The fact the family is Jain, celebrate a Dharmic festival Diwali and let a christian/athiest perform with them a Hindu Pooja is itself shows how diverse and inclusive our culture is
@@warpdrive9229 Well the term Hindu itself is not actually of Indian origin (It is derived from Sindhu River which Greeks called Indus and Persians Used Hindu for us- old Persian/Avestan and old Sanskrit are sister languages and in many words you will find S to H shift). So Hindus for foreigners is anyone who lived beyond Indus River. We Hindus started identifying ourselves as Hindus mostly after Islamic Invasions. Well "who is Hindu" is not same as asking "who is Christian/Muslim". The concept of religion (western lens) cannot really explain it. Because Hinduism is something which incorporates, adopts, questions itself from time to time, that's why if you check you wouldn't find a concept like blasphemy in Indian religions (Sikhism is an anomaly for very obvious reasons). There are multiple school of thoughts which have coexisted with each other and have shared sense of culture, history etc. And every now and then these schools of thoughts have adopted each others' practices while also challenging each other beliefs based on rationale(these schools used to have debates/duels in ancient times). Hope that explains your question.

For me, being Indian means... knowing I'll never be alone. Take it in any sense : 1. The family is here to stay, integral part of life, 2. There will always be help in distress, because Indians are helpful 3. We love to speak, so there's never a chance of getting lonely 😁 4. There's just too many people here, periodt.. 😁

Being an Indian is an emotion!! An emotion of gratitude towards nature and courage to help others in need. proud of creating and giving so much to the world starting from '0' to Yoga to kamasutra to pyjamas! Being a Hindu is pure pride as it teaches us to respect each and every being in the world starting from trees to animals to rivers to humans! An Indian always stands out coz he/she is as unique as the soil of india! Proud Indian🇮🇳
Your travelling partner look so pretty. She looks like a princess wearing the indian traditional clothes. Diwali is so beautiful. I love all the lights and candles and all the colors💕💕

Hey Markian, I’m from Taiwan 🇹🇼 and I really enjoy your Diwali Celebration video. Although, I get chance to watch your videos on fb. Seems that you guys have so much fun and explored a lotttt about Indian families, warmness, love, culture, traditions, delicious food, colorful traditional attires so closely…!!! Do share your thoughts on your Diwali Celebration..!!!
Few corrections: Diwali (Deepavali) is not the new year for Hindus. Yes, it is festival of lights but as Vinod ji said it's not like new year. The day is celebrated to mark the returning of Bhagwan Shree Ram, his wife Devi Seeta and Brother Laxman after killing evil man Ravan and completing their 14 years of exile. It's basically celebration of victory over evil, knowledge over ignorance, light over darkness etc. And there are many events and stories associated with diwali since India's culture and traditions changes after every 100km. But in very few states/ palaces diwali celebrated as new year. New year for Hindus falls in the month of April called Ugadi/Gudi padwa/Bihu etc. New bud, New flowers, fresh air and small insects/birds carrier pollen and busy in making food. Overall all a new beginning associated with nature. Edits: ok ok.... I got to know that Jains and Gujjus celebrate New year on Deepavali. Very strange but not surprised since Hinduism is broad and vast you can expect everything.
I swear gujju ppl need to stop telling everyone that diwali is indian new year 😅😅😅😅 depending on whether some state follows solar or lunar calendar thier new years falls either on april13th/14th for the solar calendar states and varying dates in march or April for those following lunar calendar 😅😅😅 Nd all hindus observe diwali as goddess Lakshmi's birthday(goddess of wealth)
@@pranitavatsal1446 exactly.... Except Gujjus all Hindus celebrate New year in the month of April/March. But have to respect their way of celebration tho
India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition -Mark Twain.
I was waiting for this video since you announced it @markian back in October 2021 I think. So happy and glad to see you mingling in so many different cultures, not just Indian. Hope you visit us some day in India, would be great to host you. Thank you so much for spreading such an amount of positivity, warmth, joy and love. Love you all at Smile Squad. ❤️
@@joshyaj4317 Dalit Brahman thing is a history now, everybody has realised the True Sanatana Dharma (not saying for those who spread propaganda). Hinduism Unites ❤️
You guys are so respectful of various cultures and always ready to embrace it ! Thanks for spreading positivity through your videos. I just kept smiling throughout this video. This is exactly how we celebrate diwali with our friends and family!
You can never know Indian culture fully because there are a lot of diversity. Every state has different cultures, in fact even a state has a lot of diversity. But even with all the diversity, we are still one. We are Indian.
@@AS-jo8qh thats because we know everything about the west and their country's culture but they doesn't know ours but when they do it becomes mutual and feel respected
@WhAtEveRrr that's not really a celebration...it's more like a low-key holiday .in the west, it's really celebrated. It's huge- noticed the difference when I moved. I know they are majority Christian, but still- we don't really "celebrate" it.
@WhAtEveRrr wait.. what?? What states are you talking about? Which state is christian majority?? And no, i don't get christmas holidays, its mostly my exams during that period.
@WhAtEveRrr how is lack of knowledge embarrassing, its good that i got to know something new. I have read about goa genocides, so i know about that. But the states you mentioned had tribes and had a diversity of traditions, and were converted recently only.
Sikhs wear stupid underwear on their head and they have copied all surname from Hinduism. Singh is rajput surname and Kaur is copied from rajput "kanwar".
Many people recognise That this family Is jain Family i am jain too we jains are interlinked with Hinduism in many ways they are also interlinked with each other
What a loving and charming family. I love that you are learning many cultures as that is what brings us together as a human race... the way it should be. Each person you meet, along with the both of you are setting examples and for this you should be proud.
Markian is such a wonderful soul! He is so kind and respectful. World need more people like him. I Love your videos. It would be so nice if everyone thinks like him, the world would be a better place!🫂❤️
The family should've called you guys a week before to enjoy the real Diwali. Where you gotta clean every nook and cranny of the house. That's the real feel of Diwali.😩
My first time seeing your videos. Absolutely a great thought, to ask people can we experience your Heritage and community. Absolutely love this. I hope many more will see this type of exploring. Just sit down with people and talk.
when you are an indian and you see people from other country respecting your culture and understanding it ... it just makes an indian so proud and i love it! ✌💜
We celebrate Diwali because on this day Lord Rama, his wife Sita Devi and brother Lakshmana return to their homeland (known as Ayodhya) after 14 years in exile in forests. People lit a path for Rama, who had defeated the demon king Ravana.🌸💖
the family was so welcoming and lovely , the way they included you guys in each and every thing they did making you visiting different temples, they also bought indian clothes for you , then made you try different types of indian foods be it sweets or snacks or main course , i totally loved watching this vlog, and the whole idea of it people across the globe are able to understand different cultures now and it is always good to learn or gain knowledge about something new, such a wholesome vlog , loved it! 💗
Amazing experience learning new cultures and traditions. It's purely eye awakening and allows one to understand another's belief's. Wonderful family! They are such heart warming people and can easily accept any open minded person into their home.
Hey Markian, you're missing a lot of different cultures from India. Alot doesn't know about Northeast Indians, we have 8 states with many different cultures and cuisines. Please do check it out.
Diwali is my Favorite time of the year I love lighting fireworks and seeing them in the sky at night so amazing so Markian and Afomia how did you like our Indian food, people, prayers and clothes you are so inspired to learn more about each culture
Markian i am from India and rn I am watching this video from here n i feel so proud of being Indian. I respect you most for understanding our culture values and trying to connect with us in such a warm way. You are my favorite 💛
This was so interesting to me. I never really listened in religious studies at school so I’ve never really learned about other cultures. Watching this, I found myself smiling a lot more than I thought I was going to. I’m getting diwali fomo 😂
Markian and his companion looked very charming in their Indian dresses Markian's ability to blend in with people from other cultures is outstanding. This video helped me to understand a festival of my own religion in a deep manner 💖
I really commend the Indian families for showcasing the spiritual aspect of Diwali - including Lakshmi puja and going to Hindu and Jain temples. Diwali has become quite commercial so that was refreshing to see. Nice job!
Wow!! thanks for sharing Vinod. Markian you went to the best host and human being. I loved everything in this video. Keep going guys!!! live your passion and keep bringing the best you see out there.

@@jumbo6689 no..... tamilnadu is a state situated in South India...where people used to speak tamil language ....which is also known as the oldest language in the world ☺️
We should also appreciate that family who explained our culture and traditions really well . So kudos to both of you and to all those families . Love from India ❤❤❤
Markian Brother..I genuinely appreciate your efforts of your learning from our Indian Culture and Tradition..let me clarify one thing..Diwali is the festival of lights (here light means 🪔Diya made out of clay) but due to socio-economic division in the society,artificial lights have replaced the traditional Diya🪔..also Diwali is celebrated for the return of Lord Ram along with her consort Maa Sita after the completion of exile of 14 years from his Kingdom Ayodhya.
No, they have different temples , different God , different religions festivals. But still Jain People love to celebrate every Hindu festival. Hindus and Jains, they love to visit each others temples.
The fact the family is Jain, celebrate a Dharmic festival Diwali and let a christian/athiest perform with them a Hindu Pooja is itself shows how diverse and inclusive our culture is
Jains also celebrate diwali.
@@randomhuman8825 thats why I said- Dharmic which comprises of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism
Jains celebrate Diwali because it's the day the last Tirthankar Bhagwaan Mahavir attained moksha(liberation), not because they are Hindus.

Then they should stay at an other family to learn the other 99.9%! I would enjoy watching that.
Let's start a world that's okay with celebrating each other's cultures. Respect to all of you💜
For me, being Indian means... knowing I'll never be alone.
Take it in any sense :
1. The family is here to stay, integral part of life,
2. There will always be help in distress, because Indians are helpful
3. We love to speak, so there's never a chance of getting lonely 😁
4. There's just too many people here, periodt.. 😁
@star 3 Why are you repeating this poor people thingy? Who would want to donate all their money to someone random? And tbh we still donate. And poverty is on a downward trend, don't worry.
@star 3 why are you commenting? Why don't you donate your phone to any poor??
@star 3 then don't comment shit about other countries when you can't do that
Heee
@star 3 shut the heck up. Everyone in India is different. If u aren't Indian, doesn't mean u disrespect us and our nation!
My mom said how much she loves the video after watching and says thanks for making this kind of videos. I love learning about new culture. Plus my mom really loved the outfits and everything else about India. Thanks for making uplifting wholesome videos.
Mexican and Indian, I love it so much. Do whatever you want Markian. I love the international video so much. Loved your video so much and I enjoyed it so much. I was super smiling while watching this. I love it so much. Love you and stay safe. Have a wonderful day. You look so cute. ❤️
Watch the video where they spent a day with a Palestinian family.
Mexicans also love their family.
You must be living another level of spicy life😂
Being an Indian is an emotion!! An emotion of gratitude towards nature and courage to help others in need. proud of creating and giving so much to the world starting from '0' to Yoga to kamasutra to pyjamas! Being a Hindu is pure pride as it teaches us to respect each and every being in the world starting from trees to animals to rivers to humans! An Indian always stands out coz he/she is as unique as the soil of india! Proud Indian🇮🇳
Beautifully said :)
This is the speciality about Indians.
We live with our family and celebrate our tradition and live life Joyfully.
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.

Few corrections:
Diwali (Deepavali) is not the new year for Hindus. Yes, it is festival of lights but as Vinod ji said it's not like new year. The day is celebrated to mark the returning of Bhagwan Shree Ram, his wife Devi Seeta and Brother Laxman after killing evil man Ravan and completing their 14 years of exile. It's basically celebration of victory over evil, knowledge over ignorance, light over darkness etc. And there are many events and stories associated with diwali since India's culture and traditions changes after every 100km. But in very few states/ palaces diwali celebrated as new year.
New year for Hindus falls in the month of April called Ugadi/Gudi padwa/Bihu etc. New bud, New flowers, fresh air and small insects/birds carrier pollen and busy in making food. Overall all a new beginning associated with nature.
Edits: ok ok.... I got to know that Jains and Gujjus celebrate New year on Deepavali. Very strange but not surprised since Hinduism is broad and vast you can expect everything.
It's new year for gujratis
From next day of diwali Gujaratis new year
We called bestu varsh (new year)
It's jain new year
Jain's celebrate mahavir Nirvana day as new year
I swear gujju ppl need to stop telling everyone that diwali is indian new year 😅😅😅😅 depending on whether some state follows solar or lunar calendar thier new years falls either on april13th/14th for the solar calendar states and varying dates in march or April for those following lunar calendar 😅😅😅 Nd all hindus observe diwali as goddess Lakshmi's birthday(goddess of wealth)
@@pranitavatsal1446 exactly.... Except Gujjus all Hindus celebrate New year in the month of April/March. But have to respect their way of celebration tho
I love to learn about new cultures!! Happy Diwali!

Not me being Indian and speaking Hindi understanding everything they’re saying! Asian lives matter, thanks @Markian for respecting our culture.
You can never know Indian culture fully because there are a lot of diversity. Every state has different cultures, in fact even a state has a lot of diversity. But even with all the diversity, we are still one. We are Indian.
Indian is not a culture, and that is why.
@Mr. Mysterious Hindi Also another stupid term that makes no sense, especially when many modern Diwali traditions don't even stem from Hinduism.
@@Blaze6432 thanks for the backup
It always makes me smile when he or someone says a good thing about Indian stuff because I'm Indian.

@@AS-jo8qh yeah it's so sad

Yup that's why we love to watch such videos related to us😊❤️
Indian culture is always awsum 😍❤🔥
I’ve always wondered what it’s like to celebrate another culture’s holiday
same! I mean I am Indian so I celebrate Diwali but for example Christmas, is not something I have celebrated! I would love to celebrate it though :)
@WhAtEveRrr def not large scale, otherwise i would have known about that.
@WhAtEveRrr that's not really a celebration...it's more like a low-key holiday .in the west, it's really celebrated. It's huge- noticed the difference when I moved. I know they are majority Christian, but still- we don't really "celebrate" it.
@WhAtEveRrr wait.. what?? What states are you talking about? Which state is christian majority?? And no, i don't get christmas holidays, its mostly my exams during that period.
@WhAtEveRrr how is lack of knowledge embarrassing, its good that i got to know something new. I have read about goa genocides, so i know about that. But the states you mentioned had tribes and had a diversity of traditions, and were converted recently only.
U guys looks awesome in Indian outfits .and I really liked Ur respect towards our culture and nation .😍😘🤗

the family was so welcoming and lovely , the way they included you guys in each and every thing they did making you visiting different temples, they also bought indian clothes for you , then made you try different types of indian foods be it sweets or snacks or main course , i totally loved watching this vlog, and the whole idea of it people across the globe are able to understand different cultures now and it is always good to learn or gain knowledge about something new, such a wholesome vlog , loved it! 💗
Amazing experience learning new cultures and traditions. It's purely eye awakening and allows one to understand another's belief's. Wonderful family! They are such heart warming people and can easily accept any open minded person into their home.

I really commend the Indian families for showcasing the spiritual aspect of Diwali - including Lakshmi puja and going to Hindu and Jain temples. Diwali has become quite commercial so that was refreshing to see. Nice job!

This made me so happy! Thank you for taking interest in our culture and appreciating it :) My dad's name is the same as the husband's name lol
Markian Brother..I genuinely appreciate your efforts of your learning from our Indian Culture and Tradition..let me clarify one thing..Diwali is the festival of lights (here light means 🪔Diya made out of clay) but due to socio-economic division in the society,artificial lights have replaced the traditional Diya🪔..also Diwali is celebrated for the return of Lord Ram along with her consort Maa Sita after the completion of exile of 14 years from his Kingdom Ayodhya.
I never knew Jains had different Temples, Thought Hindus and Jains share the same Temples..
Well I learn something new everyday :)
No, they have different temples , different God , different religions festivals. But still Jain People love to celebrate every Hindu festival. Hindus and Jains, they love to visit each others temples.
@@ajay-i2s2r not different gods, some dieties are common.
Some of gods in Jain and Hinduism are same. But Jains give more importance to Human avtaar of Gods.
Because it's not religion it's dharma and it's pluralistic accepts everyone
Jains have different temple for their thirthkars and hindu gods too are there in temple.
The fact that I am Indian and I love chai and Diwali is one of my favorite holidays make my heart warm
This was very educational and pleasing to watch. Thank you so much Markian, for capturing the beautiful culture of India. God bless you.❤
