India is the ONLY country which did not convert despite the occupation of 900 years. every other region from Europe, to Africa, to Persia, to Americas fell under the brute force of the invaders or missionaries.
Because all other civilizations were part and parcel of sanatana Dharma, Europeans and Islam couldn't remove the roots which existed strongly in bharat
But due to today's rapid demographics change and liberal Hindus, sanatana Dharma root is also getting chopped
India is critical due to change in demography safe heaven for radicals are increasing on top of appeasement and socialist political rules are threats to even your freedom of speech let alone your religion...
@@Sanjeev4700no that was before i think it is still deconstructed and still primitive but it’s reviving itself more and more young people like me have started look at our own dharma,doing daily Pooja atleast like Gayatri mantra or hanuman chalisa.
Don't get too carried away, they are unable to invade us NOT YET. Afghanistan gone in the 1200s-1300s, Burma 1935, Pakistan & Bangladesh 1947; Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya are done (no Hindus left); Kerala, West Bengal, Assam are on their way.

Hi friend! How are you and are there any temples or Hindu organisations in the Carribbean? Jai Shree Ram!👍❤️🇮🇳🕉️
As an Indian Hindu who grew up in Trinidad….highly recommend Indian Hindu parents visit Trinidad to see how to raise kids rooted in Sanatan Dharma while being connected to a global world.
Sanatana Dharma not sanatan dharma
@@fact5832it's Sanãtan. Not Sanatana. Satya Sanãtan

I don't have time to educate malechas like you... Get well soon..
Would definitely visit one day
*I am from India but my wife is from Guyana*
India should active engagement with Hindus of Carribean, Fiji, Malaysian Hindus, Indonesian Hindus, everywhere else on earth
Yes
Correct ....this is the need of hour ....I strongly recommend that all Hindus all over the world while respecting the diversity according to regional differences must unite .
Ageee
🙏❤❤👌
We Hindus in Bharat are so easily divided on caste. See what happened in UP in the recently concluded elections. Honestly when will Hindus just identify themselves as one
RESPECT. You people only deserve RESPECT from the rest of us.
💯💪🏼
As a caribbean sister from Puerto Rico, a small island that is still a US territory, we all share the same atrocious background from colonization. Colonization was the death cause of all of our ancestry. My first experiences with Yoga back in 1992 were with a Hindu teacher from Trinidad and Tobago. We are all connected in one way or another!
It's dark mark on our history and I agree that we are all connected.
Yes ,sister ♥️
Brave hindus who stood for their religion and didn't surrender to force or favor. Kudos.
From a Hindu born in India living in the US…proud of my Hindu brothers and sisters around the world who proudly practicing and teaching their children the values of sanatana dharma 🔱🕉️🙏
We will remain Hindu today and tomorrow.... Be proud to be Hinduvand completely surrender to God and believe me get ready to experience miracles.... Jai Shri Krishna.... A proud Hindu 🕉️🕉️🕉️
🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️♥️♥️♥️
Malaysian Hindus too , despite being minority in Islamic county… We are proud HINDUS

Respected brother, I send you my heartfelt blessings. Our struggles and sufferings indeed strengthen our faith, and I can relate to your experience with your father. My late father always did puja early in the morning after his night shift. Even now, at the age of 83, my mother continues to perform puja every morning, despite living alone. These challenges and hardships have instilled in us a deep appreciation for our culture and the sacrifices our parents have made to provide us with a better life. Aum Shanti 🙏🏾
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Jai Shri Ram🚩🙏
Hii brother...im a hindu from India. I absolutely love ur work 🧡
I would just like to request u and provide new content ideas for you...
There is a temple town in India named Tirumala which has a lot of spiritual significance for hindus and is one of the wealthiest and most visited holy sites in the world...unfortunetly western media does not give enough attention to it....this is a humble request to you asking to make a video on it....
Plzz do reply
Thank u
Jai shree ram 🚩
What you're saying is right. As a Hindu Trini Canadian, I do have some family that coverted to other religions. I believe it was because of ignorance. It was their lack of knowledge of the scriptures, aswell as their lack of Sadhana that made them convert. They never witnessed the beauty of Sanatan Dharma, which is sad
A story of grit and endurance, something that should have been mainstreamed way earlier .
💯💯
rise hindus be united
We don't need reasons. We just survive, as we did for the last 7000+ years, and we will for the next thousands of years. 🕉
Thanks for the comment. I don't agree with your views as we need to be aware.
Many hindus in Trinidad including my wife have this same attitude. This is like the ostrich sticking its head in the sand.
While there have been resurgence a couple of times in the last 2 to 3 thousand years the trend of hindu population is definitely downwards.
you never tried to covert anyone but everyone try to convert you...but still you didn't leave your roots..you nri hindus are legends...we will rise again and the world will rise with us....only compassion and love will rule the world not hatred
Let's go hindus future belongs to us ❤
I'm a Hindu. I perform daily Puja. For me, no one is our bigger enemy than ego and self criticism. We should simply accept ourselves and live the way we are. As we know, the world is Maya, nothing matters more than self-awareness. For spiritual reasons, let's not make anyone our enemy, as negative emotions affect our own self also.
So, was it spiritually wrong for Shri Krishna to convince Arjuna to see his cousins and his gurus and other members of this family as enemies in the war?
@@GauravAgarwalR That was his Dharma. The opponent in the war is enemy, but that is limited to warzone only. Lord Krishna didn't ask Arjun to hate Pitamah, he just motivated him to face him like any other war enemy. Live a life without considering anyone enemy, se how easier it is
You should read Quran for Shatru-bodh or atleast observe their behaviour.
@@AgniveshArya I actually don't care about them, and why on earth should I read Qur'an? I'm a Hindu. My religion is introspective, it doesn't need to criticize others to make itself strong,
@@ShivanshuTyagi72981 but they care about you. Extraordinary care of you.
Naman to your ancestors 🙏🙏
Very proud of our long lost Sanatani brothers and sisters
sending love and greeting to fellow Hindu from the Indian himalayas.
HInduism is sanatan aka ETERNAL.
Cults are temporary, TRUTH and Philosophy is eternal
Yup.
No ism for us - it's dharma - lifestyle
Yes I have started daily Puja.. reading Hanuman chalisa, offering water to Surya Dev. We are our biggest enemy. We need to make a balance between our every sect ... Need to learn and understand the Parambharam 🕉️🌸. And we need to read and learn our Vedic culture, Vedic vedanta philosophy in simple language. We need to learn Sanskrit, mother language and English to spread the knowledge and to communicate
Thanks for constructing these educational videos. Majority of the Indian people in the Caribbean are not preserving their religion or tradition leading to culture erasure. Also Bollywood is not setting any good example since they are completely westernized now.
Yes it's a huge problem that needs addressing
The Culture in these islands have dwindled as each generation emerges. It wasn't so in the 80's and 90's. These Indians need to remember their ethics and values.
Bollywood of Mumbai and Tollywood of South India are mostly run and controlled by anti-Hindus , terrorists and drug mafia .....hence Hinduism is depicted negatively .
@@sumirsookdeo9443I heard that even racial mixing is a big problem for the preservation of Indian origin Hindus and Muslims in Carrebia.. They are forced, brainwashed, and guilt-trapped by the African men to mix with them. Indians are often called racists for not marrying within their own.

Hinduism is the way of life
Keeping doing the great work
The prayers of my ancestors pay results not only Carribbean but in British colony, like myself in Malaysia and Singapore. That's what my ancestors does every day even with hard circumstances, they only prey for their god they believe, we are still Hindus, pujas is daily in my house like what my ancestors did. Nothing can change ❤❤
just to add another point in the are we going to remain Hindu.........Are the Hindus going to their local temples. Supporting the local temple is very imp. Have a visit dont do anything special just sit there for 5 to 10 min and go back home a simple puja would enough.
Yes we are. You are saying that because youth doesn't go to temples. Don't worry, as Gen-Z ages, you'll see more gen-Z into temples. It's just that emotions of youth are endulged very much into material world.
Problem I see is my generation (millennials) - don't know where they disappeared to
@@HinduLifestyle....Bro ,they will be back ....yours is a genuine divine call .May God bless you ...Jai Sree Ram.
Amazing! Love from Bharath!🎉

True. Open nature of Hinduism and not an organized religion helps in easy adaptation to new environment
We, the Hindus of Bharat, salute your SPIRIT !
LONG LIVE HINDUISM AND HINDUS !!

Love You Brother (from India)
Thanks for shouting out Fiji bro lots of people dont know the pacific has a similar history as the caribbean when it comes to having indians there 🙌💯
Namaste Brother 🙏❤😇
I am from land of native Hindus ie Bharat , Out standing analysis. Hindus should have Shatrubodh and Swayambhodh to preserve our identity. We are facing continuous attacks on our identity all over the world especially from later versions of Abrahamic faiths of west Asia. Do such videos more as you have very good tone and tonality of native English speakers.This traits makes your reach and access to International English speaking audience easy.
AWESOME VID SHAWN!
Thank your always for your support!
Great insights! It’s inspiring how Hindu traditions thrived despite challenges. The resilience of our ancestors is truly commendable. Thanks for sharing these powerful reasons! #ProudHindu #IndoCaribbean
Jay shree ram brother stay connected to roots ❤
Right on 👍🏻
Collaboration, connection, correction is the ultimate way to survival of Hindus.
Jai Sri Ram 🚩🙏🚩
This is the message that needs spreading
Awareness raised by good folks such as yourself and bringing discourse of Hindu struggles into mainstream consciousness in all our communities worldwide is essential. Thank you for doing your part. Subscribed!
Thanks 🙏🏽💪🏼❤️
Truly RESPECT you and all Sanatanis preserving and honoring tradition around the world!
Daily 108 times Gayatri Mantra, Hanuman Chalisa and Hare Krishna Hare Rama.
Jai Sri Krishna
Bro ,Hinduism is both monotheistic and polytheistic in nature ....so let the Hindus decide what God or Goddess to worship or which mantra to recite .... if we like Abrahamic religions dictate our folk ....it maybe counter productive ....as for myself I recite Gayatri mantra while taking bath .🙏
Your message and sincerity made me emotional. Namaste and Pranaams.
Clear and Concise, really appreciate Shaun.

Spot on Shawn 👍

Thanks for sharing. I've been struggling in Canada even being first generation Indian to share culture with my kids.
What city are you in?
@@HinduLifestyle, Toronto! I believe, I've to work on Shatruboth. Of course, I'm in School Council as co-chair and TDSB Hindu Heritage Month Committee as a member. However, due to companies my kids keep affect them, over which I've no control. However, I do all other things and ask my kids to do Pooja in my absence.
@@hemantpanchpor do you attend any Mandir regularly? Kids need to make friends in temples to keep them involved. It's a complex process but I have lived through it. Different approaches are needed living in Canada
@@hemantpanchpor My wife and I conduct Baal Vikaas classes at the Jai Durga Hindu Society in Scarborough from 1030am to 11:30am - we are wrapping up for this year but if interested send me an email: sb@shawnbinda.com
It's bittersweet to hear about Hindu taken into indentured servitude into the Caribbean, nevermore to see their loved ones in India again. Bitter thinking of their loses, but sweet seeing their tenacity in face of hardship. Keeping the faith and bhakti alive half way around the world.
U sure give us points to think...
I really appreciate and supporter of ur work..
According to me -shatrubodh is most important.most hindu lacks...second converts and liberals/left ideology.../

Watching you from Jharkhand a state of india
Love from India, i personally know families living in the Netherlands whose ancestors were taken to suriname, before I met them I had no idea that there were so many families who went through so much. What most beautiful is that some of them still spoke( especially a generation before) their native language similar to Maithili
Great video Lad 🙌🏼😊
I had friend whome I met on Sky colt online who was from trinidad she didn't know she has a indian ancistory, but I found when she said her fathers name is Devendra Narayan XD. I really love when she said people there also celebrate festivals like Diwali and Navaratri 💖🥰
Encourage her .🙏🙏🙏
