Hindu Nectar: Spiritual Wanderings in India (Full Movie)
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 09. 2014
- A daughter’s journey distilling the nectar of the stories and songs she heard as a child. Weaving ancient texts in the fabric of modern life. Rediscovering the land of her childhood, absorbed from her mother, where religion was synonymous with the celebration of life, in all its colours. Journeying from the Himalayas to the Peninsular India, through rivers, mountains, forests, caves. She meets many practitioners. Each conversation reveals unfathomable depths to seemingly simple rituals she inherited. The nature of life. Why we are born? Why we die? What is change? And what amidst Life’s constant flux is the One.... constant, unchanging, unmoving?
This cinematic journey creates an experimental rendering of one of the Earth’s oldest spiritual traditions. Come. Wander. Experience.
NAMASKAR from COLOMBIA. I saw this documentary in 2018 before embarking on my epic spiritual wandering sojourn to INDIA in February 2019. I just finished watching it for the second time. REALLY NEEDED TO SE IT AGAIN. Dhanayavad. Shubkamnae! 🧡🤍💚🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉 JAI BHOLE KI!
JAI HIND!
When you spiritually begin to awaken where do you look, to India of course.
Ofcourse Bharat
Yeah of course as long as you like your gods that you worship have these characteristics!!!!
Reply to this then.
Yes, that's right. Hindu "gods" rape women according to Hindu
scriptures. One must ask, how can someone worship these "gods" even
though they raped women? I'd certainly lynch these criminals if they
were around now in these times. Here are quotes taken from the Hindus
"divine" scriptures:
"One day the sage Atri was performing tapas with his wife Anasuya.
Brahma, Visnu, and Siva came and offered him a boon, but Atri remained
silent, meditating. Then the three gods went to Anasuya. Siva had his
linga in his hand, Visnu was full of erotic feeling, and Brahma was
beside himself with desire, saying to Anasuya, 'Make love with me or I
will die.' When she heard this coarse speech, Anasuya made no reply,
for, although she feared the anger of the gods, she was true to her
husband. But they were overcome with delusion, and they raped her by
force. Then she became angry and she cursed Siva to be worshipped as a
linga, Brahma to be worshipped in the form of a head, and Visnu to be
worshipped as feet, in order to ridicule them all, and she cursed them
all to be reborn as her sons. Because of this, Siva was reborn as
Durvasas." -- Bhavisya Purana 3:4:17:67-78.
"Formerly the gods lusted for Gautama's wife and raped her, for their
wits were destroyed by lust. Then they were terrified and went to the
sage Durvasas [an incarnation of Siva], who said, 'I will remove all
your defilements with the Satarudriya Mantra [an ancient Saiva
prayer].' Then he gave them ashes which they smeared upon their
bodies, and their sins were shaken off." -- Padma Purana 4:101:174-9.
".... Indra raped Ahalya and was cursed by her husband, the sage
Gautama, to lose all his prosperity ...." -- Brahmavaivarta Purana
4:47:11-45.
Definitely.
Good luck in hell
Lol good luck kissing satans ass in hell
When I met an Indian Master 3 years ago my life changed! I was blessed with Shaktipat and discovered a divinity within myself that completely altered my perception of the world! My new name is now Sanatan! To quote Swamiji 'You have forgotten who you are!' Not anymore! xxxxxxxx
Very interesting. Would be happy to meet and know more.
@@ankitshah3451 I am always happy to meet new people, but live in Spain! Where is your location?
@@sanatandharma4435 I live in India. 😀
@@sanatandharma4435 what do you mean by discovered divinity withing myself ? can you explain bit
@@jidrit999The answer is available at 7:20 hours
Hinduism is not a religion its spirituality, its a thought, its a way of life, its more than what we can think! Swami Satyananda is right, India is not just a nation, it's mother. If you want to experience that love come to India.
I have visited over 40 countries, never got that peace and satisfaction what i feel in lap of mother India. Thank you India. You are the heart of the world.
Every man or woman has that Universal Love & Joy deep within in de core of his being. Find it, unveil it, perceive it, observe it, learn to become it. The stillness in de movement, de universe in de Self, de ever-changing in de unchanging, still 'n pure infinite unlimited space within called ones ever- present, ever-lasting, ever -pure Consciousness.

I'm so blessed that I'm a part of this "Lighthouse of the World"
#VishwaGuru BHARAT
I came to this film in an almost turbulent state of mind. Within a few minutes, I began to feel a little calmer. Shortly after, I felt peace. A film lifting a person from a negative to a positive state of mind can only be termed a success. Akanksha, the very experience of watching your film has been peaceful. And I have yet to complete watching it. I would call your tribute to your parents a prayer. God bless.
nice
this is so beautiful. very poetic, deep and true. it is a great tribute to the vedic teachings and culture, and as such, a great healing balm for the world. everyone should see it. thank you, akanksha.
congratulations. it is a beautiful film. we are honored to be part of something so fine, so holy, so deep. thank you!
@@LauraPlumb correct
Can I give you a virtual hug Akansha, I have wept with joy. Now husband watching with moist eyes. He wants to gift this to his American colleagues. Bless you dear fellow traveller. Proud to walk my planet beside you. Ommm
+Akanksha “Damini” Joshi : I never seen anything as beautiful as this on Sanatana Dharma. Thanks for this. It's not doubt the nectar of Hinduism.
That old man is swimming in an ocean of transcendental wisdom.
2nd time watching...I can't wait to return "home" again one day! Such a beautiful, spiritual place. I ❤ India!
True Hindu Nectar! Grateful!!!
Very beautiful film, i have taken the first baby steps on the path of Dharma. I read and listen to the Vedas when i can and i feel some kind of truth beckoning me.
The old man with thinning white hair really impressed me.
finally i found a highest possible reason to be proud of my country. for it is birth place of vedas, sanathana dharma, yoga , yogis .
Also birth place of caste system
This is beautiful, this is what i came here for to listen to. I grew up with not many stories told to me in America, but the richness of India, and her stories draw me, as well as her wisdom. I love this, thank you for sharing with us.
best documentary on Hinduism..great work..aum nama sivaya
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen.....sai ram..may all find true purpose..
Having been born, studied, traveled and experienced a lot in India for the last 23 years during this lifetime , I have only one phrase to describe 'life' in my country : " Meaningful Chaos ". I have seen more " wise " people on the streets of my country than in the corridors of prestigious universities. This video is probably the only one of it's kind because it brings out the very essence of the vedic wisdom without getting entangled in the details. I really cannot believe that someone has actually pulled it off so beautifully. Hats off to the team. Hope life will take you to greater heights. " YATHO VAACHO NIVARTHANTHE APRAAPYA MANASA SAHA ".
Srinivas Kumar your thought made me proud as a son of this Holy Wood(land). Namaste.
Srinivas Kumar ur name where Lakshmi resides how beautiful

Such a beautiful and wise film, Akanksha. Watching it feels like seeing the sacred dance of life unfold. It was a special treat to see the American teachers of Vedic wisdom, Laura Plumb and Bhava Ram, included with such brilliant and delightful sages as K. V. Subramanyam. May you make many for films of this depth and artistic quality. And may their distribution be wide, too.
***** I find your articulation to be wonderful Akanksha
Do u know the song asadoma sadgamaya
zakir naik should watch this wonderful documentary
He would not understand anything by watching. He only follows chapters & verse .
Bhaskar Maity *Ratta Marta hai vo.. sanajhta nai hai..*
+Elvis Patrao, Zakir Naik's Consciousness is covered by a thousand-layered quilt. All the layers should get peeled off one- by-one by his own effort directed toward that end, which may take a few thousand births, before he can even think of self-realisation.
We shall not judge.....
But we should examine. Pramana is the one your seek from your Guru and in return you give yourself.
I remember as small kid we used to sleep on roof surrounded by the plants. Our elders never allowed us to touch the plants. their explanation was "They are sleeping". So much respect for our rivers, plants, mountains; in short for the nature, which is essence of our living.
*****
You are right Panch Mahayajnas are very much part of our life. It has unwittingly percolated down to us from our elders.
Thanks for the beautiful description from a person who seems to be very young. God bless.
Yes during night
Namaste...Bowing...I'am still in the dream...Love, gratitude, blessings
Show this to the Indian youth! They don't care about their culture, many of them won't even be able to define Sanatan Dharma properly. The impact of West is so bad on India...
Radhe Radhe
A most beautiful film. So much colour, depth & wisdom. I learnt so much whilst viewing it's beauty. Thank you so much. Namaste
yes
It’s not possible to describe India in words 🤩
Your right about that lol 😂!!!!!
This is a joy to watch. It is both visually beautiful and aurally poetic, a doorway to the divine.
Dear Akanksha, a beautiful video.
There are various ways one can attain spiritual awakening - by rituals, by knowledge of vedas, by worshiping. Experience is the world’s best teacher.
I totally agree with KVS. Can you be happy within yourself - regardless of what others think about you or talk about you, regardless of your imperfections & shortcomings? If so you are awakened. If your happiness depends on others or the material world, then its not happiness, its attachment / co- dependency.
Proud to be born in India 🇮🇳
Proud of what India has given to the world - the Vedas.
Proud being a hindu🙏🚩
Dearest Akanksha, I am utterly stunned at its beauty, intelligence and depth. Your voice is like ancient Deva speaking into my soul. The filming and editing is rich beyond belief. I am utterly humbled and honored to have been included.
"साक्षि कॆवलॊ निर्गुणश्च" - The witness is uncompounded and without the burden of Tri Gunas. Bharat is the Sakshi that offers Satyam, Shivam & Sundaram to the seekers from all the corners. And it offers without strings attached. Good work done @ Akanksha Joshi. Keep up with the sojourn of Spiritual India.
Really a very good work. Indians need to explore the spiritual beauty of the so called religious places and there by offer universally applicable meanings, reconciliations, attribute to the expression "Sanathana Dharma". More documentaries like this need to be produced.
***** Dear Akanksha, should you be willing to dub this in to Telugu, I can help you in scripting the same. PS: No strings attached :)
What meant to be Hindu is that it takes nothing, if you shouldn't belive in god you're still Hindu, if you don't follow a culture or ceremony you're Hindu, if you eat any kind of meat you're still Hindu, this is the beauty of hinduism
What an amazing video and beautiful message... This is what our world needs right now!
yes
Beautifully presented and very well shot. It feels like a lullaby of the soul. Thank you for creating this
Ertyuiopasdg ghost k
yes
I have watched this film several times and watch it again and again. So well made, well edited and perfect in every sense. Hats off!!
Asok Bhadra (Canada)
Akanksha, you have presented to the world in one hour what Veda, different comments from people from foreign lands stating their experience & India's openness to absorb all with open mind, is a lesson to us all, more is not necessarily a gift for happiness. You have displayed it very well & music was just perfect. God bless you
Great video. A must watch for all, who are still looking for the definition of Hinduism.
Well made. The idea is everything comes from the divine, so everything is divine. Help each other, enjoy life and bring peace.
yes
i appreciate the effort behind defining sanatan dharm mother of all religion and sanskrit mother of all languages...
+PAPPU GANDHI Not watching Chota Bheem?
Rational Atheist hehe finished watching it...
PAPPU GANDHI How about Baalveer?
Rational Atheist that too done ...
PAPPU GANDHI Gud gud.. Now go Bangkok...
Excellent documentary,very good teachings, and well filmed.
Thanks.
Thank you for this, I am deeply in love with India for nearly 30 years now and this movie is a beautiful homage to its beauty and depth. Namaste
HI Akanksha :
Congratulations !!!! This is a beautiful film -- in less than 50 minutes you have beautifully described Sanatan Dharma (BTW as Swami Satyananda explains in the film, I try to avoid using the word 'Hinduism') . . . Commentary, interviews, video shots, landscapes, the chants, the music -- everything is perfect . . . in particular, about 6 minutes commentary at the end accompanied by Raag 'Bhairavi' in the background is deeply touching.
Sanatan Dharma or the Vedic Dharma is grossly misunderstood, even by its so-called followers, not to mention by foreigners.
In Sri Aurobindo's words:
"The highest spirituality indeed moves in a free and wide air far above the LOWER STAGES OF SEEKING, which is governed by religious FORM AND DOGMA. . .But man does not arrive immediately at that highest [spiritual] inner elevation and, if it were demanded from him at once, he would never arrive there. At first he needs lower supports and stages of ascent; he asks for scaffolding of DOGMA, WORSHIP, IMAGE, SIGN, FORM, SYMBOL, SOME INDULGENCE and permission of mixed half-natural motive on which he can stand while he builds up in him the temple of spirit. Only when the temple is completed CAN THE SUPPORT BE REMOVED, THE SCAFFOLDING DISAPPEAR. . . It is only if we have a just and right appreciation of THIS SENSE AND SPIRIT OF INDIAN RELIGION that we can come to an understanding of the TRUE SENSE AND SPIRIT of Indian culture." ("The Foundation of Indian Culture", p. 122)
The film will allow not only foreigners but many Indians too of all faiths understanding the true import of this age old philosophy, religion, spirituality, Dharma, or the 'Way of Life'. I have already watched it at least a dozen times since I accidentally found its link on facebook.
Thanks again for bringing out this great work for the world to enjoy.
Amal Gupta ( Boston, USA)
Me too. :)
Amo como visten las mujeres de la India mi próximo viaje a la India ✨💖
This was some life changing material
Beautiful film!!!! Makes me want to return to India so much more.... :)
An utterly brilliant piece of spiritual work Akansha!
Great to seeing and listening you in this documentary sir. Pranaam 🙏
One thing I will never understand is how you people are such peaceful considering all that hot & spicy (however delicious) food you are all consuming.. My behind is on fire for a day if not more after I eat your food. I love Indians, sweet and smart people of Asia.
Vincent Pescus hahahahahahahahahahahahah, peace brother
Have some curd with your food. Cools your mind body and ...
😂
This comment is so awesome, take care!
vincent pescus,
hmmmm..... dont reveal company secret, otherwise the conversion guys will get heart burn
May all sentient being be happy, peaceful and free from suffering!
I was searching for K.V.S or K.V Subrananiyam.
His spiritual evolution and wisdom is extraordinary. I couldn't find him anywhere tho.
Hindu Nectar is like being served hot piping chai on a cold winter morning - a reminder of home that invokes a sweet longing for....for the forgotten, for the deeply buried memories and for the missing pieces of one's self. It helps that the visuals are gorgeous and Chinmaya's background score is appropriately haunting. This 45 minute film confirms that India is not a nation, India is a spiritual proposal, a way of dropping the self and finding the Infinite. Cannot wait to see what else Akanksha will manifest in the future!
***** Well done! I wish you would also go up in the himalayas around Uttarkashi, valley of saints. Also some Vedic schools where there is authentic Vedic Chanting in the traditional Manner. There are numerous new studies which show the harmonizing influence of Vedic mantras and yagyas in the environment. Unfortunately the art of Vedic chanting is diminishing, perhaps you could help in the revival by making it part of your future docus. The background score is beautiful!!
Kashmira, your words have touch my every nerve, as if we all are searching for the same beyond this material universe..Thank you for your profound writings.
thank you Sanjay
Those beautuflly colored robes are themselves a binding, sutras maybe be themseleves a distraction to the present and unhidden truth. now..and now and nowhere else than the present. I've been stung by "Mother" devotion until I realized (with quite a bit of shame) I had been talking to myself all along. Now she's kinda a huckster IMHO.
Maya, Atma, Moksha, if you encounter these words frequently in your life - Hindu nector is for you..Hindu nector will take you to the journey, and this is not India's journey, this is not the journey of Hinduism. It's you. It's your own journey. It will take you to your own inner silence. It will shake you from your core. If you are done with watching movies, watch Hindu nector and your thirst would be filed. Thanks Akanksha for giving this marvelous masterpiece.
Thank you for the beautiful scenes and sounds. I live far away from India, but when, on my walks, I see a tree, I pause under it and sing the following Tree Prayer and then the locus under the tree becomes India for me:
धत्ते भरं कुसुमपत्र फलावलीनां
घर्मव्यथां वहति शीतभवां रुजां च /
यो देहमर्पयति चाऽन्य सुखस्य हेतोः
तस्मै वदान्यगुरवे तरवे नमस्ते //
dhattē bharaṁ kusumapatra phalāvalīnāṁ
gharmavyathāṁ vahati śītabhavāṁ rujāṁ ca /
yō dēhamarpayati cā’nya sukhasya hētōḥ
tasmai vadānyaguravē taravē namastē //
I bow my head in respect to you, O, Tree!
You are my guru
In how you generously bear the weight of leaves and flowers and fruits
For the sake of others,
In how you bear the hardship of the summer heat
And the pains of the winter afflictions,
For the sake of others,
And in how you offer your body and life at the end
For the well-being of others.
Jagannaatha Pandita (India, 15th Century C.E.)
you did a great job...We have treasure which is unexplored to world or even to many indians...
A fresh breeze to breathe for purifying one's soul. Gratitude for making this documenatary
Thank you and pranam Akanksha . Truly a beautiful journey for the soul. Even though I have been to all these places, there is still a yearning to go back and immerse in the glory of such spirituality.
Akanksha's creation far exceeds my own vision of juxtaposing, synergizing and harmonizing everything so beautifully that I am expressionless. I identify myself completely with it. My book Seed of Genius also focuses towards this inner self-awareness and optimizing ourselves while on Planet earth.
Each one of us must spend the 50 minutes watching and imbibing this, without interruption, as Akanksha's creation is a meditation in itself. Please share after watching and not as a mere reflex action of liking and sharing.
Watched it. Loved it.
It has been made with a lot of love and affection. Most of the protagonists are people from outside India who have been influenced and have chosen to adopt the Hindu way and live in India. They have come under the influence and learnt the ways from scratch. They have thus tasted the nectar, and have decided that this is the aim of their existence.
The film maker has had the Hindu tradition handed down to her through family rituals and elders’ stories. Now she has embarked upon a journey to delve into the truths behind the tales. What better analysts than those who have chosen to renounce their previous ways of life and adopt the Hindu way. Their approach is objective, and they go straight for the jugular, without getting bogged down in anything whose essence they do not understand.
Yes, it is a soul-led approach to a way of life, not a set of rules and customs. It is an experience that lightens and uplifts.
It is a child’s tribute to her Baba and Amma. As such, we see a lot of reserve and restraint in Akanksha; in her words, in her voice; more awe and less dance. Some of us miss the childlike abandon, but we understand that it has been sacrificed to respect and gratitude.
Wow, this was like taking a trip to India. Namaste! Beautiful & beyond.....✨
God or Bhagwan has no religion no boundaries no form it is the true nature of every being and experiencing this is what known as Sanatan dharma or hinduism.
The only way to get rid of all your miseries all your pain and become the one which is what every one is search for.
@Susan Hopkinson : Answer to your question - "Can anyone tell me the mantra chanted at 9'25?"
Bhagwat Gita - Chapter Five Verse 20 and 21
" न प्रहृष्येत्प्रियं प्राप्य नोद्विजेत्प्राप्य चाप्रियम् ।
स्थिरबुद्धिरसंमूढो ब्रह्मविद्ब्रह्मणि स्थितः"
बाह्यस्पर्शेष्वसक्तात्मा विन्दत्यात्मनि यत् सुखम् ।
स ब्रह्मयोगयुक्तात्मा सुखमक्षयमश्नुते
One should not rejoice on obtaining what is pleasant nor sorrow on obtaining what is unpleasant. He who is (thus) firm of understanding and un-bewildered, such a know'er of God is established in God.
When the soul is no longer attached to external contacts (objects) one finds the happiness that is in the Self. Such a one who is self-controlled in Yoga on God (Brahma) enjoys undying bliss.
Thank you!
Ravi Shankar - chants of India song name is Mangalam 36:40
Profound wisdom!! KVS seems to be a modern rishi!! a man of enormous connection to the surface and self discovery
Wide awake in a beautiful dream ! Thanks for sharing a truly enchanting video.
😊‘︿’
Dear Akansha Pranam, A true portrayal of Sanatana Dharma,beautiful,
Hari Om
Thank you so much for this film!A great film, showing what India, but also life is about!Took me back to this long time gone time, when I was spending my life in India, knowing what is realy important.May this days come again!
Sloka at 9:25 is from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 and verse 20
Akanksha, and everyone who made this movie:
Thank you for taking us through this deep and stirring journey in such a short time. May this movie reach many more people. The visuals were arresting, the voiceover was sincere and engrossing, and the background music overwhelming. Loved Mr KVS. His words, conviction and clarity won me over.
It is not an academic overview, not an intellectual treatise, but watching this movie was like experiencing the essence of what many term as Hinduism.
We cannot comprehend SPIRITUALLY...What one think is with MATERIAL MINDSET....❤️❤️❤️🙏
very beautifully narrated, Hinduism above all religions.
This journey is one that so many of us have taken and so filled with discoveries that nourishes the inner being of each in its own individual way. What a beautiful journey is this.......
This movie has stirred something within me and the spiritual expounding from the wise ones are thought provoking. Sadly some indians are ashamed of their heritage and are instead looking westwards. Worse, they are trying to convince many young indians to do the same. Let more people awaken to whats within. 🙏
Mo one ashame it's our identity it's our pridee but we have to make our economy great again as we are from 3000 bc to 1700 ad no 1 economy
I just clicked on it to see 3/4 minutes of this presentation but I could not let my eyes get out of it till the last minute..... such great it is.....my love & pride on I being a sanatan & Bhartiya are increased 1000 times....."ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE".
I have been watching this master piece every year for last 8 years , every time it purifies my soul .
7th time i m watching this video, yet never bothered to commenting on it,, every time i try to write but i feel totally vacuum ,, thanks for this video,,
Two people arrives at this juncture, one who have eroded their senses gratifying the sensory pleasures and second ones are the great rare ones who kicked off the mundane even before tasting it; realising it's evanescent nature.❤️ I bow down to such souls🙏
beautiful narration which keeps going for 48 minutes... sarve jana sukino bavanthu ... god bless all..
Thank you Akanksha Joshi and all others who contributed in making this video, this beautiful creation, possible and available. The influence of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (whom you have dutifully referenced) is unmistakable, particularly "Sourcebook of Indian Philosophy".
***** "The unquestionable content of the experience is that about which nothing more can be said. Indian scriptures give cases of teachers who dispelled the doubts of their pupils by assuming an attitude of silence on this question. When we hear enthusiastic descriptions about the ultimate reality, let us remember the dictum of Lao Tze that he who knows the Tao way may be recognised by the fact that he is reluctant to speak about it."..."God is too great for words to explain. He is like light, making things luminous, but himself invisible. And yet cannot afford to be absolutely silent. Though the tools of sense and understanding cannot describe adequately, creative imagination with its symbols and suggestions may be of assistance. The profoundest wisdom of the past is transmitted to us in the form of myths and metaphors which do not have any fixed meaning and therefore can be interpreted as life requires"...."If experience is the soul of religion, expression is the body through which it fulfils its destiny". [All excerpts from "A sourcebook of Indian philosophy" - Dr S Radhakrishnan, Charles.A.Moore]. Thanks again, to all at Hindu Nectar and to you specifically for having devoted two years of your life in generating such a beautiful expression.
Great summarisation of subtle aspects of Sanatan Dharma. Vivid description and calming pictureisation ensured that I view it without a break. Good combination of saguna upasaka and transcendent Nirguna upasaka explanation. Great wor
perfect blend of visual and words
Such a beautiful film..loved it so much...makes me more aware and willing to rediscover my Indianness/ Bhartiyata :) Thank you..love and peace to you all :)

Moksha = moha(illusion)+kshaya(end)
Mental understanding of Maya and Atma is "jeevan+mukt" (life free).
The meeting with light within, the Atma, is moksha. Because, this plasmic light is formed from atoms, atomic vision/knowledge. At this level, mind meets Truth and thus gets to know atomic wisdom. Pretty much, ignorance of mind significantly reduces here. Siddha means si+dha, si from sa(That), dha from dhi(mind), mind which learns of That. Buddha from bu+dha, wise mind.
Most of the world lives in bhoga
Thus gets roga
Then want to get in yoga... (I practice all 3 of these)
Haha. I like the last three lines.
Beautifully Narrated!! Om Shanti
This movie is nourishment of the soul. We use this to teach people basics of Hinduism. Akankasha Ji you should have added just one more Rigvedic Shloka to give this documentary completeness "Indram Mitram Agnim Ãhu atho; Dhivya Sah: Suparnah Garûthman...E'kam Sath Viprah: Bahudhãh Vadhanthi, Agnim; Yama Matharisvãnam Ãhuh: -- Rig Veda - Verse I-164.46- For me Ekam Sat Viprah Bahudhah Vadanti - Truth is only one & wise know it by different names.. is one of the most important statement of ancient Indian thoughts... Thanks for making this movie..
Akhand Bharat Mata ki Jai. Find the Truth Within and Without the Eternal Dharma ( Sanatan Dharma ) AUM, Amen, Amin AUM Shanti Shanti Shanti.
yes truth is one but the vedic Or Dhramic ways are different . you can be go on tantra yoga bhakti yoga any path or any dharmic religion like buddhism jainism sikhism sanatan every path is lead to same self divinity and liberate you from the circle of reincarnation and get the moksha and merge with the shakti or bhaahmaan ...
The Hindu world/universal view and concepts: Extremely hard to wrap your head around.
1. Atman: The Self (not soul, sanskrit non-translatable). Atman is present in all living beings. In worms, dogs, elephants and man (includes woman).
2. Brahman: inpersonal,non-authoritative,non-punitive,formless,shapeless presence across every nook and cranny of the universe/multiverse. Brahman is the reason why the laws of physics are consistent, the reason why the volcano erupts etc. Brahman is transcendental,all expansive, ultimate reality.
3. Atman = Brahman: the microcosm is the same as the macro cosm. You are Brahman. 'Tatvam Asi' = 'Thou art that'.
4. Atman is pure.
5. Atman can merge with brahman THROUGH: Yoga (root word: 'Yuj = union' of body,mind and Atman. THROUGH: Sadhana: Rituals. THROUGHBhakthi: Worship and reverence. THROUGH Gyana: Knowledge of the Vedas.
6. Brahman present in every nook and cranny and grain of the universe: This concept is called 'the Eminance of Brahman'.
7. Rebirth: Atman 'ditches' one body and assumes another and shall continue to do so until unites with Brahman.
8. Karma: the result of deeds, carried on by Atman from one Birth to another.
9. Maya: The reason why Atman has trouble recognizing Brahman.
10. Moksha/Mukthi: Liberation. A direct result of Yoga/Sadhana/Bhakthi or Nyana.
11. Swadharma: Swa=Mine. Dharma=Way of life. 'My way of life' means the ability to customize mode/form of life which will lead to moksha/mukti. Cannot be prescriptive insead highly customizable by you.
SOME HINDU THOUGHT AND PHILOSOPHY - COMPARED
1. Man (includes women) is NOT a sinner. The 'Hindu Good News' is that man is pure.
2. Liberation is NOT salvation: Salvation pre-supposes a condition of being sinful. Liberation pre-supposes a condition of purity.
3. Atman is present in every living being and soul is present only in man (includes woman).
4. Atman can be reborn. Soul cant. It goes to heaven or hell and embracing the "proponent" of the religion makes the difference.
5. Heaven is a place where the soul is a guest in the kingdom of god. Liberation is when Atman merges with Brahman.
DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON ATMAN AND RELATIONSHIP WITH BRAHMAN:
1. Dvaitam: Duality. Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are distinct entities.
2. Advaitam: Non-Duality: Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are one and the same thing.
3. Vishishta-Advaitham: Qualified Non-Duality: Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are one and the same thing. But you need an 'initiator' to help you reach divinity and this is the role of the 'Matha'(centre of learning) and the 'mathadipathi'(pontiff).
SOME KEY ASPECTS TO HINDU PHILOSOPHY:
1. Parama-arthika: The divine realm.
2. Vyavaharika: The practical realm.
Both of them are equally important. It is important to progress in both. Hence, scientific progress is the vehicle through which man discovers God. Hence, under the hindu faith, science has never been and is not at odds with religion.
3. Non-History centricism: As Hindu, One can experience the 'divinity project' without having to believe in historic incidents such as the mahabharatha or the ramayana. Infact, Hindus arent at all bound by their history.
HINDU PLURALISM VS WESTERN SECULARISM
Hindu Pluralism: 'You' are as right as 'I' am about god and we BOTH are equally valid paths to god. Most people think Hindus are polytheists. They are NOT. They are ALL worshipping 'Brahman" but pluralism accomodated every perspective into the mainstream.
Western Secularism: 'I' dont think 'you' are equally right. Infact, I think you are wrong. But I "tolerate" your presence.
KEY SANSKRIT NON-TRANSLATABLES
ATMAN IS NOT EQUAL TO SOUL. Atman is pure. Soul is not.
MOKSHA/MUKTHI IS NOT EQUAL TO SALVATION: Moksha is liberation from maya. Salvation pre-supposes a condition of sin.
BRAHMAN IS NOT EQUAL TO GOD: Brahman is present in every nook and cranny while god is mainly an exterior being.
Similarly.....
SHAKTHI IS NOT EQUAL TO POWER
AGNI IS NOT EQUAL TO FIRE
PRANA IS NOT EQUAL TO LIFE
VARNA IS NOT EQUAL TO CASTE
Sanskrit cannot be so easily translated as there are very many non-translatables (roughly 100) which if translated, lend a whole other meaning to the text, hence watering down the essence. Hence, learning the bhagavad gita or upanishads or the vedas in any language other than sanskrit leads to totally misunderstanding them.
Thnk u for such wonderful thought about sanatana Dharma.
Mustang 1981 Obviously you are a fan of Rajiv, right??👍🏻. Sorry, Slight differences in your view about Atman merging with Brahman. No merging here. Ignorance is superimposed on Jeevatma, when ignorance is removed by knowledge , Vidya, the realisation occurs that Atman and Brahman is one and same. Merging implies two! Aham Atman Brahman, Aham Brahmasmi. There are no two. All here is Brahman Isha Vasyam itham sarvam!
@Revision TV Sigh. Its NOT a religion. Please stop with that toxic idea.

Akanksha, I have no idea about the technical aspects of a film. But whatI find is a flawlessness in the photography, editing, and whatI term the 'effects'.The blending, the editing. All are really good. The movie, like the story,runs smoothly, comfortably, flowingly.
Namaskaram. I would just like to say Thank You for making this beautiful documentary.
This will show the rest of the world what India is really about!
23:10 that laughter stared me in face. That's wisdom telling me, "how much do you even know?"

I feel proud that i born in india.... One day my india will become world guru... Whole world will follow Hinduism.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love for whole world from my beautiful india...
World need to understand indian culture...
Don't understand wrong india for the reason of some people....
very well informed and detailed and I would like to make a point, there is nowhere mention 33 million gods in Sanatana(Hindu) Dharma. Its 33 Koti means 33 types of gods.
This is one of the best, if not THE best, films I've ever seen. In it "I" can see the possibility of my "Self". A wakeup call to Infinity.
Highly philosophical ❤️ loved every bit of the documentary. Winding up 2020 on a positive note 🙏 cheers to Sanatan Dharma 🙏
yes
dhanyawad behen.... this is one of the material what I am searching for. Your work is helping the confused people like us to focus on the ultimate goal of life. After watching this, lots of questions and thoughts are coming in my mind. Perhaps I could share with you! Namaste.
This is the best documentary about sanatana dharma in india .,it’s so real
Hi Akansha ............ its really beautiful and the rendition is so pure !!! Can you get more from Mr KVS in your next ..... or persuade him to talk more on Hinduism.......He is such a joy to listen to...... wish we could have more from such learned people , instead we are flooded with superfluous Baba on various channels who all say same thing but in a bland cold manner !!!!!
***** that would be really nice if you could release those conversations.....LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. Once again I must complement your dedicated effort to bring this beautiful documentary and many Congratulations for winning award at Film Festival ..
***** Superb Documentary.....Please visit www.dadabhagwan.org (Adalaj - Gujarat) Gurantee Once you get self -realised you will stop all wondering in your life..you will get real knowledge just in 2 hours....Must check out...
The humans of the west and middile east have destroyed us numerous times and my heart cry for my ancestors who were butchered murdered and raped...But being a hindu i have no hate for this generation of west and middile east...We know very well how to heal and cop up with such civilizational attacks n genocides...We all are part of one Brahman...We are same, we are drops of same sea...The whole world is my family, and mother earth is our home...Being a hindu i bow to all noble souls and respect every creation of God...

This is the most the most beautiful content I have seen on CZcams. Truly liberating and enchanting.
Wonderful doccumentory on Indian culture and phylosophy. Should watch....... Its deep.
I usually don't comment much - this is a beautiful and amazing documentary. Well done Akansha - there needs to be more such as this. 😊
This is truly an eye and heart opener. It has more intense impact on me as many many satsangs. I am very very grateful and bow. Namaste🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm glad I clicked this video. Wonderful film, enlightening. All of the people featured in it speak well about their understanding of Sanatan Dharma, particularly KVS ayya speech is stirring my inner soul. I'm still a small person struggling to understand the wisdom behind his words, but it definitely reassures my faith. I would like to hear from him more.
very nice video. The spiritual heitage of India beautifully explained.
