Clearly he hasn’t read Durga Saptashati to claim ma kali isn’t associated with war. Vagueness is what rules the internet.
There should be duality. In the Bhagavat Purana the place were the demon king Bali resides is Sutala, it's the 5th Loka counted from below. Indras place is also the 5th counted from above. Also Bali will become the next Indra, after the current manvantara ends. But Bali can't really be called asura, because he surrendered to Vamana avatar.

Namaste🙏🏽 I know the Vedas are boring but could you please discuss the Asuras in the Rig Veda that are worshipped as deities like Varuna. I sense Demons are shape shifters and can take the form of ASURAS or GANAS. I kindly ask of you to please discuss the similarities and differences of the two and elaborate on Demons taking either form. 🙏🏽🕉️☮️
Asura means lord ok. And indra takes forms too. Infact all forms are his creation which is why he is also called vishwakarman
Ganas are army bands and are generally regarded positive in rigveda not in a negative way at all. Infact the word ganesha means lord of ganas
Thoughts surfaces on their own only with the bessings of the Mother....and we truly believein them...thanks a lot🙏

🎉 One bright side of tech - in another life, I would have no chance to see and hear a great practitioner and Acarya of this calibre. Thanks for uploading!
That is true.
As per SriSankara Maya means not an illusion .They have translated wrongly as illusion.But you can refer to his definition in his 2/1/14.Sutrabhashya where he defines it as Shakti name and form(नामरूप) प्रक्रृति (premordial Nature)Maya as you can't say it as Absolute and at the same time not other than Absolute independently as waves to water. Finally my suggestion is as you said earlier to go to orinal texts of Agamas to know correctly what Agamas are telling so too go to original Sankrara bashyas and learn the teachings under a अनुभावि who is apt in giving correct purport of the texts and bhashya on them. Don't study who says "thus speaks Sankra " and judge Srisamkara .There are so many mis conceptions about Srisamkara.
@hanumanthraoji Sankara’s vada is called vivartha vada. It of course does not mean illusion.
You are saying the world is real and even while enjoying it you can get Enlightenment or Shivahood or any name you give.One seems to missing that the body mind complex also comes under the heading world .Whenbody also real and you suggest enjoy the world one is considering the world as real and enjoying fully already.Where is the place for AGAMA when it says the samething.Why should one strive for Shivahood which is not in his experience instead of enjoying the world?And finally who knows that Shiva really delivered Agamas?You may question the same thing regarding Vedas.But here lies the greatness of Sri Sankara he proclaims daringly that keeping this seeming combination of Self and notself which is called Avidya all the Sastras not only both emperical and religious but also the sastras that recommend Liberation also.For that only the Upanishad proclaims "अत्र वेदान्तवेद्याय भवन्ति here when one recognizes his true nature even Vedas merge in his Absolute nature..So the final judge is your own अनुभव. But we consider Vedas as valid means because it is given by God but it doesn't go against your experience. न हि वेदोक्तकर्मनिर्मुक्तान्विप्रैश्च वेदःप्रणामत्वमीह इष्यते ।किं तु अमानित्व हेतूनां वेदवाक्येषु असंभवात्।we don't consider Vedas as valid only due to they are Vedas but they won't contain any words that are invalid " says SriSureswara a desciple of Sri Sankara.That is the glory of Sankra Vedanta which asks to apply one's own experience अनुभव without taking any other authority as means to recognize the Truth the Absolute!OM!
Not because Vedas are given by God but ......
🙏
Please make this a lyrical video ❤
Sri Sankara says "Who is saying that Shiva is the Ultimate and Shakti through which He remaing in his own glory manifests himself as the world etc all these You are saying.Who is this I that is telling all these things? ..So know who you are first.You are a seemingly combination of yourself and not self in this present state.Descriminate what is change less and what is ever changing.After Recognizing yourself you come to know that what you rejected as notself also nothing but you. There is nothing to keep or reject anything because there is nothing second entity other than you.आत्मौवेदं सर्वम् ।I am everything. OM!
@hanumanthraoj Will this INTELLECTUAL discrimination between the changeless and changing destroy avidya? Evidently you have discriminated .Has your avidya vanished? Have you become a Brahmajnani? Please don’t give a theoretical reply. My question is down to earth practical question.
Thats a interesting session. Pranam Guru 🙏
Does not Vedanta say दृष्टिं ज्ञानमयीं कृत्वा पश्येत् ब्रह्ममयं जगत्?That is the defect is with your looking at the world.. not with the world.But one is in present state totally engulfed in the world taking it as real as a first step vedanta says the world is not real as you see but it is nothing but Brahman.Then one tries to know what is Brahman. Then the teaching declares you are that and it shows the WAY how to recognize the truth!This is simplified vedanta.You are also telling so many Upayas to remove Malas.If malas are REAL they can never able to be removed because they are REAL.And who has to do upayas ?Jeeva you say .Why Shiva became jeeva?You say it is His इच्छा .Why all this confusion at all?And so many such questions! Pranams!
If anyone claims that Vedanta says that he World is not real then it is not Vedanta (or the final and complete understanding) but half-baked Vedanta. True Vedanta is realizing that the World and the Self are One hence Ekam Sat (Rig Veda). The only illusion is Separation. And there's a good reason for the illusion of separation. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad speaks of cosmic loneliness as being the trigger. Big Bang. Wow. Jesus came to the same conclusion. Krishna too. Anandamayi Ma also. Tagore too. Ask me any question. I will answer you.
@@Ekam-SatEkam sat vipra bahudha vadanti
@@Ekam-Sat What does the acharya say in the Mandukya Karika? Does he say that nothing has ever been created or that everything has been created?
@@muralidharankv169 Dear Sir. I am just a novice. Regarding your question about whether the Acharya (Gaudapada) says that "nothing has ever been created" or "everything has been created," the key idea in the Māṇḍūkya Kārikā is that creation, as we understand it, is an illusion. Gaudapada asserts that the world is not really created, and there is no true distinction between creation and the unchanging, eternal reality (Brahman). This is grounded in the non-dual (Advaita) perspective, which emphasizes that the world is an appearance in consciousness and that ultimate reality is beyond the cycle of creation and destruction. HOWEVER... and this is very important. The above interpretation misses the point. If all is ONE (which it is), then it could be argued that there is no illusion and that the only illusion is separation/separateness. Personally; I am inclined to go with Shuddhadvaita. Shuddhadvaita has the same view as Kashmir Shaivism that the individual soul (the bodymind complex) is Brahman since there is only Brahman (Atman = Paramatman, or, Differentiation within Oneness). So even Maya or Leela is Real since there is only the Real. It is just that it isn't really good to be alone. Hence why the purpose of Brahman/Shiva/Krishna/Self is ultimately Companionship/Love. Bhakti is the way to God/Self realization. But so is Jnana. Passion and intelectual curiosity for science, religion, spirituality as well. I am sure you could give me many more examples. Please note that I was raised Catholic and that my interpretation may thus be slightly different. Do not be influenced by different opinions. Please choose what resonates with you. Blessings. Wishing you all the goodness in the World. Thank you. In appreciation.
