I cannot believe how disrespectful and uneducated I was about indian culture, I love this great teacher, I begin a new path.
You should know the Indian Culture more..🌷😊 this culture is 'art of living' 200%.(100% spiritual n 100% material)
I welcome you🇮🇳😊🙏🏻
@adambailey8295. Don't feel disheartened for not knowing. I bet you more than 90% of Indians/Hindus wouldn't know it either. We do lot of things without knowing the symbolism behind the action. Like for example going to temple, doing namaste and touching feet or putting Tika on the forehead. The culture is rich in symbolism however appropriate knowledge hasn't been passed down to the generations. That's why precious talk like these are also helps us to educate and understand the things that we do. Indian culture adheres to the respect of the elders and room for questioning and enquiring isn't encouraged , hence you just follow the protocols without knowing the reason behind the protocols. It's ok, we cannot know everything and we all learn and grow with the passage of time. My namaskaram to you...
@@nc01sadhthankyou, I send much love and gratitude.
Missing my great Guru Swami Chinmayananda bcz of whom I am what today n may his blessings pour on me for ever.🙏
You are not alone brother 😅
I nearly died laughing. He had amazing sense of Humour :D
The funny thing is that what he is saying is totally true, the hand-shake is a relic from checking for weapons ^^
So is salute 😂
Pranamam, Gurudev. How fantastically Swami ji explains the principles behind the greeting methods of various people & compare them with our "Namaste". In today's world of Corona virus, the world has started realizing the eternal nature of Hindu living & have started adopting our ways!! Let us know & adopt our ancient ways.
we need more like you swami ji
His invocation of the Divinity in you through Elocution is unsurpassable!
What a amazing 5 minutes !
Excellent 😀😀😀😀😂😂
swami ji we love u...
This video is such a classic 😂, proud to be Hindu ❤️🙏
Beautiful explanation. Enjoy the humor
What an orator. No wonder the Mission has spread far and wide. Extremely lucky are those who have attended Swami's lectures in Person.
Thank you GURUDEV .
Master Teacher
This guy is a great sit down comedian!!!!
Hello frank this great man is not comedian ..Thru humour he is giving a very valuable lesson so that it gets imbibe easily
And he is called second Vivekananda, hope whole West knows who he was.
Jai Jai
swami ji you really nailed it....
धन्यवाद ।
A lesson added humor.. I love such lesson and such teacher 😇
Even striking wine glasses before drinking assured them that it is not poisoned. Let us live lovingly without such mental burdens. There is enough for each one on this planet.
Immense & very profound talk by Master. Thanks alot

awesome swamiji
Ancient, certainly were "Be - for" Us!!!Unity in Diversity - you and me are same (within me, like my left & right palm together on my Heart) but (without) keep Distance as I Re - Spect (look again with awe, the Difference in us). Heart is where we meet to exchange but separated by heart valves! Then we go separate (circulates in body) to Nourish & Renew our worlds (organs / Society).
Love you Swami ji
Wow!
Very inspiring
Sadhguru reminds of him.. Bow to you chinmayanand swami ji

My sister in law taught me a painful lesson for taking blessings from elders in the wrong way. Once I had visited her house with my wife. A person who's much older than me too had come there. While he was about to leave the place he was standing at the entrance. I bent and touched his feet with my hands to receive his blessings. My sister in law gave me one hard whack on my left bum with her hand and scolded me stating that one should NEVER take blessings from someone at the entrance of a place. My bum was punctured for a whole day and that pain made sure that i always remember how to take blessings from elders in the right way.
Why i felt that story of hello is correct..
it is a true historical assesment, this man knows his history ^^
Hilarious!!
From where does he get these ideas????
Funny!!
Amazing!!
Stupid!!
Loved it!!
He is not definitely getting from anybody. All the thoughts are conceived by him alone. That means he apprehend by reason or imagination. That is it.
"Mandakolathur Subramanian"
Get lost you fools
I don't belive that all he said is true but it's funny. Laughed hard
The handshake part is true
If I don't admire the idea that one stands for then one need not touch others feet.
Can an elder touch the youngers feet for the mentioned reason?
😂😂😂😂😂guruji
😢
Hilarious
😂😂😂
Handshake mean that when you're down and under, I will pick you up and no questions ask.
Is it true or he is making his own theories? I'm not against him just want to know the truth.
Whatever he is saying is true, you can google it
Doesn't matter....he conveys something else...people laugh without costing any1's respect
haha
is this sit up comedy show
barbarian
Do people really take this clown seriously ? God save India !
Arun Shankar S when I read ur comment.. I feel pity for your conscience.. Such a low consciousness!
Bro, one lecture he said, "I am not worried about you listening or not, I am just doing my duty without expecting benefits". Your immature comment does not harm his reputation. God save India from people like you!
Arun Shankar S . Respect brother.. respect..if not anything else..
God save India. Remove smart ass Dumbo like Arun from this holy land.
Arun Shankar S People go to see a guru or so called holy man because they think he or she has something they havn't got,but they are already everything that exists.
