I was not privileged to be born in India, (had done bad things and was born in the worst time in Germany when whole humanity was at stake) but fate was generous and I found my better half in India and she taught me. I read the works of Sri Aurobindo and of the Mother (who came from France). In this way I learned that India is the Mother of all nations. She could not take up her work as there is the partition. So, we outsiders are interested that Mother India becomes united.
I visited India many times - since 1965 and felt a lack of pride. This is the cause that Indians are still enslaved by the English mentality and structures. To me the English language is so boring, missing the beauty of the German language. But terrible is clinging to inch, foot, yard, once, troy ounce etc. not to speak of the missing ingenious DIN norms and worst of all is the English education system.
Well, one outstanding fact in India is the unbelievable brilliant intelligence. In the west we have got the jews who are more intelligent than all others. But Indian intelligence is by far higher. I wish you all more pride and elimination of stupid English structures of society. Last not least I pray to the Divine Mother for the unity of India.

@@alloutwar2409 yeah it is much more different..

[@saptarshiroy8548]

very immature praising..despite of being an indian i find it very immature..india is just like any other country..it has all things..good bad and ugly.

[@RAIRADIO]

@@saptarshiroy8548 not really... india is the only uninterrupted civilization today. You dont understand what a massive undertaking it is, both in terms of longevity, resistence to constant attacks, and fluidity of thought and diversity. Do many religions and schools of thought yet there is an unspoken mutual respect. People range from vegans to red meat eaters, but there is acceptance. There are naga sadhus and vivekanda like top to toe covered swamis - all living out the same inner message. India is badly broken by both caste and invasions, but there is no diverse unified force like India. Everything John Lennon sang in the song Imagine, India showed its possible.

[@faree38green]

An enlightened individual. Excellent conversation.

[@jitukhatrik]

He is a genius ... Rajiv Malhotra is intellectual warrior..but transformation through ideas makrandji is bringing is amazing...

[@saptarshiroy8548]

different genre

[@chinmaypurohit3431]

Paranjpe is way better than Malhotra.

[@gvbhnnnnnnhh]

@@chinmaypurohit3431 no both of them have immense credit to their names. Rajivji's work on the ides stolen by Westerns is really good and extensive. Professor Makarand has written amazing books and his intellect is praiseworthy. I urge you to check out Rajiv Malhotra's video about " the u turn theory"

[@Najmi107]

you Indians so lucky to have such intellectuals but I am afraid to say such people still haven't their true space to be cherished at the level of masses as some of far left and rights have and negatively impact the mindsets of youth.

[@rajurathor4598]

That was a wonderful talk. Makrandji was as good as ever.
Just one thing - the name of book by Madhva is "Sarv-Darsana-Samgraha" Not "Sarv-Dharm-Samgrah"

[@Sam-iu4sn]

It’s a sort of samadhi listening to Prof. Paranjape. 🙏

[@mistery4437]

A superlative discussion with a superlative scholar.

[@vidyawitch]

Thank u!

[@AnyaChuri]

Thank you so much for this

[@girijajoshi3419]

Kushal ji, thank you for this enlightening talk with Prof Paranjape. Conversations like this should find their way in our public as well as private spaces. The new National Education Policy needs the insights of Prof. Paranjape as a thinker n educator to make the impact it wishes to... Will be listening to this conversation again and again - to learn, reflect and assimilate the breakthroughs from this lecture...

[@thrinethran2885]

You should found a University, Makarandj.

[@AnyaChuri]

His latest work is 'Body Offering'.

[@piyushpaltiwale1058]

What scientifically proven can be disproven....for example Gravity is explained not as a force by Albert Einstein. New gene research denies Aryan Invasion theory. Anyway, we can more deep and deep into the philosophy as much as we want or like and can contemplate.... knowledge will keep changing its shape.size and color and its never ending process. As long i am alive i can do comparisons. What we can do is only imagine.

This is kaliyug and it stands only on truth. Why assume right wing is taking the falsehood?! I would wish to believe that right wing is either ignorant or very novice to have fallen pray to a false claim (at the max), a genuine right wing should never give way to falsehood for sure.

[@Jo-yb8cl]

Hi Kushal I just stumbled across your channel. But I cannot find the Carvaka podcast in Google Podcasts app. Can you please make the arrangements for the same??

Charwack means i
one who lives like an animal with only few biological needs.

[@bababistril]

That's straw Manning ,
the other darashanas in Hinduism before debating with carvak ideology did steel Manning if their point of view not straw Manning ,
