‘s a weird and exciting feeling to learn about my ancestors‘ culture.
I joined the Hare Krishna hindu group last summer, and it was one heck of an adventure! They had festivals, I enjoyed their cultural foods, I love their beautiful singing / chanting, they gave me tours of the local NYC ISKCON temples / ashrams, I also love going to Harinam in Union Square. I would love if you do a "Have a Little Faith" video about the Hare Krishnas.
+Siyyaha Crawford Hari bol :)
+Rational Atheist hariiiiii booooll
Haribol! I agree that Zach should do a spot on the Krishna consciousness movement. It is very misunderstood in America.
Zach, you're not only funny but eloquent in your responses. I adore the Have a Little Faith series.
Coming from a Hindu family but not being religious and growing up in North America, this video was fantastically thought provoking for me personally, and I feel, as I've always felt that the conversation of religion is one that isn't had enough amongst young people! Thank you for doing this! SoulPancake definitely deserves WAY more views, probably the best channel I've encountered on RUclips thus far :D
Zach is literally perfect for this series- open minded, pure hearted, comical, honest, intelligent, with the courage to ask all the hard questions. Thank you for breaking down my own judgements to see the good in so many people. Thank you for this series, and thank you to all the people who participated. SO awesome to hear people talk about their paths...it really restored the good I feel from humanity. God bless.
Completely agree.
Beautiful. Zach, you are so inspiring to a young journalist like me because you tell stories with such sincerity and heart. You have such a gift. Never stop.
Love this segment. Education is never a bad thing.
Hinduism is so interesting. I'm from Indonesia and they have it in Bali. I also learned a little about it, like the gods, karma (similar to Buddhism), and so forth when I was in school so I can relate to the video
Its the other way around. All Indic religion are derived from Hinduism.
Indonesia was Hindu country 500 year ago
i'm a hindu too (same pinch-ppl in video)! this was a really awesome discussion. Generally i get annoyed because when discussing Hinduism people don't mention that there is no one ideology and no one way in it and that everyone can practice it in their own way. so this was just hitting all the right spots.
sidenote-I love learning about other cultures and religions so thank you zach for making that easier
This is brilliant, I just watched the file Gandhi which I loved, so I decided to come on here to find out a little more about Hinduism, you have shown it in a modern and understandable way - I'm English and believe the answer is for all religions to love and respect each other through peace and love, thank you for helping in this quest
+marilyn lewis Hinduism is a personal religion, in which there are several texts. What I particularly love about it is that those texts are like folks in your life that you can accept or reject as mentors. As such, the religion encourages pluralism and comfort with the unknown. I'm glad that this video helped you find out a bit more about Hinduism and I totally agree - every religion can deliver messages of love and peace.
This was the perfect episode on Hinduism! They covered the main issues, not just dharma and karma but the search for truth, and the complex nature of Hinduism which was perfect. Thank you so much for this video!
She beautifully explained something that is incredibly intricate.
I'm so disappointed that I didn't find this show earlier. As someone who has her own set of beliefs, seeing what people who follow a specific religion do and really learning about the core beliefs is very enlightening. Also as a comedian, I'm consistently sitting here tossing my head back laughing. Zach, "She's really making the most of her life, even though she's getting another one!" was such a great positive joke.
10:20 zach's speech is making my cry. this series has widened my third eye 😭❤️
Have you interviewed a Sikh yet? I grew up in a town with a lot of Sikhs and I learned a little about their beliefs but I would like to see them on your show.
This man is so BEAUTIFUL AND INNOCENT :)
Many blessings to him :)
This is by far the best series on RUclips. Thanks Zach.
That second girl's voice is just incredibly clear!
Lol I was thinking the same thing. She should read audio books :)
Gosh, every time I watch these videos, I am just overwhelmed by Zach's genuine open-mindedness and his desire to share knowledge to other people who are equally curious as him. Sadly, people find the absurd need to declare the opposite views and bash everything that Zach is trying to depict. He already did a video on Atheism, so if you guys can't seem to get your arguments straight, follow the thread to there. Otherwise, why do you feel the need to beat down the positive concepts and ideas that are coming through these channels and use the comment box to bicker back and forth? Can't people just RESPECT the videos made for their enlightening worth and let it be?
I absolutely love this series. I think I'm always afraid to ask people about their religion because I'll look ignorant and maybe even offend them, but these videos help me see that it's okay to be curious and not know everything.
Finally a Hinduism vid! :) Sikhism next!
Thesaveone 1 Of course. Now if only we could figure out which one of the roughly 41000 Christian denominations is the right one...
+Thesaveone 1 umm no
+Thesaveone 1 Christianity is not even the first or oldest religion.. Although i believe in Jesus as Hindu :)
Zach is very generous.
I can relate so much to these people. I've also found that after I moved to America from India, I've learnt a lot more about my religion because people ask me about it and I feel so much more connected to my faith now thanks to people's curiosity, and I also learned a little more about it now thanks to this video. Thank you so much Zach for letting me hear about what other people who share my religion feel about it and letting me see a new part of our culture. YOU'RE AWESOMESAUCE BRO :3
A wonderful guest to have on the show would be Dr. Cornel West or even Radhanath Swami - his book The Journey Home I heard is very good and he has a pretty awesome and unique story
This was really insightful. I really enjoyed this.
Excellent point at 9:03 about understanding one's own faith.
This is one of my favorite Have a Little Faith episodes! Thanks Zach and team :)
This was really lovely 😊
Thank you for what you do.
It’s really nice to learn about new religions/perspectives. Your “mission” in life of sharing that with people is really the most beautiful thing you could ask for! What a blessing!
Also, I absolutely love that girls voice.
I think her calling is in ASMR 😌
I was looking forward to this video on Hinduism! Zach, thank you so much for providing us with this wonderful series.. I find it very interesting learning about all these different religions and you do such a wonderful job of respectfully asking such thoughtful questions. You're the best :)
Beautiful job, Zach! Thanks for this, can't wait for the next one c:
Very rarely do I see people so open to connecting to things well outside their normal scope. You sir are an amazing human being. I enjoy your videos and if I ever met you in person I'd love to pick your brain on everything.
Zach cracks me up! I love his outlook and his personality. The world needs more good people like him
Yes the world needs a LOT more people like him
You're awesome, Zach! I love these videos.
I love the Have A Little Faith segment, because I get to learn about all sorts of religions, that I don't understand a lot about right now. It makes it easy for me to understand.
Absolutely love your motivation and your attitude! Keep strong and healthy Zach, and I hope you continue to inspire
i'm watching these videos as a part of my religion class in university, and i have to say, i love them! thank you for putting these out here! its so great that they aren't just informative but they're also inspiring. LOVE! RUclips needs a LOVE button now! :)
Truly amazing video. Thanks Zach. Much love and light.
I forgot how much I love Zach and this show. I admit I knew very little about Hinduism before watching this - thanks again for a great eye-opener SoulPancake.
Zach: these videos are great! Thank you for sharing them with us
Love this series! Thanks Soul Pancake and Zach
Always great commentary with the perfect balance of humor. Thanks for always approaching these things with respect as well as humor. You are doing a great job making faith more accessible and understandable.
Zach, you are awesome! Thanks for the vid! :)
Love it!
Hinduism is not a religion!! it is just a way of leading life , where it gives absolute freedom of choice to the one who follow its guidelines
But... Hinduism is a religion.
***** Aprarently not.... Its set of structured rules you can follow... There is no compulsion , it gives you loads of freedom
A religion is defined as "a particular system of faith and worship" and involves "the belief in a superhuman controlling power". Hinduism has several rituals and modes of worship regardless of the freedom it may give you. And there are several Gods - so no problem there.
***** i know what you mean, and its difficult to put this is perspective, ill try, See India was not the way it is today, it was a large un-unified country.... most of their teachings were encrypted in vedas , Geeta etc... The way it was distributed was from one person to another , generation to generation were not by books but person to person orally ... Thus the way the meaning was interpreted was also different in different places and group, just imagine thousand and thousand of years hundreds of generations they will add , delete material from the source.. So people started seeing God in the closest thing they could relate, Example a tiny village :- a group of people find a rock/pool/mountain/tree to be interesting they would put their faith in it and call it a form of a God... imagine so many villages, towns and city cross that landscape , thus you will find so many Gods...where infact fundamentally they are the same....
When you read the ancient scripts written by sages its natural meaning will sound philosophical , but did you know there is a poem that will give you PI VALUE in RIGVEDA when you apply certain encryption mentho(youtube it)?? and so many constants! and many more scientific observation! the issue is we are not able to encryt those data and blinding reading them as songs and lores!!
So yes even though it looks like its a religion its not...
***** "a particular system of faith and worship" is not at all Hinduism. There is no particular system of faith and worship. There are different paths to seek the spiritual/truth. Hinduism is not even an -ism. It is a word given by outsiders to accumulate all different paths into one which is so wrong, but they did it for their convenience to group people living beyond Indu civilization. You can't accumulate all these different paths to lead a life as a one set of rules aka "religion". Westerners find it difficult to understand Hinduism because they view it through their perceived version of religion which will not help them to learn about Hinduism at all.
ohm nammah shiviyah.
I love videos like this. Learning is a big part of my life and this just helps me so much.
I love these series so much. It is so mind opening. Thank you for making it ^.^
All I can say is, wow. This series is amazing. I just found this days ago, and I’ve been hooked! I feel I can relate to Zach because I am questioning my religious beliefs, and this show is really inspiring me. Plus, my career aspirations are similar to his. I’d love to film and make a difference in someone’s life with my work. What I really want to say is, thanks for doing all this and just being you, Zach, and thank you soulpancake!
Wow! I actually have a pretty clear understanding of Hinduism! Great video Soulpancake!
Thank you SoulPancake for exposing the beauty and variety of all human cultures.
Zach, thank you for this channel and these videos. I truly wish to do just what you do. I really want to go to different churches and temples and what have you and just expand my own and others eyes mind ad horizons on all the different ideals beliefs and customs of all people around the world. Than you zach and rain and soul pancake.
10.06 beautiful quote from Zach regarding faith should unify and not separate us all. NICE ONE ZACH :)
This was such a fantastic insight into a religion I knew so little of. This is amazing. I really enjoyed watching.
This is beautiful!
Thank you for this video, it makes me more know about Hinduism. Liked and subscribed!
In Hinduism it's believed that everyone cant attain oneness wid god in one birth so there comes the whole concept of rebirth . if your karma are fairly fine but yet not upto the level u are reborn into another body which is more leaned towards god or else if your karmas are not good u are born into a lower organism and if your karmas are bad u are rewarded wid eternal hell . Basically SNAKE AND LADDER CONCEPT
THIS VIDEO WAS REALLY GOOD
Khushi Parekh Sorry your idea of karma is wrong. It is not that if you do bad karma you will suffer in next life. What if there is no concept of reincarnation? the correct meaning is that your bad karma not only affect you in present life but it will affect your future generation. what you are today not only depend on you but also many things/ persons, before you are born(can be called as past life). because of some ones good karma inventing computer and internet we are able to share our ideas.
Nitin Shankara sorry but its wrong to say that you bad karmas affect ur future generation . When each person is born only genetic traits are herited or passed on , not the aquired experience and result of bad or good doings. And if u ask the question if there is no concept of reincarnation then if u believe in hinduism then it is an integral part of the scriptures . The only thing i mean to say is based on wat u do in lifetime decides ur afterlife. And if u really study or research abt it , It Really makes soo much of sense
Khushi Parekh I did not mention anything about genetics. What i meant was, good or bad things you do not only affect you but also other people even after you die ( this can be afterlife )
I agree with Nitin Shankara But you have freedom in hinduism to think and figure things out yourself, what ever conclusion you arrive at, is your personal choice. There are no central doctrines to follow in hinduism. Only must are
AHINSHA (nonviolence, pluralism),
DHARMA (follow laws that make you good, makes society peaceful hapoy progressive for all) and
VEDA (reveal knowledge by scientific discovery).
And karma simply means deeds/behavior. Karma should be according to Dharma: rules rationalized as right &wrong harmful behavior.
And yes, it is common sense that our Karma (deeds) may effect future generations, like we pollute environment and future generation will suffer for our deeds. And we create computers and future generations will benefit from it.
Ashya has a beautiful voice, very soft and soothing.
Zach - You are just the best. I'm re-watching the entire series and just enjoying every one. You've got to do more, even on a new subject..?
I think it would be amazing if Zack did a Unitarian Universalist have a little faith episode, i think it would be right up his alley.
Keep up the good work !
best channel he has a great personality and has a great sense of humor
This was beautiful
I love how he gets a bit of comedy and a bit of seriousness in.
Is seriousness even a word??
Love these videos, they've taught me so much and helped me to understand religions so much more! Any chance on one about Taoism?
In this world full of pseudo secularism, it sometimes scares me about how religions like Hinduism will survive. This video reassured me that there is still hope.
Perfectly Done
Zach you are my hero!
Best RUclips series ever 😍
I say this every time I watch your videos, Zach I love you your one amazing person: )
Zach you are awesome!
I find hinduism to be really complex and this video helped me understand it better. Thank you!
Many paths, one truth.
One truth, many paths.
Love this series, I say that as a Christian who goes to church by himself in a fimly of six
Thanks a lot or sharing!
I love this! :D
Much Love and Respect !!
OMG I love this guy!
Very well done ☺️
You should do one on native american spirituality. ...I think that would be awesome. I also want to thank you for this channel , with all the music and other videos I can always check out soul pancake and feel like I auctually learned something after watching one. Keep on doing what ya guys do, it makes a difference. .at least for me. Take care
Jase
i just learned about this this week and i have a test tomorrow over it and this made understand more
Another great one Zach/SP! A catalyst you are ; )
Another good video.
"It's like Mathews McConaughey in Dazed & Confused, except I'm wearing a shirt." Oh My God, i just luv Zach!!
Zack Anner you are awesome. Best wishes to you.
real nice video
I love how they helped Zach with their prayer around 7:16
"cept I'm wearin' a shirt" I loved that. :)
this channel needs more views!
Zach's so nice! :)
Zach, you are a very wise person. Thanks for this video.
Great spirit
First time on this channel.. I was like WTF at the start of the video.. Thought it's like spoof or something.
But I find your spirit great and enthusiasm inspiring. Zach, great video so far.
Great series, Zach! You should do one on Unitarian Universalism, it's a great American religion!
product placement at @9.15?))
nonetheless, great talk! as suspicious of any religious practices as I am, I still enjoyed this conversation very much, they all seem to be such nice people. and zach rocks!
Love. Love. Love. This series! I do not believe in a god, I believe in Something with a capital S. But I think Zach has just reached another level of Karma
zach is a legend
