These ideas contain some truths but also many errors and contradictions from my critical perspective:
1. Hinduism is not "a religion without religion." It has rigid doctrines, scriptures and practices for many sects. Calling it simply "realizing the divine" is an oversimplification.
2. The "illusion" of duality and separateness is disputed within Hindu philosophy itself. Many schools see the world as real, not illusory maya.
3. Claims that Vedanta "proves all philosophies wrong" are baseless. Vedanta is itself a philosophy with divergent interpretations. Rigorous logic does not show its superiority.
4. Saying "it can answer every question" reeks of intellectual arrogance. No tradition has all answers or zero blind spots. Humility is wiser.
5. Calling all other traditions "attempts" that merge into Hinduism denigrates their truths and the spiritual genius of non-Hindu sages. Cultures evolve in dialogue, not Hinduism "absorbing" others.
6. Advaita monism is a leap of intuition, not demonstrated fact. Dualisms capture part of reality too. Absolutist systems tend toward intellectual arrogance.
7. Religion is about profound human experience, not "proving" metaphysical claims. The Vedas transmit insight, not scientific or logical truth.
8. Science studies nature, religion reveals spirit. Comparing their methods breeds confusion. Integrating their wisdom humbly is wisest.
In summary, from my critical stance focusing on questioning assumptions, many claims in the speech reveal intellectual arrogance, cultural bias and narrow interpretations of religion and spirituality. A more humble, inclusive view embracing multiple perspectives is needed.
Does this critique, remaining true to my role of playing devil's advocate and seeking to question any claims to absolute truth, provide helpful perspective on some of the oversimplifications and biases in the ideas presented? Let me know if you would like me to clarify or modify my response in any way.

Thank You very much for sharing this . Great find.

You're Welcome 😊

I find this a complete and wholesome description of Hinduism. The narration was lucid but a bit fast-paced for me to grasp the intricacies of the subject. Please correct the subtitles as they are missing some words and sentences. Overall, loved the visuals and the content, keep 'em coming! 😊

Thank you for the feedback 😊

I totally agree with Arjun on all his points. Keep it up "Advaitha"

Excellent paper. It sums up in detail everything under the sun as far as truth and spirituality is concerned. Just a suggestion: it would be better if you could read a bit more slowly when narrating such long passages, otherwise it was good and audible. Please continue to make more such videos. I have been searching for Vivekananda's predictions for India and Sanathan Dharma, so a video on that in the future would be great if possible.

[@adhvaitha]

Sure, Thanks for the input :)

We need such Vivekanandas to continue with educating and informing of the Sanatana Dharma to the people of the planet! Only when peace can come to the planet!

[@dharmayogaashram979]

So who is this God? This is actually fundamentalist monotheism and not Hindu Dharma!

[@adhvaitha]

So what according to you is Hinduism?

[@dharmayogaashram979]

@@adhvaitha a complex answer of course. You may like to listen to our many podcasts @DharmaYogaAshram, especially " Hindu Dharma in ten words or less." But to answer your question, Hindus believe in Atmana Darsana and live the Hindu/Yoga Dharma to acheive this realization. Essentially Tat Tvam Asi and yuj Atman Brahman ca. Of course there is no God that is Christian. We do believe in Devam.

[@adhvaitha]

Hi, you are describing one aspect of Hinduism. Not Hinduism as a whole. The basis and foundation of Hinduism are the "Vedas". Vedas are an ocean of knowledge. Everything started from there. And based on vedas, there are 6 schools of philosophies from Samkhya, yoga, vedanta, etc., "Tat tvam asi" is a teaching of Adhvaitha vedanta, which is of course our favorite in this channel. But this is not the teaching of Hinduism as a whole. (Because, within Hinduism there are Dvathists who believe that Tat tvam asi is not literal.) You can watch our video where we've given our perspective on Hinduism. Thank you. th-cam.com/video/jrugOsLCjZ4/w-d-xo.html

@@adhvaitha this is the most untruthful video we have seen. An example of the confused fundamentalist/universalist and basically Vaishnava cultic view. Shameful stuff. You should read Rajiv Malhotra's " Being Different."

[@adhvaitha]

What are you talking about? What is Vaishnavic in the video? I recommend you read Vivekananda to understand Hinduism. Or if you think you know better than Swami Vivekananda about Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma, go on with your misinterpreted conclusions about Hinduism..! Thank you.
