Original Description: What is Hinduism?
Hinduism, the religion of over a billion people, is the world’s oldest religion and the most confusing one to non-Hindus. It makes billions of people around the world ask, What is Hinduism? Some say it isn’t even a religion, more a way of life. Hindus themselves call it Sanātana Dharma, the eternal tradition. So what is Hinduism, does YOLO apply to them, and who is that elephant god?
Hinduism is the world's oldest active religion. It's the result of the merging of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation and nomads that came into India around 1500BC. Some scholars say it could even go back many more thousands of years.
Hinduism has a long long history. But today we'll be focusing just on the core beliefs of Hindus because I don't have the willpower to animate a 3-hour video.
Hinduism is so diverse, so deep, and means so many different things to different people. Learning even the basics of this fascinating and ancient religion gives us an insight into the worldview of over a billion people.

Brahman is very similar in concept to the Shinto Concept, in that they are both simply the Universe and creation itself, not the True Source of All (Allah)

Hence why I haven't found anything equivalent to the Islamic concept of Allah in Hinduism.
@@awakeningforce8798 is this Creator God akin to Allah or limited in comparison?
P.S. how did this creator of everything communicate thetruth of reality to humans without the use of prophets/messengers?
either we are all are prophets, some are prophets or none are prophets.
if you say the last option, then how did humans get the vedas? where did the information come from?
are are you saying that God just created a physical veda, like the stone tablets and dropped them somewhere and ancient hindus found them?

Don't worry in this video you didn't touch even the surface of understanding hinduism.
Pay attention.... He said .... That the king's dharma is to rule "well". And these are not just stories but Ramayan and mahabharat are our proven history.
Dharma means - Doing the right thing in the role you are playing right now. For example - as a content creator your drama is to put sincere efforts into the content you produce. In King's role, his Dharma is to be a father figure & a protector for his subjects. Basically, being honest about the role you are playing.
Sweetheart why r u telling these guys who is never trying to understand what is reality. They r the Zakir nalayk bhakts 😂
Dharma isn't just that. It has many layers. It's the way through which order of cosmos is maintained. Not just right thing or duty. It's facet to use in common life is duty or righteous actions. Just one facet. It's much beyond that. That why it says sanatan( eternal). Because your duty might end but order of the cosmos will never end. It will always be there.
MAHBHARATA--Is actually history. In mahabharata KRISHNA tells I am GOD and he shows his what god sees like to arjuna. And u tell all hindus belief are stories but u have to search it then u know what actually our history is.
EXCEPT krishna all tell I am son, messenger ,etc of god .

Two points that weren't that clear from the video. The Upanishads are a part of the Vedas. The Bhagavad Gita is part of the longer Mahabharata. The CZcams channel Let's Talk Religion has a playlist, Seekers of Dharma, that gets into more detail.
There are loads of commonalities between Hinduism and Abrahamic religions too. Basically it is believed that Judaism was born out of Hinduism... Those who did not believe in "Brahman" philosophy migrated to the Middle East and Egypt and from Ramses, monotheistic ideology initiated termed as "Abraham". Adding "A" to any word in Sanskrit negates the meaning of word. And then Judaism was born and then Christianity. Islam, I believe was different. Coz, Quraysh tribe of prophet Muhammad were basically Pagans who worshipped idols of Gods and Goddesses like Al-Manat, Al-Uzza, Al-Lat, Ishtar, Hubal, etc. Hubal was specifically the God worshipped by Quraysh tribe. The Crescent Moon on top of Mosques, Holy Kaaba and many Islamic country flags represent this Moon God symbolically. You can check pre-Islamic Paganism was also an indirect derivative of cultures from the Indus Valley + Egypt + Africa. It was all a fusion and high level of tolerance existed as more Gods within a Pagan religion prevented fights, wars, etc. in the name of A God, coz all beliefs are acceptable. Pre-Islamic Pagan culture promoted more like a peaceful democracy rather than an autocracy or one-man-show.
@@MuslimMindsUSI suggest if you are allowed you can read our books and not look for these videos because they can never explain everything properly there is a lot that needs to be understood and these CZcamsrs don't explain it properly because they are aware of their audiences short span of concentration

27:35 for we Hindus, the river ganges is by default always pure. And yes you did put some valid points. The river ganga is seriously polluted and it should be cleaned up. But the population of India is so large that it is very difficult to do that. Unless everyone around becomes aware of the dangers of water pollution things can't get better. As of the dead body thing I want to say that it is a custom to immerse the dead persons remains (mostly ashes) in the waters.
Hey Agniswar, you said the river is always pure but polluted. Do you mean it is always pure in a spiritual or holy sense?
-Rohaib
@@MuslimMindsUS it's pure in the sense that it's a spiritual river and if left on its own the river can clean itself
@@MuslimMindsUS yes.
It is scientifically proven that the rive Ganges has a special kind of bacteria which rejuvenates that river which are not find in any other river.... I personally thunk that Hindu people were very much more scientifically developed but the transfer of knowledge was poor... so we must read these texts with a scientific perspective as many info.. on our texts are written metaphorically rather than literally....
@@satvikmishra0 thanks , i know these but it hard to explain it to them as people who only want views don't focus on facts
Bro brahma(the creator) is different and brahman(formless eternal) is different ❤
Also , video mentioning Sanskrit to be Hindu religion is wrong, Tamil and other south languages are as much Hindu but has no trace of Sanskrit. Being a North Indian even I learned that recently.
And Brahmin is the uper most cast ,which is different from Brahma or Brahman . Which are one of thevtrinities and the formless force of the universe that created everything including itself .
@@manojdixit5075 Brahman it's not cast its varna people made it cast ❤️
So why Hindus don't worship one and only brahman the supreme being?🤨 Why you have to worship idol?🤨
@@exHindusoldier same reason why Muslim worship facing kaba . Supreme being is in every direction , everywhere, in everyone and in everything…. Then why face only one direction?
Idea or gods are certain representations of supreme being and their different attributes and power of gods. It’s just a means to reach to god. As Hinduism preaches “ there is one truth but many ways to reach it”
Just like , different religions books are used to reach god by different cultures and religion. Without any book existing also the god exist, no ?
I am proud to be a Sanatan Dharma.
Caste system was a skill based grouping. Christian British built the caste discrimination in 1820 through thier policies
You must not have read the puranas. Or you are willfully ignorant.
@@pseudonym9215, there's a difference between Varna-based categorization and caste-based social hierarchy.
@@HajimeOtaku Brother caste-based social hierarchy is the varna system. Where one varna is superior to the other and hence enjoys social privilege. This was well established so in hindu philosophy and its the reason why it was practiced in hindu society.
@@pseudonym9215, the hierarchy was sort of given a context in socio-economic texts and not in the philosophical texts. So, it was the society who did that. Spirituality, i.e., Sanatana Dharma had nothing to do with it.
@@HajimeOtaku Manusmriti is an authoritative hindu(Sanatana Dharma) text, you can't disregard it without reason if you are Hindu. And Puranas do stipulate the societal hierarchy of 4 varnas, by specifying the 'gunnas' and occupation of these varnas. You may choose to not follow it today but its going against the Sanatana Dhrama according to scripture and the historical understanding of the varna system.
9 Avatars of Vishnu - Fish Avatar (Life Originated in water ), then Amphibian - then Mammel - then Wild animal - then dwarf (early man) - then a man who lives in Jungle and has tools - then Ram one who lives in civil society, then Krisha ( More complex society - More grey characters) - Buddha ( Evolved soul - renunciation) followed by Kalki ( destruction) - And then again the cycle continues
Mahabharat and ramayana is not stories or myth it is history of ancient India and Mahabharat actually happened 5000 years ago
Mahabharat and ramayan is not just story ,its a history written by great sage Ved vyasa ji and Valmiki ji it tells about how we can live in our life by learning from these It has a whole knowledge which one need in life .

The Ganges River carries nutrient rich sediment as it flows, depositing fertile soil along its shores. This has allowed civilizations to develop and thrive along the waterway for centuries, that is a possible reason why its water is considered holy .Ganga has characteristic water quality in terms of physico-chemical property and microbial diversity that might have a role in the reported self-cleansing property of Ganga. But with increasing population and bad sewage manegement the river is dying . However , PM modi in 2014 launched the programme called swatach india to clean india and a specific program called namami gange to restore ganga . Hope future is better for ganga .

Nice video and attempt to understand Hinduism. Hinduism is both ritualistic and spiritualistic, and sees a distinction between the two. It is also very individualistic because spirituality is something that can only be practiced individually and there are many ways to experience self-realization (which is the ultimate goal of spirituality in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism). This essentially means there are often many ways to the same destination - self-realization. This is because the path taken by an individual depends on his/her mental state, physical state etc.
That is why even someone like Sai Baba of Shirdi, who is not a traditional Hindu (knowing the vedas, doing pujas etc.) is still worshipped by Hindus - because whatever the path he followed, he's recognized by Hindus to be self-realized or enlightened.
Maybe Sufism in Islam, and Gnosticism in Christianity come relatively closer to Hinduism (perhaps influenced by Hinduism in some way).
I think that the divine truth can manifest in multiple places. We don't have to believe that everything that is good outside of Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism is somehow because of us. Furthermore, it is possible that Sufi beliefs also influenced Hindus.
i was never a religious person but i always listen to my teachers because i can understand them and after reading Geeta i believe in Krishna and i can bet on that whatever he told in Geeta is impossible to even think about by a normal people got goosebumps and i literally cried you will get all answers in Geeta but remember to counter those words you will never be able to counter his words no matter how smart you are and question about ganga why its getting dirtier day by day its all in geeta i may read all those vedas one day but for now Geeta is enough for me its like a summery of everything, and if some random human telling you to do this and that we should ask Why? what is the logic even who are you man dont get fool in the name of Dharma.
Dharma opposite is Adharma which is for hell be careful.
Tbh Geeta is a very good start on how to live a life
But the Gita is also something a random human wrote.
Hinduism (Sanatan dharma ) is not a religion,it's a way of life.... basically how life should be...be free to question,be kind to others...love each other...help each others..
Appreciate the way you guys interpreted it - you guys did superb job
Dahrma it's not religion its duty and it's change every time acording to work means if you father so your dharma is take of you child, if you are husband you dharma is take care of you wife so it's changed according to time ❤
brother if you have heard about ganga river being polluted .. please research about some special bacteria and enzymes present in this holy river that makes it still pure as they slowly destroy the pollutants.. you can find a video for it .. where it is been discovered by scientists
Caste was not word from vedas or any hindu text. We hv classes...1. Brahmin - one who educated, knowledge and people who basically prays god...2. Kshathriya - the people who protect the land...like rulers , soldier 3. Arya Vysya - Business people who get wealth to land and 4. Shudras - who keep the land clean...a person class is decided based of their liking....many if us at present dont believe Manu Smriti...Hinduism allows for interpretation and change according to change of society
Vedas (the books) are not "divine" in the sense, they are not the "word of god". Vedas actually doesn't refer to the 4 books at all. Vedas technically means the spiritual well of knowledge. Seeing that the newer population was getting more restless and failing to unlock their spiritual minds, Veda Vyasa figured it would be easier to condense the knowledge into books. Therefore he penned down the Vedas. Once again noticing that the Vedas was too difficult to understand gurus gave their interpretation of the Vedas to their students, these lectures were recorded in the form of Upanishads. Since Krishna is considered as a guru himself, when he uttered the Bhagavad Gita to Arjun it was considered as another Upanishad (technically it is not an Upanishad, but since Upanishad means the teachings of a Guru to his disciple, Gita also qualifies as an Upanishad.) The Puranas were compiled much later and are not as authoritative as the Vedas. However the scope of the Puranas are far far more diverse than the Vedas. There are 18 Maha Puranas (Major) and 18 Upuranas (Minor). The Maha Puranas often seem more fascinating due to their vast subjects. They cover cosmology, science, politics, spirituality, hinduism, atheism, agnosticism, medicine etc.
Hey, so here's something about Ganges
The Ganges had descended upon earth with the motive to cause destruction through flooding everything, Shiva who meditated on the kailash parvat took on her initiative to trap her in his thick hair, as a result Ganges flowed through the land as a river.
Also, cremation in Hinduism is not entirely different concept, but the ashes in the waters is just so that the soul can continue its cycle rather than being trapped as a spirit, aka. mukti

as far as i know darma basicly means live your life according to the "role" god gave you. Hense "no matter how unpleasant it becomes" like the ruler that didnt wanna go to war, but this war is part of his role as the ruler so he had to fullfil his dharma.
If one is not a born Hindu, it's not easy for him to understand Sanatana Dharm❤
From what I've heard from NDEs, they also seem to describe brahman, and the Hindu concept that atman (the soul) equals brahman. Many of them describe a feeling of unconditional love upon death, and a reconnecting to the source/transcendent reality/universal consciousness that is brahman. Some even claim that this source spoke to them and told them this was so. As for how God relates to the universe this way, it's like God created the universe by splitting himself into infinite pieces to become the universe itself made conscious. Brahman is both the energy at the source of all atoms that is the very fabric of the universe, and the conscious being that created it with an infinite understanding of everything in it because it is everything in it. The expanded Kardashev scale of a type 7 civilization, though highly theoretical, seems to describe this concept as well. A type 7 civilization is actually a single being that is both the creator of the universe, and the totality of all existence of everything in it. With this view, all life is actually part of the divine, but we experience it as sort of a simulation with a limited viewpoint, while God experiences everything as true reality, and possibly we do too upon death and reconnecting with God and divine truth. NDEs also often describe reincarnation. I didn't realize how much NDEs had in common with fundamental Hindu concepts until just now.

Hinduism is very vast & it is easily understandable the difficulty in understanding.I think the one who doesn't have the right to question their religion cannot understand our liberalisation of questioning & freedom of debate on the religion 😊
The root word 'vid' means knowledge, so Vedas are books on science. Just like there is no founder of conventional science but all works of science are discoveries and can be tested, Vedas contain the collection of discoveries written by enlightened sages, seers, engineers, etc. via "Divine inspiration" on topics from spirituality, philosophy, geometry, astronomy, physics, complicated rituals, etc. and have been passed down from Guru to student over a millennia.
Another way to understand Dharma is as duties and responsibilities of a person or a group towards a variety of things, people and society based on their role. Sanatana Dharma implies the duty that one has towards their own spiritual growth - this duty is always existing and never changing regardless of time and place.
The Ramayana and Mahabharata are part of itihasa (historical retelling in a format that guides our lives). The events recorded in these texts are over 5000 years old and mostly difficult to verify. However, most Hindus are not infatuated with searching for a proof. These texts are integral part of our culture and so Hindus are unperturbed by their authenticity.
The pratima of God like Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and their incarnations are often created as symbolic images that are pleasant, which is why you'll see them look very attractive. Another way to look at it, is the representation of God(depicted as masculine) and God's power(depicted as feminine), just like Shiva & Shakti or Purush & Prakriti.
I am completely speculating on the river question you asked, but its my understanding India has always been very decentralized through out history and modern India also became very bureaucratic and it's very difficult to make changes at a national level.
26:45 - Efforts are underway to clean up Ganga. The problem is with unchecked development - leather tanneries, sewage etc releasing waste into Ganges.
"Authorship
Hindus consider the Vedas to be apauruṣeyā, which means "not of a man, superhuman" and "impersonal, authorless." The Vedas, for orthodox Indian theologians, are considered revelations seen by ancient sages after intense meditation, and texts that have been more carefully preserved since ancient times. In the Hindu Epic Mahabharata, the creation of Vedas is credited to Brahma. The Vedic hymns themselves assert that they were skillfully created by Rishis (sages), after inspired creativity, just as a carpenter builds a chariot.
The oldest part of the Rig Veda Samhita was orally composed in north-western India (Punjab) between c. 1500 and 1200 BCE, while book 10 of the Rig Veda, and the other Samhitas were composed between 1200 and 900 BCE more eastward, between the Yamuna and the Ganges rivers, the heartland of Aryavarta and the Kuru Kingdom (c. 1200 - c. 900 BCE). The "circum-Vedic" texts, as well as the redaction of the Samhitas, date to c. 1000-500 BCE.
According to tradition, Vyasa is the compiler of the Vedas, who arranged the four kinds of mantras into four Samhitas (Collections).
Chronology, transmission, and interpretation
The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts. The bulk of the Rigveda Samhita was composed in the northwestern region (Punjab) of the Indian subcontinent, most likely between c. 1500 and 1200 BCE, although a wider approximation of c. 1700-1100 BCE has also been given. The other three Samhitas are considered to date from the time of the Kuru Kingdom, approximately c. 1200-900 BCE. The "circum-Vedic" texts, as well as the redaction of the Samhitas, date to c. 1000-500 BCE, resulting in a Vedic period, spanning the mid 2nd to mid 1st millennium BCE, or the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The Vedic period reaches its peak only after the composition of the mantra texts, with the establishment of the various shakhas all over Northern India which annotated the mantra samhitas with Brahmana discussions of their meaning, and reaches its end in the age of Buddha and Panini and the rise of the Mahajanapadas (archaeologically, Northern Black Polished Ware). Michael Witzel gives a time span of c. 1500 to c. 500-400 BCE. Witzel makes special reference to the Near Eastern Mitanni material of the 14th century BCE, the only epigraphic record of Indo-Aryan contemporary to the Rigvedic period. He gives 150 BCE (Patañjali) as a terminus ante quem for all Vedic Sanskrit literature, and 1200 BCE (the early Iron Age) as terminus post quem for the Atharvaveda."
My dear friends there is no Caste System in Sanatana Dharma. The concept of caste is a contribution of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. They ruled us for 2000 years. Hindusm is based on Dharma. Thats why it is called Sanatan Dharma. Every living and non living things in all universes are different forms of 'Brahman' or 'Parabrahma'. So You shoud respect Every creatures and everything.

River Ganga's water has medicinal properties, Hindus keep Ganga Jal (water) in bottles for years & it doesn't spoil like any other water. Over the years overpopulation - dumping everything in Ganga - not taking enough initiates to maintain it has led to this state of the river. Now since couple of years, Govt has started the "Namami Gange" initiative to clean & maintain Ganga Ji. It is much cleaner as compared to what it was a decade back.
what he told about manusmriti is again the english translation of the book done by the people belonging to british christian missionaries.
manusmriti in its original sanskrit language states that every person has 2 varnas. the first varna is received by the family the child is born in but it only lasts until he goes to a gurukhul(school) for his education. once he is in the gurukul, he looses his varnas and he has to prove his worth to gain a varna. if he is very good in intellect and has knowledge of all the vedas, he becomes a brahmin, if he has warrior like abilities and passes the physical tests, he becomes a kshatriya, if he is good in economics, he becomes a vaishya and the one who is a great craftman, smith or artisan becomes shudras. This is the second varna that is given to them by the guru(teacher) and this is the final and the main varna they will remain in for the rest of their life.
A person can move between the varnas but he will have to prove his worth, only and only then he can move between the varnas.
to destroy this whole concept and plant feud between the people, british first banned the gurukhuls, banned the movement of people in varnas, offered the children of bhramin and kshatriyas to read in catholic schools in india and britian who later become their employees and ran the country for them as servants while the shudras and vaishyas were forced to do manual labour.
Because these bhrahmins and kshatriyas were a thorn in the path of british conquest of indian and the christianity, both of them were hit so hard with the catholics english education that they could no longer propagate sanatan or fight against the british empire, instead they would look down upon their own culture and religion and accept british as the supreme lords and christinaity as the religion of the lords.
this createad a fake sense of pride in the upper 2 casts that they were supreme beings selected by the god himself and the last 2 were looked down upon.
But slowly the indian society is learning again about its past and the majority no longer believes in this horrible system of cast.
Thank you for giving time to try and understand Hinduism 🙏🏼. You were both very respectful. Om
When you have so mouth information so you because bit Complicated to understand.. This ia wht happens with Hinduism...
But time to time be have great scholes who interpretes it to us....
Lord Krisna summaries all hindu Philosophy in one book & that is Bhagwaat Geeta ❤
I suggest you to bring one bottle of Ganga river water and also take one best water you can get , leave them for months , you will start seeing difference.
There are few things which are actually a bit misleading in this video, like lord vishnu's wife is goddess laxmi, and Bhu Devi(an avatar/form of laxmi herself) is lord Varaha's wife(one of the avatars of Vishnu) and lord shiva's wife parvati and sati are the same. Basically sati sacrificed herself in a protest(long story) and reincarnated as mother Parvati.
Ganga is the holiest river for us and in the early years of our independence it was polluted because British started industrialisation with out any proper conservatory measures but now thankfully in most of our holy sights its clean
BTW THE ASTRONOMICAL REFRENCES WHICH ARE GIVEN ARE APRROXIMATELY RIGHT BECAUSE CELLESTIAL MECHANISM IS VERY PRESICE. THE CITIEES WHICH ARE MENTIONED STILL EXIST AND ALSO WHICH SUBMERGED IN OCEAN LIKE DWARKA WE FOUND THE REMAINS OF IT EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS REFFERED IN MAHABHARAT .
YES BUT WHAT WAS THE NEED TO PUT THIS IN CAPS?
Yes bhraman is the universe...
If you see physics E=mc2 kinda tells you the sane thing
You that's what I am about to say
Mahabharat and Ramayan is written as ithihas which itself translates to great history.Ved vyasa who himself lived circa 3500bce-3100 have written Mahabharat based on live events happened on earth.There are still archeological evidence for all the palace and areas mentioned in the mahabharata
Ganga has been polluted due to human activity including industries...there is a huge programme to clean Ganga, but that is proving challenging given the large population and challenges...but we will get there sooner than later...
Gov. is working to clean Ganga rever. We have several programs related to it... Hence it is largest revier & also it preda in many Indian states so it is bit hard to clean it because so Sometimes states are not on the same page.... But as I see till now is that ganga is being cleaner day by day.... ❤
And one more fact to your surprise is that you can store it for years but it doesn't get foul
Mahabharat and Ramayan is not just story, its a history written by great sage Ved vyasa ji and Valmiki ji. For example, there is a bridge the avatar Ram built from South India to Sri Lanka which an archaeological expedition has discovered ruins of.
It's not easy to make comments with minimal information, especially when comparing religions. For us, it's not just a religion; it's a way of life. Despite being exploited by other religions for over 600 years, we've endured. The survival of our way of life is thanks to our ancestors and their practices.
Many present-day Hindus might not know the details of Vedas and Upanishads. Most people are familiar with the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, which are part of our history. We worship human forms of gods, and it's a significant aspect of our culture.
We(excluding priests and scholars) are revisiting our history books and teachings of Vedas from Gurus to understand the real reasons behind our cultural practices. Why? Because over the years, those who ruled us caused damage to our values, temples, knowledge, social structure and wealth. Despite this, we're still standing and fighting.
After gaining independence, rebuilding a country like ours, exploited for 600 years, is not an easy task. It's essential to consider various aspects before addressing issues like cleaning the rivers.
Our country is secular, and our Muslim brothers constitute the second-largest community in the world, which is a real testament to our diversity.
Please refrain from making reactions about religions without proper knowledge. Understanding and respecting different cultures and religions are crucial for constructive conversations."
Hope you understand...!
Regarding your questions we have only one answer and that is “we are in kaliyuga” regarding ramayana and mahabharta you can review rama satu and under water dwarka which proves the it’s a historical event
8:13 no your getting ot wrong... Its not like that... No one has a set dharma... Its like you will realize that your spiderman then you realize that your dharma os saving people. A person who is born to a sweeper or a poor farmer but has a aptitude for maths.
Then his dharma is to study maths.
A lot of Hindu texts are allegorical - so the Mahabharat is about the "inner war" - the fight with your own demons inside your head/mind. There is a detailed interpretation from that POV written by Paramhansa Yogananda (about 700 pages :). The 5 Pandavas are 5 good tenendencies of the mind - the 100 kauravas and other main characters in their army, the bad tendenncies.
In fact at the end fof the Mahabharat, there is apparently a question posed by the narrator (Sanjay) which is something like "did this war really happen? or was it just my imagination?" background: The narrator is Sanjay, who is given "divine sight" to see the battle happening on the battlefield, and narrate it to the blind King - who many consider the root of all the evil in that story and whose 100 sons got killed in the war.
The question by Sanjay can be interpreted in 2 ways - the happenings of the war were too dramatic,. Or it is an allegory. Who is the blind King inside you, who are the 100 evil sons, who are the 5 valiant princes, etc etc etc. Those, I think, are the practical questions.
For the Ramayana, you can read what Ram Dass (f.k.a. Richard Alpert) has to say.
river ganga is now completely cleaned with Namo Ganga project with the help of japan. so check ur facts
Brahman is the formless aspect of God, that is pure consciousness. Our God is both with form and formless.. (saguna and nirguna). As conciousness God is present everywhere. Thus he is omnipresent, because he is omnipotent... In other religion God is only formless, and doesn't have the power to take form.. So how is he(gender also applied to this formless God somehow) all powerful?
I've fulfilled my dharma as a viewer

I have heard, I might be wrong, that Jesus is considered as a non-Vishnu avatar in some sects of Hinduism.
Interesting, I have heard of this before as well
-Rohaib
In Occultism/NeW Age/Theosophy, it is said Christ was in fact Krishna overshadowing the pure mental of Jesus, so that it was essentially Krishna who talked through the pure mind of Jesus. Krishna aka Christ/Maitreya is said to come back soon but in his own body this time, not through the mind of a trained disciple as was Jesus who later reincarnated as Apollonius of Tyana.
its complete nonsence . u might have heard because of conversion mafia uses many tricks like that to convert mostly poor ,uneducated hindus .
@@MuslimMindsUSthere are many similarities of lord Krishna and Jesus. Anyone worshipping Jesus is indirectly worshipping Lord Krishna.. it's a long and deep explanation
Love you brother,,,, from India ❤❤
Thanks bro 😁

In Hinduism, the concept of universe and existence started as any other religions, with gods andntheir powers. But it evolved later, as only one God to trinity, qnd later also with multiverse theory. The example of the droplert meeting with the ocean is a hood example but actually hard to understand.
But still, i think Hinduism is the only religion that makes one think at a very mature and scientific way.
Here, I have to tell this,
Being born in the Hinduism doesn't mean, you can speak and boast around over.
Sometimes, accepting the facts and moving on is a way of dharma...
Don't act impulsive and spoil the image of Hinduism, such type cannot be classified as Hindu.
You haven't contributed any thing towards Hinduism..
So don't go around boosting just because you are born .
A real Hindu never comment impulsively and selflessly.
27:00 ganga river started contaminating after the dwapar yug end.. when lord Krishna left earth (ended avatar) and departed to vaikunth. It was the end of golden yug and last peaceful yug and starting of Kaliyug (today's current time) the worst and last yug. So many devi devtas including devi ganga returned or departed from earth just after the supreme lord Krishna ended his human Avatar.
The best way to describe Hinduism is 'a way of life'.
Btw Shiva can be "Ardhanareeshvara" i.e. a combination of three words “Ardha,” “Nari,” and “Ishwara” means “half,” “woman,” and “lord,” respectively, which when combined means the lord whose half is a woman. It is believed that the God is Lord Shiva and the woman part is his consort Goddess Parvati or Shakti.
Ganges river is far more cleaner now than it was 4-5 years ago, it is being cleaned regularly nowadays but it will still take decades to make sure people stop putting things into it, peoples mindset matters rather than govt policies itself.
Dharma is indeed our duty,the duty ever he man being...for a good person (king) to rule n guide his people in the right direction..for a guru(a teacher of texts) to guide his people into the direction of God's...an army leader to fight and protect their country and land....and so on...
22:46 its not make up they have a cosmic colour... Its like the colour of the night sky.
They all of different designs depending on the creator
It will be very difficult for someone who follows a religion that is so rigid (no offense) to understand Hinduism. We have things that are supposed be a certain way and practices that all of us follow but still hunduism is very liberal and let's you take your own path in finding god. Many old religions went extinct but Hinduism survived because of this reason I guess. There are so many ways and so many variations for everything in Hinduism because it is that much old and it's not possible for something to remain unchanged when it's thousands of years old. And there was no need also for Hinduism to be so rigid from the start because it was the oldest and no other religion was there that could have posed any threat to Hindu way of life.
Let’s go with your perception that Islam is rigid.
How does that prove/ disprove anything?
I dislike cancer yet it exists
The world itself is rigid to a certain degree, limited to possibilities by its design.
-Rohaib
@@MuslimMindsUS Limited possibilities is a old concept.
The whole concept of infinity that derives reality is endless and hence all things manifested from it.
Thus an endless way to reach the same infinity.
Your way is one way and not the only way. That's a big difference between Dharmic and Abhramic faiths.
@@MuslimMindsUS Mahabharata happened in real life we got so many proofs of it
Biggest is submerged Dwarka
Krishna was a historical figure
Hindu mythologies like Mahabharata and Ramayana were orally passed down until it was finally penned between 5th & 3rd century BCE.
The common consensus among hindu scholars is that these events happened in real life, but a lot got changed in various interpretation just like the Greek legends. Regardless the core message of these stories remain the same.
Books are authentic but nobudy reads them , vedas are written in very dificult sanskrit and if you remove 1 word from them than even a noob will correct it . But sadly nobud reads it people just follow their regional beliefs rather than reading vedas , gita etc
Interesting, thanks Pranav for the comment!

I've read the Rig veda. It's not as interesting as other scriptures and holy books I've read. You should try it. It's surprisingly shallow. There's a reason so many people know the Gita but don't care about the Vedas.
@@Thindorama yes its too much elebrate
about the ganga river the govt is working on it to clean the river but the efficiency of the program is very low as you can see. not just River ganga is sacred to us but hindus are most likely entire nature is god to us and we should behave/treat nature with respect.
Look boys / friends ,,, the Brahman mentioned this video ( we pronounce as brambh ) is said to be something both inside this universe and yet outside of this universe. May be confusing for non believers ,,, in particular if the want to mock things ,, But let me tell you Brambh can't be understood without divine intervention
26:26 - Not lots of Gods, but God (Brahman) can be worshipped in any manner you wish or way you like. So, like how a river may take different paths to join the ocean, the way of worship too is just the path taken.
So, there are 33 koti devtas in Hinduism (33 types in which God manifests himself).
I respect everyone's decisions and their way of thinking. But i think most of us are concentrating more on the theories and finctional concepts instead of understanding them.
Hindus pray to rivers because they are the sources for human livelihood. Hindus respect nature and everything comes from it. That's why they pray to trees, mountains, sun, water, fire, wind, land etc.
Hindu is not a person its actually the geographical location.
Have you ever thought why most of the rulers from other regions want to invade india (Akhand Bharath) its because of its nature and environment.
I think the Feminine faces are so because no body actually knows how these gods looked like. Yeah sure we know the supposed bodily features in which they blessed their devotees but we don't know what their face looked like. So artists just went with a middle way where the faces will be feminine on male's body. Also the depictions throughout history stayed same from one artist copying another. Today if u go to a local market in India and buy a portrait of a god, almost all of the potraits of the same god will look exactly identical in everything. Because the artists generally don't care about the facial features as long as it looks pretty. Also the lipstick is probably a modern addition as I don't think lipsticks existed in older times. Or may be men also used lipstick in older times and thus the older artists also gave it to the potraits of the gods.
It's a river and the water is not still it keeps moving so germs and bacterial formation is easy but yeah it should get cleaned up if it's so sacred
I see you guys were thinking how is shivas picture a he, shiva has various forms, the one you looked at is his most peaceful and beautiful form. If you ever get to see him as kalabhairava as your soul will leave your body just by that visual.
Yes Ganges is polluted but has improved in past few decades. Yes the government and non-profits have poured in billions of dollars to clean it, like Namami Gange program etc but India is still developing and things take time. Also ppl are quite ignorant of how they are polluting it so lots of things contribute.
Also appreciate your effort in understanding such aspects of different cultures
4:42 the real translation is Brahm(brahman) Brahm have 2 meaning one is illusion and second is the god material which makes up the universe and is the universe and the god. Its confusing to make someone understand like god resist in everything. Still he created someone semi gods to operate the world. Trinity :
Creator : Brahma who have power given by brahm to create things.
Preserver : preserves
Destroyer : destroys
Noone worship creator (except some) because he god cursed by shiva.
The creator destroyer amd preserver in this universe is limited but in multiverse there's the supreme preserver and destroyer. Sada shiv and Narayan vishnu and that supreme vishnu creates brahma for every small universe.
"Bhram" means Illusion whereas "Brahman" is used to refer to the concept of the ultimate reality that manifests as the spiritual and material realms.
1:00 your best line ❤❤ culture +religion
The Brahman is the sea and you’ve a drop of him in you , you aren’t god but you’ve a drop of him inside you
Bro if you study bhagwat gita then you know what kind of hindu dharma. If you just read first page you will starting to know.
Manusmriti was written in 5th century BC, but it was only implemented by hindu kingdoms in 3rd century AD
Travelling accounts even from 11th century AD doesn't mention any untouchables or caste discrimination.
Large History - yes it's when Earth born .
River Ganga is Sister of Devi Parvati and where her 1st Son Kartikeya also known as Murgan Swami was about to born in that time
The Energy Of Lasya Tandav
(Tandav is cosmic dance of Shiva & Parvati - that dance have 2 types 1 - Lasya Tandav - dance of love and Rudra Tandav - dance of destruction) and it is also performed by lord Ganesha & Lord Krishna )
So while the dancing the God of Fire Aagni was there hiding & watching
In Sanatan Dharma Everything happened for reason
The Birth of Kartikeya is have another reason to kill a demon king Tarakasur ( that's Ancestors of Peaceful community - I said truth and sorry if you are offended)
The Energy of Lasya Tandav - is blast to Indra and Agni by Lord Shiva as they both are disturbing their privacy
And that energy was so powerful that they both can't contain themselves
So the they dropped and it goes to River Goddess Ganga (it's not pranounce Gun jes - Ga n ga hmm example hope you know Lady gaga just add n in Gaga - Ga n Ga - गंगा ) and she also dropped the energy in her River water so the Goddess Parvati wife of Lord Shiva was angry and furious
So she Curse Agni & Ganga
That Agni will burn Everything when it comes anything and Goddesses Ganga will be Dirty forever till the end of time .
And no one will able clean her
But as Agni & Ganga told Goddess Parvati that the energy was so powerful as it is part of two Powerful God n Goddess from the Trinity God Trinity Goddesses
So Parvati gave them Boon
Who ever do give Agni offering that Person will get blessings of Trinity God n Goddesses
And for Ganga - whoever bath in Ganga that person sins will be wash away & if a person ashes dropped in Ganga then the Person will be free from Birth Death cycle
River Ganga is none other than
The Water of Mecca .
You will not believe that but time will tell
N yes that's truth n it's bitter
N m sorry for telling it coz some people don't like
But m doing my Dharma
N one more thing I want to tell you
As you are a Muslim
The all Muslim countries
Will fight with each other
So soon that's prophecy .
Narayan Narayan.
Parvati and sati they are same godess but in diffrent human form. Ram is a musculin figur, but for krishna its hard to tell becaus its says that he attracts everything toward him due to his beauty and his cute nature. Caste is changable .
Mahabharata and Ramayana are not fiction they are "ithihasasa" meaning HISTORY.
Subscribed done🇮🇳
Dharma can not be translated into English exactly but the closest that you can get is purpose of what you are born to do and it's not dependent on the caste but the work you are good at and second is do your work with truth and righteousness and without harming any one or any thing
These aren't just stories and to prove my point i would like to mention that international aqua archeologists have found the drowned city of dwarika which is mentioned in bhagwat geeta when ganghari the queen of hastinapur coursed lord krishna
It is scientifically proven that the rive Ganges has a special kind of bacteria which rejuvenates that river which are not find in any other river.... I personally thunk that Hindu people were very much more scientifically developed but the transfer of knowledge was poor... so we must read these texts with a scientific perspective as many info.. on our texts are written metaphorically rather than literally....
Ganga action plan is going on in full swing.... Ganga is clean now....... Government is making every effort to keep it holy..... Unfortunately the previous Congress government did nothing....
