@@brucevillamayor5944 Just proves God is real and religions are just tales told by blind men contacting different parts of the same elephant. All religion say the same things in different ways like different languages use different word for water pani agua etc.

@Cult Leader when buddha attained enlightenment he went on to spread his teachings not start a religion. Many of the buddha followers were Hindus in India who later wrote about his teachings in Hindu scriptures. That is why Hinduism and Buddhism seems similar.
As a Dalit and a Sri Vaishnava I can say that there is not a single pasaage in the entire vedic literature which links Varna ( caste is a very crude translation ) to birth , with time it mutated into a wrong practice of rigid birth based varnas but now people are realizing that its not what the sages teach . The Varna system was a fluid social system where an individuals character and deed determined his/her varna . We have sages like Satyakam , Valmiki , Vyas ( the compiler of the Vedas) , Vishvamitra and others who became Brahmins but were not born to Brahmin parents.
Dharma View U r right varna was created on the base of Guna anda Karma,which means acording to his ability they should catagorise in order to maintain social activities and to avoid anarchy.Todays also in the whole word all people are divaided into four Varnas disragarding their birth base cateism.
Wow.. I didn't consider myself religious, but spiritual. EVERY Hindu belief is already what I believed. I thought I didn't identify with any religion but I am in awe right now. THIS IS IT. This is so beautiful!!
There is one major thing that Hinduism does not provide, that is identity... Your name is Olive Juice online but it is not your real name. You change forms from one to another due to reincarnation. Your name will also change when you are in a different form, meaning your real name isn't your real name either. The only thing you can know about yourself is that you are a consciousness, but you don't know who you are... This is a major problem with Hinduism. Christianity tells you exactly who you are. You are a daughter of God, a princess, you are loved. Jesus died for you, and you were worth it. We are kings and priests unto our God. We are the body of Christ. We are made one spirit with Jesus and joined together with him. We are forgiven and set free. We are set apart and are not of this world. We are sanctified and made holy. We are born again. God has raised us up and made us to sit with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. In Christ, we can know who we are. In Hinduism, we cannot know who we are, and therefore we can never reach enlightenment...
@@Bi0Dr01d Hinduism let's u choose Ur identity rather than bounding u like the abrahamic religions. So it does provide identity but of ur choosing rather than somebody else choosing that for u.
What makes Hinduism unique and great? Since Hinduism allows “Absolute freedom of thoughts & actions” and does not profess monopoly on God, truth or salvation. Even an atheist has the right to condemn Hinduism in the public and still proudly say "I am a Hindu." ________________________________________ * Hindus respect all religions. + Hindus have no problem worshiping even in a church or mosque or in a synagogue. * Hindus see their personal God in the personal gods of all other religions. * Hinduism never ever proclaim monopoly on GOD or on TRUTH or on Salvation. * You do not even have to be a Hindu to attain salvation. * Rishis were scientists of ancient age. They even allowed people to condemn Hinduism in public. No Hindu was beaten up or killed. Kindly listen to this audio about my book AM I A HINDU? and post your valuable comments at that site. th-cam.com/video/nrzFa2Smrnk/w-d-xo.html
@Free Speech We do have a life purpose & we do go to "Heaven" light full of unconditional love, peace, joy & knowledge when we die. In fact, part of that light is in your higher self. I'm not affiliated with any religion, I have seen & experienced this. Peace&love❤❤✌✌
If u really know what is Christianity you would have accepted hinduism. Calling yourself a proud hindu is simply a waste without knowing it.. If u can, come to india.. See it for yourself..Don't just praise hinduism with hare Krishna group. They don't show u everything.. U have to see it for yourself. Know it completely before accepting it and calling yourself a proud Hindu!!
@@winifredjacob6553 Sick reply. Christian missionaries in India professing haterness against Hindu religion. That's what you are saying. I think yes. Christians in India are worst ever satan's as they profess haterness instead of Love. Hinduism welcomes you too.. In 21st century there is no Caste system. Even Swami Vivekandha say pray the God as per your religion and be true to yourself. Such a good and open minded ideas would flow only from spiritually heightened people. So Winifred Jacob Hinduism open heartily welcomes you.
Temples that today's scientists have no idea how they were built , then , Ayurveda , Vedic Math , Vedas that tell the people how there were 9 planets rotating the sun when people were believing the earth was flat . The devotion of he Hindus . I find these incredible . Btw nice vedio !
Stephen Mark Hinduism..is very interesting to know...but no one have that much knowledge about it....and the size of earth, gravitational force and even about DNA all are mentioned on those books at that time and many more...
It is also given in VEDAS "how the first aeroplane will fly" in the form of a riddle and the first aeroplane is said to be flown by Shivkar Bapuji Talpade a scholar of Sanskrit literature and the Vedas who actually cracked that riddle.
JUST a small correction. The caste system has no religious basis. you will not find any Hindu scriptures which supports Caste system. It was originally introduced as a SOCIAL STRUCTURE rather than a RELIGIOUS BELIEF. Much like the Movie DIVERGENT the society was grouped into four classes based on persons skills or their profession i.e. Brahmins (priests), Kshyatriyas(Administrators), Vaishyas(Traders), Shudras(labourers). As the generations passed, because of increasing corruption the priests and administrators considered themselves superior to the other two classes. I am saying all this because The caste system has never been a RELIGIOUS BELIEF it was a SOCIAL STRUCTURE introduced in the ancient times which became a corrupt practice later on after many generations.!!!
Insofar as the Rig Veda (c. 1200 B.C.E) is a religious text, the caste system has a religious basis. Considering that the varna is first mentioned here, specifically, in the tenth book of the Rig Veda known as the Purusha Sukta it seems like claiming it has a religious basis is warranted. Also, social structures often times fall within religious belief therefore it is unclear as to what the claim you posit even means. Often times, the social and cultural are inseparable from the religious.
i hope that now as young people migrate to the huge cities to improve their lives they will marry mates from whatever caste but the caste system seems to getting worse in that there are now mini castes numbering in the tens of thousands
Excellent video! I'll be using it in my 9th grade lesson in World Civilizations next Monday. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more videos.
+Joshua Crawford (Lily and Joshua) thanks for the kind words, I'm glad ur going to use the video. Check out the playlists & hopefully u can find others that facilitate what ur doing in the classroom
Hey nice video man ! Being a Hindu, i think you have done a pretty good job for an intro to our religion . However in this modern age our ways have changed a lot , even from our parent's generation , although the roots are same but the belief system etc are nothing but infused in our way of life , which is the hindu way . We dont worship frequently in the temples , we dont chant mantras and all , we just abide by the simple concept of Karma & Dharma in our daily life . Namaste (नमस्ते)
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) You have a shallow understanding of Hinduism Keith, I would suggest you to learn more about Hinduism and than remake a video. You can refer this book called Being Different by Rajiv Malhotra available on flipkart.
Many Hindus do still go to temple often, chant mantras, do asuna yoga, etc, etc. Worship for Hindus can change from person to person and different areas use different practices more than other. Saying Hindus do not do these things is silly. I'm saying this as a Hindu who goes to temple, chants mantras, does dhyana, and more. I'm a Shivabhakta.
Pretty cool! we are in Malaysia and there is a lot of people practicing Hinduism here. Its great to know a bit more about their religion. Thanks for sharing.
The name Hindu is given by Persians..meaning the people of Indus river.. Indu people/ Hindu. There is no religion called Hinduism. There is a way of living in this part of the world and that is called by the rest as Hinduism. Most of the things you will find in internet are not true as our cultural theories had been manipulated by British(eg. Aryan Invasion) and other invaders. Most of the things we find related to it today in internet( as this guy read) about so called the religion Hinduism is shit and manipulated.
@Emil Edlund Hinduism is not a religion but a Dharma or a "way/path of life". A person can believe in one Allah/god and still be a hindu or he can be an Atheist/agnostic and still be a hindu. It is called a religion because it is the closest concept that the west developed.
You have just simplified the Hindu Dharma to Hindus and Non Hindus in a very simple and informative ways for us all to ponder and fathom the inner self.Jai Shri Krishna!!!Jai Shree Rama!!!
Excellent, Mr. Hughes! It was moving, and very informative... Lord Krishna said, "And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships Me by his intelligence. And one who listens with faith and without envy becomes free from sinful reaction and attains to the planets where the pious dwell." BG 18:70-71 OM Tat Sat, AUM
Hinduism is an ocean where all rivers and seas meet. Its hard to say which river is in an ocean. Doesn't matter which religion you are following ,if are following your dharma properly you will realise god. Every one has their own interpretation of god which depends up on the river you take but every thing is truth which is hard to digest but its beautiful when understood.
@@headvodon2842 what makes Hinduism unique? -following any god you want without the fear of death. -following any path be it spiritual or a normal life without the fear of death. -being an atheist without the fear of death. -being a freind, wife,husband, of any person from every background without external interference. -we belive in universal brotherhood. vasudhaiva kutumbakam which means we all are Bros and sis. Be it a person from any background. Hare Krishna ❤️
I'd just like to say that along with the knowledge you have a really great stage presence that easily keeps me not just listening but paying full attention. Great job👍
I went through most of the relevant religions and ended up with Jesus, the most reliable person in history. eastern religions look allot like what satanists believe. to become God or be God. the lie of the snake.
There was never a caste system, it was a verna (class) system, where a group of people were classified in one of the four groups based on the work they did, it wasn't hierarchial. But unfortunately some people for their selfish reasons converted this into an hierarchial system.
caste system is to classify ppl by which job they do well misunderstanding of conception or ill fated social and economic mainly cause . a sweeper cant afford to talk to a king but a soldier/khestriya can . well dnt bully me hehhe this is what i thought . changed during the era of king or /capitalism . richer geta power to change n thet changed this . well British ppl controlled us they changed sati daha pratha .
Hinduism is not a religion, its just a name given by persians. Hinduism is name given by persians based on sindhu river.Before that it was called as Santhana dharma, which was based on Jaina dharma. Only Jaina dharma can give complete liberation of a soul. Jainism is the oldest dharma in the world.
Thank you so much for this Mr. Hip. Ive really wanted to know the basics of Hinduism and have collected info here and there but this puts it together for me. :)
Very good presentation of Hinduism in less than 10 minutes to Western audience but Hinduism is a complex religion. It requires several hours or days to get a good picture of Hinduism. One of the major criticism about Hinduism is that it is polytheistic. It is true that Hindus worship many deities or various manifestation of God but the ultimate truth is Brahman, Brahman has no forms, qualities or limitations. Only Brahman exists and nothing else. The highest Hindu philosophical thought is Advaita Vedanta of Shankara, that is worth studying to get a concept of God. Of course Hinduism has other schools of philosophy that covers even atheism. Sankhya philosophy closely related to Patanjali's yoga sutra is atheistic. Hinduism covers everything from polytheism to monotheism to atheism (one god, no god or many gods). This is a fascinating religion. Other than the caste system there is nothing much you can criticize about the Hindu beliefs because the primary intention of the religion is to search for truth and there are many ways.
Hindus believe in karma......When a hindu suffers or is blind, people offer help,well in that case the lame or blind should not be helped as it is karma and the person suffering is only paying the price for doing evil things in previous life....Then again hindus helping the person suffering are simply hindering the process of reincarnation as it is only his karma and they too will be punished in next life and will become shudras (low caste)again and it goes on and on.
@@allahrandi5508 no actually, if one helps someone that's a good deed. He is sure to get a better place in next life. Now the one who is helped if repays his debt as much as he can to the world, he gets a better social hierarchy
If u know so much about hinduism . Then how do u not know that caste system was not there until 12th century. It was added into by some dumbo. Originally, it has Varna. And it isn't based on someone's birth. Read the actual facts.
@@headvodon2842 look inward first. Also hinduism is always open to criticism and due to which many wrong practices have been eliminated from our society. The evils you mentioned in your comments were never part of our santan dharma. You need more detailed knowledge of hinduism. I think you are a victim of I'll information spread by Western media.
it's pretty interesting, because even though Hinduism is technically a Polytheistic religion, they still believe in the same concept as Christians do that there is one all powerful God who is also composed of separate beings. The holy trinity is pretty much the same thing as Brahman. This differs greatly from most polytheistic pagan religions which establish Gods as very distinct characters. I feel that Hinduism is a form of abstract spiritualism which focuses on the idea of a great creator as well as the many forms he/she has taken over the years.
Interstellar Lapis & the CCCP false concept. As a hindu ypu can pray to other gods separately, because these extensions are separate independent Gods that come out of the universal spiritualism. Christians believe in one single divine being that is made of three personages with one single consciousness. As such Jesus thought only what the Father thought, etc. Interesting fact is that the Hebrew Torah talks of a compound God and not a single God and that God appears to the Jews as YHWH (the father), the Angel of YHWH who was granted the power to forgive (Jesus?) and as the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit?).
if god is formel then why he is seating on a chair which was held by four-person and who is this four-person and if god is formless then how the son of God Jesus sitting on his lap....why he the god who is formless got tired after six-day work of creation of this world..if god of bible is everywhere and if he knows everything then why he don not know that Adam and eve going to eat that apple...if he is he the creator then why he told Jesus that earth is flat...if the god of bible is the actual god then why he did not talk about other planets....if domes day is real then what punishment God gives to a lifeless body....there is no concept of soul in bible then who is going to hell and heaven because you left you body here and when you are going to heaven....befor bible there is no Christian then what about those who died before Christianity to come where they go hell or heaven...what a child who died just after birth where he go hell or heven
Wow! 🤯 Thank you so much for this great, lively, wonderfully energetic introduction - it just helped me make some huge realization in my life journey! 🤩🙏💖
Yeah um fuck the caste system, as a Hindu and someone who was raised in a community where the caste system was pratised. I can say the caste system in no way represents Hinduism. Sadly the caste system is widely associated with Hinduism. The caste system is a social structure not a religious pratise. Overall a great video, unlike dozens of other videos on Hinduism which presented misinformation. Really enjoyed the video.
castes cant be totally erased even in christendom because well educated people will always be more respected than the illiterate...but in india caste has become a curse & now w. 1000s of castes it just makes the marriage gene pool smaller & more inbred...inbreeding weakens the person fizicle
allah Randi why? Just why? Why such hate? Can't we all learn to love everyone? How can one live with such hate inside their minds? Hope you find peace.
🙏🕉️☸️🛐 Follow your Dharma ✔️ Always remember Karma ✔️ Sanatan Dharma(Hinduism) : A way of Life . If there is some power (we call GOD) we believe it is "Param aatma" (Supreme Soul)
@@headvodon2842 okay idiot but you don't know one thing that Hinduism changes and changes very fast without changing basic structure,if you balls and you know who your father is then told me about the last sati happened in India. What you call superstitious is your illiteracy. Caste is something if you come to India will feel fading away and it's not 50 percent of what it was in last century, so we change
At half way through I was impressed with your accuracy 👍bet you might not know that even Hinduism became a religion based upon the knowledge that their ancestors had a direct connection with the cosmic conscienceness (God) the Holy Science
This is an old video but it should be pointed out that there is zero mention of any "untouchable" caste in the Vedas or any Hindu scriptures. This whole "untouchables" thing was manufactured by the British. I thought this was well known now but I guess a lot of people still think it has anything to do with Hinduism.
@Micro Piggyuh ok? You're trying to be a smartass but clearly have no clue about history. It literally started with the British Raj but of course your dumbass just wants any reason to hate on Indians or Hindus. Racist fuck.
wrong wrong totally wrong caste system is NOT by birth every one is born as shudra (without super knowledge) with dar smaskara i.e good deed effort and knowledge one can become bramin it's the the different stages of becoming enlightened i.e knowing true sense of Brahman. janmana jayate sudrah samskarat dwij uchchte veda pathnat bhavet viprah brahma janati iti brahmanah “By birth one is a sudra (lowest caste), by the purificatory process one becomes a dvija (higher caste), by study of the Vedas one becomes a vipra, and one who knows Brahman is a brahmana.”
This is an offer of salvation to everyone including untouchables. In the eyes of God everyone is equal. John 3 : 16 where the Bible says "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Cast system was completely false it is not existed from the beginning look God Krishna was born in lower cast. In Hindu caste will not desided your life style. It is bright in 1600 cast system incriced.
By this logic, whats the difference between being in the bottom caste, and someone that cliams to be closer to brahma. Arent we all equal in soul and mind. Or is hinduisim trying to make people claim they are perfect with study. If there is a God, there also CANT be other Gods. That just takes away from thier being one true almighty God. Praise Jesus for the truth.
Very well made. Your video on Judaism led me here. I was interested to see how a westerner would handle this topic and I think you've done a better job than most Indiands could. Great job man!
These videos are fantastic. Im using you as a source of info for our Unit of Inquiry into Beliefs.... I would LOVE to see you do something that discusses the actual system behind beliefs and links them with our values and attitudes.... You do an awesome job. Thanks so much.
Caste system is incorrectly explained. It isnt connected to karma. Its just devided according to thier job. And caste system or reservation was introduced by british not Hinduism.
What makes hinduism unique? -Casts -Superstitious things -Sati Pratha (Killing female if his male dies). None of them were introduced by British. But British stopped sati bullshit.
@@headvodon2842 Who gave YOU, an outsider, the authority to describe what is unique in Hinduism? 💀 The unique features of Hinduism are:- 1) Rebirth 2) Search for truth within, and out 3) There are many paths to the truth 4) Strive and be a righteous person how much you can.
That is not caste, it is called Varna system. The job you take over is your varna. If you are intellectual then you are brahman,if you are warrior then you are khashtriya,if you are business man or farmer then you are vaishya, if you dont do anything then you are sudra.
@@dhyangyan31 nope varna and caste are the same thing,caste is just what europeans called it.The varna/caste system became rigid and turned into the we know
For me I am on a spiritual journey and I came across Buddhism and Hinduism and both are very great religions they both have aspects that I really care about but it will sooner or later come down to what do I want to practice and thats what’s really hard for me right now
It's just a shame that at no time was "is it even true?" a factor, just that they have things you like or want. Basically it tells you what you want to hear. Comforting lies.
In reality they are not different religions, if you understand one you understand the other. Spirituality is universal, theres no such thing as Hindu religion, hinduism was a word created by the British when they colonized India, and buddha came out of “hindu” spirituality, he didnt create a new religion, he only gave us another approach to what the Vedas already teach, its not a seperate religion but a branch if you will, the core teaching is the same, its our attatchments that causes suffering, there is a solution to suffering, and the cessation of attatchments and ignorance is liberation from samsara, its the same understanding. I would recommend reading on Vedanta which is the knowledge of the Vedas and reading on Buddhism and youll see they are not really different religions, its is One truth but the sages call it by various names.
@@TagSpamCop lol if you think buddhism and Hinduism tells you things you want to hear that already tells me the surface level you have researched the actual teachings. The deeper you go the harder the blows are to your ego, no one wants to hear what the Vedas and Buddhism teach because we are comfortable living a life of sensual pleasures, lazyness, vices, selfishness, and not assuming total responsibility of our lives to ourselves. Again if you think hinduism is about caressing your ego and telling you things you want to hear, you’re in for a rude awakening, true understanding of the teachings of India means you know your ego will suffer when you take on the path and you must be prepared for that, very few go that deep, we like comforting lies, hinduism and buddhism doesnt care to comfort you with lies, its only aim is to free yourself from your bondage, no one is going to do it for you, you must change and do the effort. You are totally responsible for either your own misery or your own liberation, that alone is a truth most will never accept until they have suffered enough and finally seek the light.
Hinduism is not a religion, its just a name given by persians. Hinduism is name given by persians based on sindhu river.Before that it was called as Santhana dharma, which was based on Jaina dharma.

What does it mean to be Hindu? Or to be Buddhist? (I ask to the Hindu, and to the Buddhist, if you would care to answer. Thanks) And to the claim "Islam is the most peaceful religion". Islam in what sense? Following the teachings of the Quran? If that's the case then I'd say it's certainly one of the least peaceful religions.. e.g. th-cam.com/video/ifypJPNZ-hI/w-d-xo.html
Hey Keith, Hindu scriptures never mention Aryans as such, its a British interpretation to divide Indians. Also Righveda is the oldest book on Planet dating 3500 old from today. In India we had Genetic test and all ethnicity in India has same genes, either black, brown, curly haired, straight hair we all have same genes so the Aryan theory can be denied. Recent Scholars like Rajiv Malhotra and others have denied this Aryan thing.
MNS MUMBAI You are right.But it goes beyond that. Aryans are Indians who traveled from India to west after Saraswati river dries up in 4000 bce and they build civilization in the west. For Eg.Mayan civilization(south America) build by Maya who is a Dhanava(clan) from south India who Build the Indraprasta palace in Mahabharata.Arya in Sanskrit means "Noble one".
Jainism is the oldest religion in the world. Hindu word came from Afgans or the persians who gave name to the people after sindhu river, persians are the people of gulf or arabs, who tried to attack people of bharat, so people after sindhu river region are hindus. Before that people were called based on the dharma they follow like buddhist who worshiped buddha, Jains who worshipped Jineshwar, Shaivas who worshipped shiva, Vaishnavas who worshipped vishnu. Before Hindus name came to picture, people were called sanatana dharma, Jains started Sanatana Dharma, and Rig veda there is a mention of Adinath First Thirtankar of Jains who is avatar of Shiva with long hair. Vedas are based on Jain Scriptures. Tirupathi is Jain Neminath Temple, Madwacharya who was a saint converted 5000 Jaintemples in TN to Hindus Temples depicting Shiva or Vishnu.Most Popular Meenakshi temple is a Jain Temple and many others follow. Neminath is the brother of Sri Krishna who defeats krishna many times with much ease. Ram is a Jain, There is a seperate Ramayana in Jaininsm. Shiva is called Rishab dev in Jainism. Before India was called India, it was called as Bharat named after a king who ruled india who was first king who taught people irrigation, dharma.
+Keith Hughes Excellent Video! Very well made and factually very accurate. Cheers, you're on the right path by not misleading your viewers. May your deeds (karma) pave the way to your salvation.
Keith Hughes Haha, don't worry about that, like our dear friend here mentioned, sanskrit is hard to pronounce for non sanskrit speakers. Either way, you've done a brilliant job on this video, and even your video on Fascism. Keep up the good work :)
Also the caste system never exist in Vedas, cast was the way society was formed very similar to European countries like High Born or low born. Your Karma never decides which cast you are born in. Bec. many Hindu Gods are born in low cast also there have been low cast or low born rulers as well.
I heard this is a website Casteist- Brahman came from mouth and Shudra came from leg at inception. Rational Hindu- If Brahman came from mouth and Shudra from leg then: 1. Mouth produces saliva and remains dirty all the time. Leg, on the other hand is relatively purer, dry and odorless. So Shudras are purer than Brahmans. 2. We, in Hindu tradition, touch feet of our mother and elders. But we never touch their mouth or saliva! Many a times, we keep our head in their feet. It means, Brahman must bow down to Shudra in respect. 3. There is no proof of Brahman coming out from mouth and Shudra from leg. Every so-called Brahman possesses legs and not just head. Similarly every so-called Shudra possesses mouth and not just legs. 4. At inception? From where? Whose mouth and legs did Brahman and Shudra come from? Casteist- I don’t have answers for 1,2 and 3. But we all came from Eeshvar’s head and legs. Rational Hindu- Ok, is Eeshvar pure? Casteist- Yes, absolutely. Rational Hindu- Is any of His body-parts impure or inferior to the other? Casteist- No no, he is uniformly pure and perfect. Rational Hindu- So if His complete body is perfectly pure and equal, how does someone get inferior to the other just because the two came from equally pure mouth and legs of Eeshvar? Isn’t it that we all humans are Brahmans and Shudras at the same time? Casteist- Don’t have the answer. I am defeated. Rational Hindu- No, if you realize truth and equality, you are victorious. The end.
+Stephen Mark Bramhan from mouth and Shudra from leg all that is a part of example. A body of society is represented by a body of Purush or a Man. So mouth or brain becomes Bramhan, Hands become Kshtriyas or warriors, Stomach becomes Vaishyas or Traders and Legs become Shudras or hard workers or the most serving part of body which takes society from one height to another. We need to Understand Hinduism is more of symbolic and it is had been all about equality.
+Stephen Mark In Geeta Krishna Says I am Peepal among the trees, Chaitraatha among Gandharvas etc Here Shree Krishna tried to explain Arjun that he is gretest by giving example of Peepal compare to other trees, Chaithratha compare to other Gandharvas. If someone misinterprets as Peepal tree is an incration of Krishna its not Krishnas fault.
+Stephen Mark What I mean over here is Bramhan at some point in history played with the interpretation just like Church ruled the whole Europe sometimes back, also church ordered Spainish Army to kill Native Americans or Red Indians to kill as they don't have soul. Chruch suggestion for chastity belt etc Every society gets corrupted at some point or another and that does not mean that the fundamental values on which society was formed were corrupt.
+Stephen Mark The Anchor Keith has not borthered to research much about Hinduism, his video is an British interpretation of Hinduism or rather misinterpretation of Hinduism.
Hinduism: "Ekam evadvitiyam" "He is One only without a second." [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1] "Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah." "Of Him there are neither parents nor lord." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9] "Na tasya pratima asti" "There is no likeness of Him." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19] The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form: "Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam. ""His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20] So Idol worship is not in the Hindu Holy books. Idol worship was created by People. Therefore Idol worship is not Hinduism.
toilet cleaners came into existence during mogal era. it was very unfortunate that they got outcasted due to their jobs. but it was never the original set. also there is no caste system in hierarchy as all the four castes were treated equally. also it is river Ganga and not Ganges.
castes were not treated equally. Absolutely not. We are not even getting equal priority in civil service and board exams. I hope one day all of us considered equal.
You're kind of using the word "monism" wrong. Most Hindus are monist, but there are some dualist ones too. Monism doesn't really have anything to do with the existence of god/gods.
muslims have 72 caste in India and the Hindu caste has nothing to do with eg. 24 no. muslims popularly known as caubis numbari are wahabis.+ريان جبل
So what ? Every Indian is castist because all of them were Hindus once . that's the point . Muslim or Christian who cares ? All religions are flase including Hinduism
First of all we Hindus dont have any word call as Cast, its derived from Castos a portuguese word. Hindus have 4 varnas as social system and Jatis which describes a family lineage rest all is made up.
Jainism has Buddhism and Hinduism in its foundations , if you go through with the mythology , you'd be astonished to see RAM , Krishna , Shiva , Luv Kush , so many of the Hindu God's in Jain scriptures . but jains will never accept that fact . selfish guys !

To be clear the Caste System doesnt make us hate you. You are very much capable of change and we are all human. None of us are above you and deserve to treat you bad. You deserve respect too. Keep trying, I believe in you ❤😌
Congrats from a Hindu 4 a good exposition.A difficult task well done.Only thing, u could have mentioned the Bhagabad Gita,the Bible of the Hindus.Hardly any Hindu studies the Vedas.The Gita,however,is a different matter .
There is no initiation so to speak, it's kinda like if you don't believe in a god you can call yourself an Atheist, etc. There really isn't one religion or institution called Hinduism it is more of an umbrella term which encompasses many different tribal and ancient religions many of which emerged independently of one another but over time they agreed on some basic principles like karma, etc. Hinduism is kind of a culture/way of life as well ... many Indians share commonalities because of empires which ruled and unified cultures, etc. But at the same time they speak their own languages which can be mutually unintelligible. So you kind of have to be part of an ethnic community (one of thousands) who live their lifestyle according to set traditions. You could always marry into one though
By following the 4 Core Principles of Hinduism : -Dharma, Kama, Artha, Moksha. 1> Dharma -> Righteousness. Uphold the best principles of an Ideal person and support the Righteous and Truthful, Even if you have to go to war against your own siblings to defend the truth. Defend the Truth and the Truth shall defend you ! 2> Kama -> Sexuality. Enjoy your Sexuality, If you are Straight enjoy being straight, If you are Gay enjoy being Gay, If you like orgies enjoy orgies with many women (Kama-Sutra or the "Guide to Sexuality" was written by a Hindu Sage, It even described orgies with multiple women (With their consent of course). Enjoy your Sexual life to the fullest way possible !!! 3> Artha -> Meaning Find a meaning in your life, Devote your Life to a Purpose and accomplish this and never give up even if you die for it !!! It doesn't have to be something great, Just follow your Passion and work towards it. 4> Moksha -> Awakening Seek the Meaning of Life and World around you (Everyone have their own way of doing this, Like Buddha who left the comfort of his palace and went to Meditate to understate the ways of life and how he could help others). If you seek Spirituality from some other religion, thats fine too, Hinduism is the only religion that promotes worshiping ANY Gods or none at all. These are the only 4 Requirements of being a Hindu mentioned in Vedas. You don't even have to worship Hindu Gods to be a Hindu, You can be an Atheist or Christian or Muslim and still be a Good Hindu by following the above. But the most important among all the above is First Principal - Upholding Dharma (A Righteous way of Living ones life, Which means to live honestly, help others, Do Good to others and care about others, Not just humans but also animals).
As someone who has studied vedas and has some low caste ancestry, caste is not part of Hinduism! Even muslims and christians practiced the caste system in India. Why do some westerners blame Hinduism for caste oppression? Do they not know their own history? Before industrial revolution, the west had the same system, in which nobles oppressed peasants. Blacks in America suffered centuries of slavery and oppression like the outcastes of India. Was that because of Christianity? No! All over the world people with power have sometimes abused it, regardless of religious beliefs. Fortunately, with increased access to education caste system is dying, and virtually nonexistent in urban areas of India. Caste system is illegal in India, a mostly Hindu country. No society has been free from oppression and racial discrimination.
Pantheism, Henotheism, Monism - We believe in all of that but even we Hindus don't know which category we fall into. Someone please fucking invent a word. Its confusingly complex to teach our kids all this same shit again and again.
Hinduism is not a religion, its just a name given by persians. Hinduism is name given by persians based on sindhu river.Before that it was called as Santhana dharma, which was based on Jaina dharma. Only Jaina dharma can give complete liberation of a soul. Jainism is the oldest dharma in the world.
First of all, I am a Hindu as well, but many things the hindus claim I find them stupid. Caste system is indeed mentioned in Hindu scriptures. It's mentioned in rigveda, yajurveda, manu smriti, brahma sutra are you saying none of these are Hindu scriptures? Aryan invasion is not a myth it's the fact, majority of the historians still agrees with it. Also Hindu scriptures are not scientific. Sure they say there are nine planets, but there are only eight right now, also they count sun and moon as planets. And it doesn't say anywhere earth is spherical. To prove vedas are sacred, we don't need to squeeze science into it. Nor do we need it to show Hinduism is unique. Caste system is an issue in India that needs to be fixed. First step towards fixing a problem is accepting there's a problem.
You're mixing up the concept of Varnas and castes. The caste system did not exist until a few centuries ago. Also, each Varna or your supposed caste is of equal importance according to the Gita, as without any of the 4 castes society will collapse. Also, hindu scriptures are not science text books, Ancient India was at the forefront in Sciences thanks to scholars and scientists, not religion. The fact that the state and the religion encouraged freedom of thought and belief however may have played an important role in forwarding sciences.
I can pretty much say either you are not hindu or you did not read vedas. Caste system is no where mentiined in vedas. Caste system came with British. Khastriya, shudra etc in described scripures are occupations. One can go from one occupation to other. It is not by birth, it is by occupation one does. I can be shudra one day and go and join army and become khastriya. Brahmina just means intellect. Around british era it is made into a caste.
"It doesn't say anywhere earth is spherical"!!! Really? What is the word for geography in most Indian languages? As far as i know its "boo-gol". Boo for bhumi, gol is sphere.
Hinduism is the science of your being. It is study of human, from the bottom to its ultimate. Hinduism...is about your existemcial self. It si not about religion...it is about every single peice of life out thier and its secret. Hinduism explore ourself not through a book or a profet. But through your own inner exploration. Yoga, the science of knowing yourself above any belief system.
We are human. The most intelligences. We should find actually who we are actually and why we are suffering here. We should find ourselves through Hinduism.
aakksshhaayy thanks for your reply man. Tell me 1 thing, have u any desire still remain? You are rich it does not matter. If it remains then you are suffering to attain it.
You feel the need to impose your Jesus on everyone? This is why Hinduism should never be taught to close minded folks. Keep your beliefs to yourself and don't try to learn about Hinduism.
The term closest to explaining Hinduism's concept of 1 Universal Devine Soul Being/ Soul is embodied in Dvaita philosophy as one with innumerable attributes and one beyond all attributes as well.
We Hindus doesn't believe we have a souls we believe we are the souls and we have a body.
Boddu Lokesh it's called the soft body and many esoteric religions believe these, particularly hermiticism
I thought it was all one soul and our trouble stems from false sense of separation?

@Cult Leader when buddha attained enlightenment he went on to spread his teachings not start a religion. Many of the buddha followers were Hindus in India who later wrote about his teachings in Hindu scriptures. That is why Hinduism and Buddhism seems similar.
As a Dalit and a Sri Vaishnava I can say that there is not a single pasaage in the entire vedic literature which links Varna ( caste is a very crude translation ) to birth , with time it mutated into a wrong practice of rigid birth based varnas but now people are realizing that its not what the sages teach . The Varna system was a fluid social system where an individuals character and deed determined his/her varna . We have sages like Satyakam , Valmiki , Vyas ( the compiler of the Vedas) , Vishvamitra and others who became Brahmins but were not born to Brahmin parents.
Absolutely right
I also thinking if he was taking all Hindi words to make understand why didn't he used Varna instead of caste. caste itself is very hateful world.
Sahi bola re..!
Dharma View U r right varna was created on the base of Guna anda Karma,which means acording to his ability they should catagorise in order to maintain social activities and to avoid anarchy.Todays also in the whole word all people are divaided into four Varnas disragarding their birth base cateism.

There is one major thing that Hinduism does not provide, that is identity...
Your name is Olive Juice online but it is not your real name. You change forms from one to another due to reincarnation. Your name will also change when you are in a different form, meaning your real name isn't your real name either.
The only thing you can know about yourself is that you are a consciousness, but you don't know who you are... This is a major problem with Hinduism.
Christianity tells you exactly who you are. You are a daughter of God, a princess, you are loved. Jesus died for you, and you were worth it. We are kings and priests unto our God. We are the body of Christ. We are made one spirit with Jesus and joined together with him. We are forgiven and set free. We are set apart and are not of this world. We are sanctified and made holy. We are born again. God has raised us up and made us to sit with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
In Christ, we can know who we are.
In Hinduism, we cannot know who we are, and therefore we can never reach enlightenment...
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

What makes Hinduism unique and great?
Since Hinduism allows “Absolute freedom of thoughts & actions” and does not profess monopoly on God, truth or salvation.
Even an atheist has the right to condemn Hinduism in the public and still proudly say "I am a Hindu."
________________________________________
* Hindus respect all religions.
+ Hindus have no problem worshiping even in a church or mosque or in a synagogue.
* Hindus see their personal God in the personal gods of all other religions.
* Hinduism never ever proclaim monopoly on GOD or on TRUTH or on Salvation.
* You do not even have to be a Hindu to attain salvation.
* Rishis were scientists of ancient age. They even allowed people to condemn Hinduism in public. No Hindu was beaten up or killed.

So Winifred Jacob Hinduism open heartily welcomes you.

It is also given in VEDAS "how the first aeroplane will fly" in the form of a riddle and the first aeroplane is said to be flown by Shivkar Bapuji Talpade a scholar of Sanskrit literature and the Vedas who actually cracked that riddle.

JUST a small correction. The caste system has no religious basis. you will not find any Hindu scriptures which supports Caste system. It was originally introduced as a SOCIAL STRUCTURE rather than a RELIGIOUS BELIEF. Much like the Movie DIVERGENT the society was grouped into four classes based on persons skills or their profession i.e. Brahmins (priests), Kshyatriyas(Administrators), Vaishyas(Traders), Shudras(labourers). As the generations passed, because of increasing corruption the priests and administrators considered themselves superior to the other two classes. I am saying all this because The caste system has never been a RELIGIOUS BELIEF it was a SOCIAL STRUCTURE introduced in the ancient times which became a corrupt practice later on after many generations.!!!
Very true!
Insofar as the Rig Veda (c. 1200 B.C.E) is a religious text, the caste system has a religious basis. Considering that the varna is first mentioned here, specifically, in the tenth book of the Rig Veda known as the Purusha Sukta it seems like claiming it has a religious basis is warranted. Also, social structures often times fall within religious belief therefore it is unclear as to what the claim you posit even means. Often times, the social and cultural are inseparable from the religious.
Ankit Agarwal tjanks for that. That corruption means others do not feel they can follow it even if they felt ot made sense.
i hope that now as young people migrate to the huge cities to improve their lives they will marry mates from whatever caste
but the caste system seems to getting worse in that there are now mini castes numbering in the tens of thousands

Hey nice video man ! Being a Hindu, i think you have done a pretty good job for an intro to our religion . However in this modern age our ways have changed a lot , even from our parent's generation , although the roots are same but the belief system etc are nothing but infused in our way of life , which is the hindu way . We dont worship frequently in the temples , we dont chant mantras and all , we just abide by the simple concept of Karma & Dharma in our daily life . Namaste (नमस्ते)
Thank you for the kind comment and feedback. Namaste.
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) You have a shallow understanding of Hinduism Keith, I would suggest you to learn more about Hinduism and than remake a video.
You can refer this book called Being Different by Rajiv Malhotra available on flipkart.
Many Hindus do still go to temple often, chant mantras, do asuna yoga, etc, etc. Worship for Hindus can change from person to person and different areas use different practices more than other. Saying Hindus do not do these things is silly. I'm saying this as a Hindu who goes to temple, chants mantras, does dhyana, and more. I'm a Shivabhakta.

The name Hindu is given by Persians..meaning the people of Indus river.. Indu people/ Hindu. There is no religion called Hinduism. There is a way of living in this part of the world and that is called by the rest as Hinduism. Most of the things you will find in internet are not true as our cultural theories had been manipulated by British(eg. Aryan Invasion) and other invaders. Most of the things we find related to it today in internet( as this guy read) about so called the religion Hinduism is shit and manipulated.
@Emil Edlund Hinduism is not a religion but a Dharma or a "way/path of life". A person can believe in one Allah/god and still be a hindu or he can be an Atheist/agnostic and still be a hindu. It is called a religion because it is the closest concept that the west developed.
You have just simplified the Hindu Dharma to Hindus and Non Hindus in a very simple and informative ways for us all to ponder and fathom the inner self.Jai Shri Krishna!!!Jai Shree Rama!!!
Thank you for the explanation, fact: we must understand each other’s belief and not judge as we all seek for the truth
Excellent, Mr. Hughes! It was moving, and very informative... Lord Krishna said, "And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships Me by his intelligence. And one who listens with faith and without envy becomes free from sinful reaction and attains to the planets where the pious dwell." BG 18:70-71 OM Tat Sat, AUM
Hinduism is an ocean where all rivers and seas meet. Its hard to say which river is in an ocean. Doesn't matter which religion you are following ,if are following your dharma properly you will realise god. Every one has their own interpretation of god which depends up on the river you take but every thing is truth which is hard to digest but its beautiful when understood.

Very good presentation of Hinduism in less than 10 minutes to Western audience but Hinduism is a complex religion. It requires several hours or days to get a good picture of Hinduism. One of the major criticism about Hinduism is that it is polytheistic. It is true that Hindus worship many deities or various manifestation of God but the ultimate truth is
Brahman, Brahman has no forms, qualities or limitations. Only Brahman exists and nothing else. The highest Hindu philosophical thought is Advaita Vedanta of Shankara, that is worth studying to get a concept of God. Of course Hinduism has other schools of philosophy that covers even atheism. Sankhya philosophy closely related to Patanjali's yoga sutra is atheistic. Hinduism covers everything from polytheism to monotheism to atheism (one god, no god or many gods). This is a fascinating religion. Other than the caste system there is nothing much you can criticize about the Hindu beliefs because the primary intention of the religion is to search for truth and there are many ways.

Hindus believe in karma......When a hindu suffers or is blind, people offer help,well in that case the lame or blind should not be helped as it is karma and the person suffering is only paying the price for doing evil things in previous life....Then again hindus helping the person suffering are simply hindering the process of reincarnation as it is only his karma and they too will be punished in next life and will become shudras (low caste)again and it goes on and on.

Indeed!! Didn't say that it wasn't.
it's pretty interesting, because even though Hinduism is technically a Polytheistic religion, they still believe in the same concept as Christians do that there is one all powerful God who is also composed of separate beings. The holy trinity is pretty much the same thing as Brahman. This differs greatly from most polytheistic pagan religions which establish Gods as very distinct characters. I feel that Hinduism is a form of abstract spiritualism which focuses on the idea of a great creator as well as the many forms he/she has taken over the years.
Interstellar Lapis & the CCCP false concept. As a hindu ypu can pray to other gods separately, because these extensions are separate independent Gods that come out of the universal spiritualism.
Christians believe in one single divine being that is made of three personages with one single consciousness. As such Jesus thought only what the Father thought, etc.
Interesting fact is that the Hebrew Torah talks of a compound God and not a single God and that God appears to the Jews as YHWH (the father), the Angel of YHWH who was granted the power to forgive (Jesus?) and as the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit?).

What makes hinduism unique?
-Casts
-Superstitious things
-Sati Pratha
(Killing female if her male dies).
Old shit smells bad.
@@headvodon2842 okay idiot but you don't know one thing that Hinduism changes and changes very fast without changing basic structure,if you balls and you know who your father is then told me about the last sati happened in India. What you call superstitious is your illiteracy. Caste is something if you come to India will feel fading away and it's not 50 percent of what it was in last century, so we change
@@headvodon2842I consider others but sati prathi is not authentic one this is the migrated one by the punishment of a king .
At half way through I was impressed with your accuracy 👍bet you might not know that even Hinduism became a religion based upon the knowledge that their ancestors had a direct connection with the cosmic conscienceness (God) the Holy Science
This is an old video but it should be pointed out that there is zero mention of any "untouchable" caste in the Vedas or any Hindu scriptures. This whole "untouchables" thing was manufactured by the British. I thought this was well known now but I guess a lot of people still think it has anything to do with Hinduism.
@Micro Piggyuh ok? You're trying to be a smartass but clearly have no clue about history. It literally started with the British Raj but of course your dumbass just wants any reason to hate on Indians or Hindus. Racist fuck.
wrong wrong totally wrong caste system is NOT by birth every one is born as shudra (without super knowledge) with dar smaskara i.e good deed effort and knowledge one can become bramin it's the the different stages of becoming enlightened i.e knowing true sense of Brahman.
janmana jayate sudrah
samskarat dwij uchchte
veda pathnat bhavet viprah
brahma janati iti brahmanah
“By birth one is a sudra (lowest caste), by the purificatory
process one becomes a dvija (higher caste), by study of the
Vedas one becomes a vipra, and one who knows Brahman is
a brahmana.”
This is an offer of salvation to everyone including untouchables. In the eyes of God everyone is equal. John 3 : 16 where the Bible says "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Cast system was completely false it is not existed from the beginning look God Krishna was born in lower cast. In Hindu caste will not desided your life style. It is bright in 1600 cast system incriced.
U are paria by birth
By this logic, whats the difference between being in the bottom caste, and someone that cliams to be closer to brahma. Arent we all equal in soul and mind. Or is hinduisim trying to make people claim they are perfect with study. If there is a God, there also CANT be other Gods. That just takes away from thier being one true almighty God. Praise Jesus for the truth.

I really like the way you cut to the point and don't take ages to explain one small point. Thank you!
Caste system is incorrectly explained. It isnt connected to karma. Its just devided according to thier job. And caste system or reservation was introduced by british not Hinduism.
I learned it came from Arabs

None of them were introduced by British.
But British stopped sati bullshit.
@@headvodon2842 Who gave YOU, an outsider, the authority to describe what is unique in Hinduism? 💀
The unique features of Hinduism are:-
1) Rebirth
2) Search for truth within, and out
3) There are many paths to the truth
4) Strive and be a righteous person how much you can.
That is not caste, it is called Varna system. The job you take over is your varna. If you are intellectual then you are brahman,if you are warrior then you are khashtriya,if you are business man or farmer then you are vaishya, if you dont do anything then you are sudra.
caste = varna
@@diymadan with due respect Varna and caste are different.
@@dhyangyan31 nope varna and caste are the same thing,caste is just what europeans called it.The varna/caste system became rigid and turned into the we know
It would be considered Cosmic rather then mono or polytheistic.
Great video, thank you for your time in making these. Keep producing and I will keep watching.
I liked this video with just the introduction alone! Great way to catch the attention of the audience and keeping the material lively.
For me I am on a spiritual journey and I came across Buddhism and Hinduism and both are very great religions they both have aspects that I really care about but it will sooner or later come down to what do I want to practice and thats what’s really hard for me right now
It's just a shame that at no time was "is it even true?" a factor, just that they have things you like or want. Basically it tells you what you want to hear. Comforting lies.
You should first take an overall look of all the religions, and follow what seems comfortable to you.
In reality they are not different religions, if you understand one you understand the other. Spirituality is universal, theres no such thing as Hindu religion, hinduism was a word created by the British when they colonized India, and buddha came out of “hindu” spirituality, he didnt create a new religion, he only gave us another approach to what the Vedas already teach, its not a seperate religion but a branch if you will, the core teaching is the same, its our attatchments that causes suffering, there is a solution to suffering, and the cessation of attatchments and ignorance is liberation from samsara, its the same understanding. I would recommend reading on Vedanta which is the knowledge of the Vedas and reading on Buddhism and youll see they are not really different religions, its is One truth but the sages call it by various names.
@@TagSpamCop lol if you think buddhism and Hinduism tells you things you want to hear that already tells me the surface level you have researched the actual teachings. The deeper you go the harder the blows are to your ego, no one wants to hear what the Vedas and Buddhism teach because we are comfortable living a life of sensual pleasures, lazyness, vices, selfishness, and not assuming total responsibility of our lives to ourselves. Again if you think hinduism is about caressing your ego and telling you things you want to hear, you’re in for a rude awakening, true understanding of the teachings of India means you know your ego will suffer when you take on the path and you must be prepared for that, very few go that deep, we like comforting lies, hinduism and buddhism doesnt care to comfort you with lies, its only aim is to free yourself from your bondage, no one is going to do it for you, you must change and do the effort. You are totally responsible for either your own misery or your own liberation, that alone is a truth most will never accept until they have suffered enough and finally seek the light.
@@ilikestarsun wow this is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Hinduism is not a religion, its just a name given by persians. Hinduism is name given by persians based on sindhu river.Before that it was called as Santhana dharma, which was based on Jaina dharma. Only Jaina dharma can give complete liberation of a soul.

What does it mean to be Hindu? Or to be Buddhist? (I ask to the Hindu, and to the Buddhist, if you would care to answer. Thanks)
And to the claim "Islam is the most peaceful religion". Islam in what sense? Following the teachings of the Quran? If that's the case then I'd say it's certainly one of the least peaceful religions.. e.g. th-cam.com/video/ifypJPNZ-hI/w-d-xo.html
Twisted Crab, Jainism is actually statistically considered the most peaceful religion in the world
Hey Keith, Hindu scriptures never mention Aryans as such, its a British interpretation to divide Indians.
Also Righveda is the oldest book on Planet dating 3500 old from today.
In India we had Genetic test and all ethnicity in India has same genes, either black, brown, curly haired, straight hair we all have same genes so the Aryan theory can be denied.
Recent Scholars like Rajiv Malhotra and others have denied this Aryan thing.
MNS MUMBAI jesus is the king of all kings
MNS MUMBAI You are right.But it goes beyond that. Aryans are Indians who traveled from India to west after Saraswati river dries up in 4000 bce and they build civilization in the west. For Eg.Mayan civilization(south America) build by Maya who is a Dhanava(clan) from south India who Build the Indraprasta palace in Mahabharata.Arya in Sanskrit means "Noble one".
MNS MUMBAI I am a tribal of India not Aryan
Jainism is the oldest religion in the world. Hindu word came from Afgans or the persians who gave name to the people after sindhu river, persians are the people of gulf or arabs, who tried to attack people of bharat, so people after sindhu river region are hindus. Before that people were called based on the dharma they follow like buddhist who worshiped buddha, Jains who worshipped Jineshwar, Shaivas who worshipped shiva, Vaishnavas who worshipped vishnu. Before Hindus name came to picture, people were called sanatana dharma, Jains started Sanatana Dharma, and Rig veda there is a mention of Adinath First Thirtankar of Jains who is avatar of Shiva with long hair. Vedas are based on Jain Scriptures. Tirupathi is Jain Neminath Temple, Madwacharya who was a saint converted 5000 Jaintemples in TN to Hindus Temples depicting Shiva or Vishnu.Most Popular Meenakshi temple is a Jain Temple and many others follow. Neminath is the brother of Sri Krishna who defeats krishna many times with much ease. Ram is a Jain, There is a seperate Ramayana in Jaininsm. Shiva is called Rishab dev in Jainism. Before India was called India, it was called as Bharat named after a king who ruled india who was first king who taught people irrigation, dharma.

Siddhartha, were castes given colors. Or are the colors given according to the birth path or chart of the person?
Sanatan Dharma follower ONE ESHWER
I love this. I am using this for my World History Class.
Wow! Now I see why caste is such a hard thing to break free from. This was very informative. Thanks
Also the caste system never exist in Vedas, cast was the way society was formed very similar to European countries like High Born or low born. Your Karma never decides which cast you are born in. Bec. many Hindu Gods are born in low cast also there have been low cast or low born rulers as well.
I heard this is a website
Casteist- Brahman came from mouth and Shudra came from leg at inception.
Rational Hindu- If Brahman came from mouth and Shudra from leg then:
1. Mouth produces saliva and remains dirty all the time. Leg, on the other hand is relatively purer, dry and odorless. So Shudras are purer than Brahmans.
2. We, in Hindu tradition, touch feet of our mother and elders. But we never touch their mouth or saliva! Many a times, we keep our head in their feet. It means, Brahman must bow down to Shudra in respect.
3. There is no proof of Brahman coming out from mouth and Shudra from leg. Every so-called Brahman possesses legs and not just head. Similarly every so-called Shudra possesses mouth and not just legs.
4. At inception? From where? Whose mouth and legs did Brahman and Shudra come from?
Casteist- I don’t have answers for 1,2 and 3. But we all came from Eeshvar’s head and legs.
Rational Hindu- Ok, is Eeshvar pure?
Casteist- Yes, absolutely.
Rational Hindu- Is any of His body-parts impure or inferior to the other?
Casteist- No no, he is uniformly pure and perfect.
Rational Hindu- So if His complete body is perfectly pure and equal, how does someone get inferior to the other just because the two came from equally pure mouth and legs of Eeshvar? Isn’t it that we all humans are Brahmans and Shudras at the same time?
Casteist- Don’t have the answer. I am defeated.
Rational Hindu- No, if you realize truth and equality, you are victorious.
The end.
+Stephen Mark Bramhan from mouth and Shudra from leg all that is a part of example.
A body of society is represented by a body of Purush or a Man.
So mouth or brain becomes Bramhan, Hands become Kshtriyas or warriors, Stomach becomes Vaishyas or Traders and Legs become Shudras or hard workers or the most serving part of body which takes society from one height to another.
We need to Understand Hinduism is more of symbolic and it is had been all about equality.
+Stephen Mark In Geeta Krishna Says I am Peepal among the trees, Chaitraatha among Gandharvas etc
Here Shree Krishna tried to explain Arjun that he is gretest by giving example of Peepal compare to other trees, Chaithratha compare to other Gandharvas.
If someone misinterprets as Peepal tree is an incration of Krishna its not Krishnas fault.
+Stephen Mark What I mean over here is Bramhan at some point in history played with the interpretation just like Church ruled the whole Europe sometimes back, also church ordered Spainish Army to kill Native Americans or Red Indians to kill as they don't have soul.
Chruch suggestion for chastity belt etc
Every society gets corrupted at some point or another and that does not mean that the fundamental values on which society was formed were corrupt.
+Stephen Mark The Anchor Keith has not borthered to research much about Hinduism, his video is an British interpretation of Hinduism or rather misinterpretation of Hinduism.
Hinduism: "Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without a second."
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1] "Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
"Of Him there are neither parents nor lord."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9] "Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no likeness of Him."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19] The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form: "Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam. ""His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20] So Idol worship is not in the Hindu Holy books. Idol worship was created by People. Therefore Idol worship is not Hinduism.
if u think idols are god, u r wrong.
We worship idols because of Consciousness involved in it.Our temples are energy centers and ancient one are good.
+tuki sam he mens oneness of Allah/god.
remove philosophy from mohavarat or geeta & look full scenario what you will get??
toilet cleaners came into existence during mogal era. it was very unfortunate that they got outcasted due to their jobs. but it was never the original set. also there is no caste system in hierarchy as all the four castes were treated equally.
also it is river Ganga and not Ganges.
castes were not treated equally. Absolutely not. We are not even getting equal priority in civil service and board exams. I hope one day all of us considered equal.

Hinduism is Monistic. That is the word for it. Not Monotheistic, not polytheistic, but Monism is the root term
You're kind of using the word "monism" wrong. Most Hindus are monist, but there are some dualist ones too. Monism doesn't really have anything to do with the existence of god/gods.
Nice video man! This has helped me get a much better understanding 🙌 let’s just hope I don’t fail now🤞😂

Even non hindus were considered as untouchables, include britishers and Muslims as well.
Anyways modern society of Hindus are based on modern values.
In hinduism, major sect like shivaism there is no caste system. in some muslim and christian in india there are caste system.
Because they were Hindus before their new religion . don't you think ?
muslims have 72 caste in India and the Hindu caste has nothing to do with eg. 24 no. muslims popularly known as caubis numbari are wahabis.+ريان جبل
So what ? Every Indian is castist because all of them were Hindus once . that's the point . Muslim or Christian who cares ? All religions are flase including Hinduism
First of all we Hindus dont have any word call as Cast, its derived from Castos a portuguese word.
Hindus have 4 varnas as social system and Jatis which describes a family lineage rest all is made up.
Jainism is the oldest philosophy knows to us, as far as my looking into its anthropology as gone lol
Jainism, as most credible historians and theologians would agree, came after Hinduism.
Jainism has Buddhism and Hinduism in its foundations , if you go through with the mythology , you'd be astonished to see RAM , Krishna , Shiva , Luv Kush , so many of the Hindu God's in Jain scriptures . but jains will never accept that fact . selfish guys !

I want to escape samsara
then you want annihilation
Sansaar not samsara.
Be. a yogi..
Don't escape. Live this life to the fullest. Do good karma means deeds and you will certainly get moksha.
how can i join the religion
There is no initiation so to speak, it's kinda like if you don't believe in a god you can call yourself an Atheist, etc. There really isn't one religion or institution called Hinduism it is more of an umbrella term which encompasses many different tribal and ancient religions many of which emerged independently of one another but over time they agreed on some basic principles like karma, etc. Hinduism is kind of a culture/way of life as well ... many Indians share commonalities because of empires which ruled and unified cultures, etc. But at the same time they speak their own languages which can be mutually unintelligible. So you kind of have to be part of an ethnic community (one of thousands) who live their lifestyle according to set traditions. You could always marry into one though
By following the 4 Core Principles of Hinduism : -Dharma, Kama, Artha, Moksha.
1> Dharma -> Righteousness.
Uphold the best principles of an Ideal person and support the Righteous and Truthful, Even if you have to go to war against your own siblings to defend the truth. Defend the Truth and the Truth shall defend you !
2> Kama -> Sexuality.
Enjoy your Sexuality, If you are Straight enjoy being straight, If you are Gay enjoy being Gay, If you like orgies enjoy orgies with many women (Kama-Sutra or the "Guide to Sexuality" was written by a Hindu Sage, It even described orgies with multiple women (With their consent of course). Enjoy your Sexual life to the fullest way possible !!!
3> Artha -> Meaning
Find a meaning in your life, Devote your Life to a Purpose and accomplish this and never give up even if you die for it !!! It doesn't have to be something great, Just follow your Passion and work towards it.
4> Moksha -> Awakening
Seek the Meaning of Life and World around you (Everyone have their own way of doing this, Like Buddha who left the comfort of his palace and went to Meditate to understate the ways of life and how he could help others). If you seek Spirituality from some other religion, thats fine too, Hinduism is the only religion that promotes worshiping ANY Gods or none at all.
These are the only 4 Requirements of being a Hindu mentioned in Vedas. You don't even have to worship Hindu Gods to be a Hindu, You can be an Atheist or Christian or Muslim and still be a Good Hindu by following the above. But the most important among all the above is First Principal - Upholding Dharma (A Righteous way of Living ones life, Which means to live honestly, help others, Do Good to others and care about others, Not just humans but also animals).
enjoy your sexuality by having orgies? that is nonesense.
Seek the truth urself
U can't get converted to Hindu
Jay Mata Di
That was awesome!!!!!!
I love your videos! Thank you!!!
As someone who has studied vedas and has some low caste ancestry, caste is not part of Hinduism! Even muslims and christians practiced the caste system in India. Why do some westerners blame Hinduism for caste oppression? Do they not know their own history? Before industrial revolution, the west had the same system, in which nobles oppressed peasants. Blacks in America suffered centuries of slavery and oppression like the outcastes of India. Was that because of Christianity? No! All over the world people with power have sometimes abused it, regardless of religious beliefs. Fortunately, with increased access to education caste system is dying, and virtually nonexistent in urban areas of India. Caste system is illegal in India, a mostly Hindu country. No society has been free from oppression and racial discrimination.
The word is pantheism that you were looking for in this video.
Pantheism, Henotheism, Monism - We believe in all of that but even we Hindus don't know which category we fall into. Someone please fucking invent a word. Its confusingly complex to teach our kids all this same shit again and again.
Hinduism is not a religion, its just a name given by persians. Hinduism is name given by persians based on sindhu river.Before that it was called as Santhana dharma, which was based on Jaina dharma. Only Jaina dharma can give complete liberation of a soul. Jainism is the oldest dharma in the world.
First of all, I am a Hindu as well, but many things the hindus claim I find them stupid.
Caste system is indeed mentioned in Hindu scriptures. It's mentioned in rigveda, yajurveda, manu smriti, brahma sutra are you saying none of these are Hindu scriptures?
Aryan invasion is not a myth it's the fact, majority of the historians still agrees with it. Also Hindu scriptures are not scientific. Sure they say there are nine planets, but there are only eight right now, also they count sun and moon as planets. And it doesn't say anywhere earth is spherical.
To prove vedas are sacred, we don't need to squeeze science into it. Nor do we need it to show Hinduism is unique. Caste system is an issue in India that needs to be fixed. First step towards fixing a problem is accepting there's a problem.
Ashwin Ms can you give links or references in the Vedas?
Note: Caste and Varna system are different.
You're mixing up the concept of Varnas and castes. The caste system did not exist until a few centuries ago. Also, each Varna or your supposed caste is of equal importance according to the Gita, as without any of the 4 castes society will collapse. Also, hindu scriptures are not science text books, Ancient India was at the forefront in Sciences thanks to scholars and scientists, not religion. The fact that the state and the religion encouraged freedom of thought and belief however may have played an important role in forwarding sciences.
I can pretty much say either you are not hindu or you did not read vedas. Caste system is no where mentiined in vedas. Caste system came with British. Khastriya, shudra etc in described scripures are occupations. One can go from one occupation to other. It is not by birth, it is by occupation one does. I can be shudra one day and go and join army and become khastriya. Brahmina just means intellect. Around british era it is made into a caste.
Manusmriti does mention varna's, not castes. And the Vedas mention neither. Castes is a very recent term compared to varnas.
"It doesn't say anywhere earth is spherical"!!! Really? What is the word for geography in most Indian languages? As far as i know its "boo-gol". Boo for bhumi, gol is sphere.
Hinduism is the science of your being. It is study of human, from the bottom to its ultimate. Hinduism...is about your existemcial self. It si not about religion...it is about every single peice of life out thier and its secret. Hinduism explore ourself not through a book or a profet. But through your own inner exploration. Yoga, the science of knowing yourself above any belief system.
Hinduism is not of beliefs it's of seeking... knowing the Truth and Ultimate liberation is the goal..

You feel the need to impose your Jesus on everyone? This is why Hinduism should never be taught to close minded folks. Keep your beliefs to yourself and don't try to learn about Hinduism.
The term closest to explaining Hinduism's concept of 1 Universal Devine Soul Being/ Soul is embodied in Dvaita philosophy as one with innumerable attributes and one beyond all attributes as well.
