I received a clear cut understanding on this subject matter after I associated myself to an Iskcon center near me.
Dr. Rishi Handa, thank you for your talk and very well explained about our ancient Indian systems! It's truly amazing. So is your talk!
What an extraordinary explanation which makes so much sense. Wonderful presentation!
Greetings from Denmark
This is a fantastic talk which sadly hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. 👍💐
Dr Rhishi Handa explains in a Modern contemporary language the
the ancient knowledge of 🇮🇳 it’s literature along with Bhagwat Gita 📕
So simply and beautifully. 🙏🥰
🕉️ 🇮🇳😇
Excellent presentation!🙏👌
The best English translation of the Gita (in my opinion - and i read a few...)
and the most faithful to the intention of the speaker of the Gita - Sri Krishna - is
the Bhagavad Gita As It Is
by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami
Nothing comes close!
This rendition wins hands down!
See for yourself!
And enjoy!!!
Magnificent explanation, superb explicit understanding, outstanding lectures, Mind-blowing talk
Excellent and profound presentation. Thank you!
First and Foremost thing to stop bhaichara is to unfriend peacefuls on social media platforms and remove them from contact list. If we do not do this then we accept bhaichara which is an start of our defeat

They’re not right wing. They’re simply not left.
Gyan(Knowledge) is information about creator, Vigyan ( Science ) is knowledge about creation.
Brahma Kumaris describes the Time Cycle which moves from Golden Age to Iron Age and then Eternal Cycle restarts at Golden Age.
Amazing work, need to spread this information, especially in India
Great talk, one suggestion, we all should use the word "Sanatana Dharma" instead of Hinduism.
aham brahmasmi
im an eternal spirit soul
the witness, the 'seer'
i see using my eyes
and listening using my ears.
im not my body
''I have a body''
or more precisely
I, the soul, am imprisoned inside my ageing, diseased prone body.
as soon as Im born i begin to die.
every second brings me closer to death.
yet i the jivatma am unborn, undying, ever-existing & primaeval
the atman (jiva) must be eternal, coz no beginning means no end.
beginning (creation) means end (destruction).
immortality does not stand to logic.
one may believe in the immortality of the soul, and that's fine, hundreds of millions do
but it's a belief.
we must respect the beliefs of others, especially if these do no harm & contribute to someone's wellbeing
in the same way as i'd expect others to respect my beliefs.
some scientists believe in the existence of the world outside of our minds
it's a belief.
we cannot prove this
if we try we'd engage in circular reasoning.
yet this belief works in practice.
namaste
salaam aleikum
sat sri akaal
hare krishna
namaskar
Accurate analysis, welldone
🕉️
The festival of bharat you must check these intellectuals background as many foreign funded researchars claims that gita is not recited to arjun by shrikrishna but it's later added by different peoples.
excellent topic and presentation. Horrible ads every minute. not helpful to follow trail of presentation.
Video owners pls stop ads during presentation. Thanks
He is amazing ! More power to sanatan , our ancient Vedic culture.
Taught the "Mantra" to invoke Brahmastra - Irrational mythology
Invented the "Equation" for Trans Warp Beaming - Star trek - Scientific fiction
Thanks!
No worries
🙏🙏🙏
Body has only 5 main senses, but mind has 21 senses. you have to control the mental senses. Mind has most powerful influence on our existence and pleasure.
It's simply beyond the Abrahamic book-worshippers and followers of illogical beliefs.
We should start telling devis and devas instead of gods and goddess.
Sanskrit is non translatable.
If one logically thinks step by step, then on scientific basis both "1 God" claim of abrahmics & "0 God" claim of atheists are impossible & only Advaita (nonduality) described by Sanatan Dharma i.e Hindutva holds true. Here is my reasoning:
"1 God" claim of abrahmics says that an uncreated conscious source referring to itself as "1 true God" created us i.e. created our consciousness. But this means that consciousness can be created which in turn contradicts the claim of that "1 true God" being the uncreated conscious source since "his" consciousness then must also have been created and thus we enter into an infinite regression in which no conscious entity can claim to be the creator of other conscious entities thus destroying the claim of that "1 true God" & abrahmics.
"0 God" claim of atheists says that there is no conscious source. This means insentience is at the core but this means that in absence of any trigger and any material, absolutely no movement is ever possible in infinite emptiness and since all fundamental particles are vibrations or movement in infinite emptiness, none of them should ever exist let alone their combination (like brain) accidently producing consciousness. But as per atheists insentient matter, whose source is not known & which should not even exist, intelligently organises itself as universe and then intelligently assembles itself into various species with reproductive capabilities and only after all this intelligent organization in those species, consciousness suddenly sparks as an emergent property. Since intelligence is a property of consciousness hence if we scrutinise atheists' arguments then intelligence is preceding consciousness, which is laughable. This destroys the argument of atheists.
Now as per western logic these are the only two possibilities and based on these two they have their left wing and right wing politics too. But we have rejected both as shown above. So there must be something wrong with western logic and there is indeed. "1 true God" and "0 God or no conscious source" are not the mutually exhaustive possibilities. The correct mutually exhaustive possibilites are "no conscious source" and "conscious source". Thus though we have completely rejected the possibility of "no conscious source" but so far we have only rejected the abrahmic claim from the possibility of "conscious source" which means if we want to know the nature of conscious source and its relation to us and matter then we will have to dig deeper as the abrahmic claim of "1 true God" doesn't have any truth in it.
So lets dig deeper by analysing the brahmand(universe) we live in. We live in a brahmand of dvait(duality) i.e. purusha[subject/observer] and prakriti[object(matter)/observed] i.e. we see things that are different from us and this phenomenon of me and others (other subjects as well as objects) is known as dvait. Now since we have just proven that there is a conscious source then why that conscious source didn't think that there is a higher consciousness just like we think? The only logical answer to this must be that contrary to our observation of dvait, it did not see anything or anyone which was different from it i.e. for which it itself was not the trigger and the material cause both. So when it saw something or someone, it itself was that something and someone and when it saw nothing, then it itself was nothing i.e. complete stillness/emptiness. In essence whatever it thought it became i.e. Drishti-Srishti. Essentially what we have just proven is that the source consciousness is infinitely pervading and infinite potential shakti (energy) that is self aware and thus can manifest itself in infinite forms i.e. mathematically speaking Shunya(0)=Purna(∞). We have also proven that since you can't create or destroy absolute emptiness, hence this self aware infinite potential energy that Hindus refer to as Brahman is neither created(ajanma) nor can be destroyed(avinashi) & is thus timeless(anaadi). This state is also desireless because since there is nothing different from it hence there is nothing to desire for. Thats why renunciation or freeing the mind of desires is used as one of the methods to achieve this non dual desireless state or Moksha. This is the paramarthik satya of Advaita that Adi Shanakaracharya described in his work. Now the next question is that how from this state of Advaita the emergence of dvaita happens.
Dvaita means that there is an observer which thinks that there is something different from it. Thus the observer will need to be limited in order for other entities to exist. But since Brahman(source consciousness) is infinite & advaita (i.e. no difference between subject and object) and thus there can be nothing else apart from it hence the only way to manifest such a limited observer is when Brahman limits itself under self imposed avidya of having limited energy and creates an illusion of dvaita for that limited observer. Now since we have already proven that Brahman is advaita and thus ananta/avyaya(infinite), ajanma(uncreated) and avinashi(can never be destroyed), how many such limited observers (limited conscious energy) can it manifest? The answer obviously is potentially infinite. Now we can relate this to the Purnamadah Purnamidam shloka from the Ishavasya Upanishad.
Now since purusha and prakriti are the only manifested entities in the universe, this means that the trigger and material cause for both must be Brahman(source consciousness) only. This implies that from Brahman's point of view it is advait (nondual) with both purusha and prakriti and purusha and prakriti are nothing but its anshik (fractional) manifestations only [Gita chapter 10/Gita 15.7]. Thus purusha is not something different from Brahman and thus purusha is nothing but a localized/limited manifestation of Brahman and the only possible reason that would make purusha think that prakriti is different from it, must be because of the self imposed avidya(ignorance) without which the maya (illusion) of duality cannot happen. In essence what we have proved is that this brahmand is simply a simulation of dvait and thus is only a VYAVAHARIK SATYA (empirical/relative truth) and not PARAMARTHIK SATYA (absolute truth). Also it is because of this dvait, vasanas(desires) originate in the mind of purusha as the vasanas are nothing but our effort to acquire or avoid an entity that is different (i.e. dvait) from us. Thus to fulfil those desires based in dvait, purusha (only nimitt karan and not upadan karan) gets bound to prakriti & takes rebirths and gets caught in the karmic cycle(mental & physical actions) or sansara. This also proves that unless purusha realizes that it itself is the infinite desireless state of advaita or Brahman (upadan and nimitt karan both), vasanas will always arise in purusha, as the root of vasanas is in dvait and the root of dvait is in self imposed avidya. Thus purusha will always take punarjanma(rebirth) to fulfill those vasanas and the punarjanmas will happen in various yonis (species) and in various lokas based on its gunas (sat, raj or tam) and karma. The law of karma here is the only fair rule that can be used in dvaita as all purushas are nothing but a limited version of Brahman under self imposed avidya and thus Brahman has no reason to favour or detest any purusha and thus what any purusha gets (good or bad results) must only be based on its own current & prior actions (including those of previous births) [Gita 9.29].
This is the level of vyavaharik satya where the dvait of not only purusha and prakriti but also of purusha and Brahman (in unmanifest or in infinite manifest forms) is true where purusha is the KARTA and Brahman is the SAKSHI & KARMAFALA DAATA. This matches with the two bird analogy of Adi Shankaracharya. But once the desires & karma is dissolved and avidya is removed by conscious efforts of purusha, the maya(illusion) of a separate identity or dvaita is dissolved and purusha(atman/limited & localized consciousness) merges back into Brahman(Absolute or infinite consciousness). This merger is called Moksha/Nirvana/Kaivalya etc and the process of merger is known as Yoga (To unite/join/merge with the absolute truth i.e Brahman).
Shri Krishna says the same in Gita and Vidyagita chapter of Tripura Rahasya (often quoted by Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi) makes it absolutely clear. Modern science has also realized this in half when it says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. All is left for science to understand is that energy (referred to by Hindus as Brahman) is also conscious/selfaware, is the basis of all motion and manifestations & thus can manifest itself in infinite forms. Hindus call this infinite conscious energy or Brahman in its potential state as Shiva and in kinetic state (as brahmand i.e. manifested universe) as Shakti. Upanishads confirm this and Shri Krishna also says the same in Gita chapter 10.
Shiva (infinite conscious energy appearing as emptiness/stillness i.e consciousness not showing any signs of motion) and Shakti or Shiva's dance (infinite conscious energy appearing as brahmand/prakriti i.e. consciousness with motion) appear to be different to purusha (limited conscious energy) only at the level of vyavharik satya because of self imposed avidya of having only limited shakti (limited energy). At the paramarthik level, Shiva and Shakti are the same i.e. Brahman (infinite conscious energy)=Shiva=Shakti as depicted in the Ardhanarishwar rupa in Sanatan Dharma/Hindutva.
Bro pls start a channel and post in community . Many ppl will miss this detailed in the comments
Truth Seeker 1. Hindu/Vedic tradition does NOT have the concept of "god" based on monotheism.
If you want to compare and validate Abrahamic religions and Hindu/Vedic tradition, you have to look at their core
The monotheistic core of Abrahamic religions simply says that there is just a transcendent god who is totally disconnected from the universe but still can create the universe and its "laws of nature" out of thin air and override them (whenever wanted) and control everything by just using a magic wand😊. Monotheism cannot be validated.
In other words, none of the Abrahamic religions were built around any well validated metaphysics...It led to needless prophets/middlemen/son of god/messiah, angels, blind belief in a book. nonexistent heaven/hell, fantasy stories (propagated as history), proselytization, and half-baked responsibilities towards nature and discrimination/violence against (non-believers) due to lack of understanding of dharma (one should abide by natural law by following ethics, duty, virtue), law of Karma or cause and effect, reincarnation (birth/death duality cycle of humans) and Moksha (microcosm to macrocosm)
2. But Hindu/Vedic tradition based on the well validated Vedic metaphysics Sankhya says that there is nothing other than the conscious, immortal, immutable, self-luminous, immanent (conscious self), transcendent and omnipresent cosmic self and its intelligent energy. Hindus use cosmic allegories Shiva or Vishnu or Brahma for the immanent and omnipresent conscious self and Shakthi or Lakshmi or Saraswathi for intelligent energy. Husband and wife cannot exist without each other. So, they always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles of nature to happen eg Birth/decay (including human reincarnation cycle), manifestation and concealment duality cycle of the universe (not creation or destruction of the universe), wave/particle, energy/matter, wake/sleep, man/woman, summer/winter, freezing/melting .etc
This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics (around which the whole hindu tradition was built including temple tradition, yoga and tantra) which can be validated by logic, double slit quantum experiment and embodied experience (focus and meditation)
it also means TAT TVAM ASI, meaning You (conscious and immanent self) are (already) that (conscious, omnipresent and transcendent cosmic self) regardless of whether there is 'self-realization" or not because without the non-dual self, nothing can exist or nothing can be perceived in its current form, or no duality cycles of nature can happen. Identification with thoughts and body is just an illusion created by avidya (lack of knowledge), wrong assumption that the body is the experiencer of 5 senses not the conscious self (which is NOT the doer) and ahamkara or ego (sense of I)..Conscious and omnipresent self is like a silk thread which goes through different pearls (animate and inanimate) if you think in terms of an analogy.
Sankhya Vedic metaphysics (mentioned by Sri Krishna in 6000 yr old Bhagavad Gita) combines Advaitha (nondual and conscious Shiva) and Dvaitha (duality capable Shakthi or intelligent energy). Advaitha and Dvaitha are INCOMPLETE without each other.
3. Hindu/Vedas say the consciousness is an attribute of the immanent self (just like heat is an attribute of fire and the sun) It is because of the immanent and omnipresent self there is consciousness in the psycho-physical body. But in Abrahamic religions there is no connection between consciousness and the soul.
ERWIN SCHRODINGER (ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS) Schrodinger's biographer Moore wrote -- “His system - or that of the Hindu Upanishads/Vedas - is delightful and consistent: the self and the world are one and they are all. He rejected traditional western religious beliefs (Jewish, Christian, and Islamic) not on the basis of any reasoned argument, nor even with an expression of emotional antipathy, for he loved to use religious expressions and metaphors, but simply by saying that they are naïve--and will NOT understand Quantum theory and consciousness. (CONSCIOUS, IMMANENT AND OMNIPRESENT SELF = SHIVA and THOUGHTS/BODY/W0RLD/UNIVERSE = SHAKTHI OR THE INTELLIGENT ENERGY)
Erwin Schrodinger wrote: “Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.”
Truth Seeker It also means, stone deities (or Murthies) in Hindu temples are not for "worship or prayer". Stone deities in hindu temples are for 2 reasons.
a. They are used as objects of attraction (so given bath, food and dressed up) for focus and meditation in the presence of Sanskrit mantra vibrations, augmented by temple architecture and sanctum sanctorum (space where deities are kept). So, hindu temples are seen as powerful energy centers.
This technique is for reaching samadhi state which is nothing but the disappearance of perception of subject (ego self) and object (external world or the deity focused upon) split momentarily (temple tradition) or temporarily and permanently (in Yoga tradition) to remove past karma or cause and effect (stored in the subtle body Chitta) and stop reincarnation (birth/death duality cycle) or to fulfill desires with reduced karmic burden
b. Stone deities are also symbolic representations of the well validated Vedic metaphysics Sankhya, nature (surya, chandra devatas etc) and laws of nature (Karma, Dharma devatas etc).
c. Some of the rituals are also symbolic like offering flowers (to give up memories), bananas (for giving up attachments to anything achieved) and breaking coconuts (giving up ego). As far as "ritual powder" or Vibhuti is concerned, it is nothing, but ash applied on the forehead. It is interpreted either as a symbolic reminder that this body is temporary and will be eventually cremated or just to show that in expanded states of consciousness (so called opening of third eye) one can get cosmic experience.(which is equivalent to manifesting matter)
@@Dharmicaction You are correct and that is exactly why I rejected the abrahmic cult straightaway. Their "1 true god" doesn't even know that "he" is not the upadaan kaaran. If "he" knew that simple fact then he would not command his minions to break idols, as idols are nothing but a form of prakriti which has to be advait (non dual) with the source and that's why "he" cannot be the source. Thus "he" is nothing but a liar who is lying for "his" tamsic self interest.
@@Dharmicaction You have understood and explained it beautifully.
