Preserving Our Hindu Tradition | A Perspective from a Hindu born outside of India

- It's 2018. Times have changed. How are we going to maintain the Hindu tradition?
If you are like myself you probably wondered every so often -- what does the future hold for Hinduism? Living in a country where Hinduism is not the predominant religion or way of life means that there is a chance --however small -- that our tradition and culture could eventually fade away and become a distant memory.
Its easy to sit down and blame the world for your troubles and to be fair Hinduism has been attacked for thousands of years. But today, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself -- what am I doing to maintain the Hindu tradition?
In order to keep the Hindu tradition alive, we need to be an ACTIVE particpant in Hindu activities as well as the Hindu community. It's easy to sit in front of your computer clicking all day. Real work begins when you get out of your comfort zone. When you dedicate your life to a cause. When you do ACTUAL work.
Thank you to Pandit Rajin Balgobind Ji for a week of Bhakti and Gyaan. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Amazing Shawn!! As is expected from you. You are an asset to Hinduism today. I will take your message very seriously.
You are a true Hindu
जय श्रीराम
Jai Shree Ram
What do i say bhaiya? You completely hit the nail on the head. According to the Ramcharitmanas it says we blame everyone, time, place, circumstance and even Hari for our shortcomings but we ought to know that we are the ones who cause pain and pleasure upon ourselves. Wonderfully done! Bhagwan's blessings...
Devotee of Maa kali here 🙏
Ram ram bhai ji
Dipak bhai Gupta; good to hear the greeting. According to Valmiki Ramayana Sri Ram flew out from Ayodhya for Lanka of a bird, Jaitayue.
I wonder if you have ever seen anyone flying on a bird. NO, There is no bird that can carry a passenger even across the street. Nor a passenger could be secured to prevent sliding down during ascend and topple over during the flight as birds tilt and flip in flight. Pawan Putra Hanuman without wings flew across India carrying a parvat. Can you name anything that flies without wings? NO, Everything that flies from butterfly to puspak viman has two wings. Mariach transformed into a deer to lure Sita. Have ever heard of such transformation. YES. In fairytales like Alice in Wonderland and a princes kissing a frog to transform it into a prince to marry. How desperate? Dipak bhai, Ramayana is a fable. Ram is a FICTIONAL and FLAWED character in the fable Ramayana who murders Ravana and Khubhakaran and asks Sita, mother of his two sons Luv and Kush to undertake morally reprehensible Agno Pariksa to prove her sexual fidelity as if sexual purity would have made her and any other women in the World FIREPROOF. Was ram also a stupid misogynist and a double murderer. Guptaji, think with an open and critical mindset not simply repeat what has been brainwashed in yo by your parents and reinforced by the Hindu Samaj. Truth is bitter but the truth willset you fre. Satyemeva Jayete.
Prosanto Mukerji lmao communist bengali spotted 😂😂
Prosanto Mukerji convert to Islam, your mamta begum will help you

Prasanto Mukherjee I don't know which Valmiki Ramayana you are reading? Either you are a drug addict or you are reading Qur'an instead of Ramayana 😂🤣
Rama never rode over jatayu. Jatayu was like a Father to Rama in Dandakaranya. He also tried to protect Seeta from Ravana, but martyred in the process.
So don't smoke ganja and read Ramayana, it would be beneficial.
Salute to you brother, thanks for enlighten us about Hindu Values. I am really impressed with your authentication & truthfulness. Love from India.
Great job my dear friend....
U are absolutely true shawn...
Excellent video. Very inspirational!
Keep it up my lil brother love frm INDIA..!!!
A very nice & simple video on how to live a Hindu life!!!
Proud of you, Shawn! May the positive energy from you flood the world!
Thank you for sharing Shawn! I feel so blessed to have found you on CZcams! Only recently started connecting with my Trini Hindu heritage..Can you recommend some Mandirs in CT or NY that Trini Hindus attend?..Where knowing very little (but eager to reconnect) will be embraced? Thank you my brother:)
Jai ho. My wife is Guyanese so I am also involved in the Guyanese community. If you are in New York, Pandit Rajin Balgobind is reading a Yagna at the NY Milan Mandir in Queens.
NY is my next state over and Queens is 2 hrs from where I live, but I will look into his teachings/following. Thank you for responding and KEEP doing what you're doing! Jai Shri Ram!!
Hari bol!
I attended katha at your temple for 2 of those nights ! :)
Awesome!
It was wonderful, thank you for organizing and please continue to organize many more!
I do japa on a daily basis brother!
Thats what I like to hear
Can you make a video on the relation between Canadian Hindus and Canadian Christians?
A very appropriate question! Even i ask the same question to myself and others too.
Great job Shawn, I am based in Edmonton, Alberta and would like to connect with you.
great work on your site
I am going to be moving to Canada next May to pursue further education, and honestly the one thing that scared me was that I'd lose my identity as a Hindu. I have been raised in a fairly religious household with my father being the most devoted. He taught me and my younger brother a number of rituals and shlokas that we would recite everyday. I am absolutely in love with my dharma, and wouldn't forfeit it for the world. But what about when I am not surrounded by like minded people? Will I slowly become another social media Hindu? Thoughts like these really haunt me. But then I see people like you Shawn, and I feel really hopeful that maybe, just maybe there's hope for Hinduism to survive outside its sacred birthplace. Thank you for giving me this confidence. I hope I can make my contributions and remain a true Hindu.
Dharma ki jai ho; Adharma ka nash ho!
Hay man

Hi, shawn , your are absolutely right in order to present our culture . In fact I am too try to bring out culture in to practice ..Took initiative as well . Because sanatan culture is only possible ways to survive in future . Kudos.to you.
I'm share your video for hinduism
Love you brother
shiva devotee here
This guy is very enthusiastic about our culture.
Jai sree krishna
you need more subscribers.. amazing work..
In due time..thank you for sharing!
please visit India once 😊😊
Very well put together video with concise arguments.
I do Yoga every morning and attend Ram Katha and Bhagwat Katha whenever it is organized in my town. It fills me with positive energy and I feel pious from inside. Shawn do you understand Hindi bhajans or sanskrit chants? I think you might feel a bit uncomfortable so are you learning Hindi? Jai Shri Ram 🚩🚩🚩🚩.
Bhai ji, we don't know Hindi but still sing bhajans and Kirtans. We know Sanskrit Mantras and many Pandits can read fluently
Amazing!
I love Ganesh and kaali mata
Thank you brother.
Wow Nailed it!
Love 😍
Hai shawn , You are doing great job to teach and clarify Hinduism. It would be good if you end the video with Shanti...Shanti...Shanti. as you know, since we believe Adhi bouthika, Adhi daivika and Aadhyamika peace. It is just a suggestion.
Ahhhh! Social media Hindus!!! So true!!
Another great video; what are some initiatives to get involved with?
Rajiv Malhotra is probably the most important
Subscribe Rajiv Malhotra's youtube channel...he is also doing a great in preserving iyr culture.
In the Caribbean
Hinduism always finds a way. Whatever the odds, Hinduism shall survive, thrive & flourish. The greatest asset of Hinduism is the space & freedom of thought it offers it's followers.
Can you make video series that teaches hinduism in simple english . .? You can learn more from pt education
That's a pretty big job. Have you read Hinduism Today magazine?
Could you maybe go into more detail about the differences between Hinduism in the West Indies vs contemporary Hinduism in India? I'm personally fascinated by Creole traditions, but West Indian Hinduism is one I can't find much on. Authors note there are differences, but no one seems to go into detail.
Did you see my other video czcams.com/video/hVCwd9M6VZw/video.html
I hadn't. Thank you!

I’m a black Hindu so it’s hard
The thing is with Hindu dis-uniformity. Unlike Islam and to a lesser extent, Christianity, Hindi rituals and Hindu things differ widely from one community to other. I as a Bengali Hindu, I might not be drawn towards Bhagwath Katha performed in a predominantly Gujarati Hindu community
I don't miss your videos. Yes we have become social media Hindus. In my case I think it is important reason being to check sickulars Hindus. Who unknowingly become anti Sanatan Dharma.
Is this youtuber many any more videos.
I dont see anything new.
Hi Shawn! I like your videos and your passion for preserving Sanathan Dharma!! I heard in one of your videos that you needed volunteers to tell abt Hinduism to young kids/ adults in Canada. Pls contact me if you are interested.I live in the USA originally from Chennai, India!!
@Hindu Lifestyle Is it true you guys have 33million gods
This is a little bit of a loaded question so I will probably do a video on this later
Hinduism offers nothing beyond death but Jesus Christ came to give us eternal life freely. So start reading the gospels yourself which will save you from hell. Man has made his own gods and Lucifer has decieved us from the olden days.
I'm a newbie subscriber. Would like to reach you out personally via email?? I have been very curious about the criticism faced by me and the questions I have in mind.
You can find me on Facebook
Brother you must convert to a monotheistic religion. Sikhism goes totally against Hinduism as we don’t do idol worship but worship the one god . Don’t even want to go to mahatma Gandhi. The Sikh gurus are the truth as even the wise Muslim sheiks and Saudis regarded them as god like men
That is your opinion. I am happy with my own beliefs
Ahhhh! Social media Hindus!!! So true!!
Yup.. Thats the name for them
