It is heartening to know that the professor and his like have started to acknowledge that It was Hindu thought which influenced the Greek . On the other hand our curricula from school to the university only harp about the Greek influence on Indian thought.
it is so curious to me that the catholics in India would have been turned off by "idol worship" when their own churches are full of saints. How could they not see the parallel ?
All the jain monks are not naked sadhus, the monks. It is a branch. The monks who stays naked are known as Digamber means no ambers, without clothes.The other part is shwetamber, who wears shwet ambers meaning white clothing. Digambers are very less compared to shwetambers due to social reason.
If this had included a good section on the Transcendentalists, it would have been a fantastic introduction. I don't agree that Bhaktivedanta was more of an influence than Vivekananda, or that Gandhi was more more of an influence than Vivekananda. Vivekananda taught religious universalism and pluralism, Gandhi brought political ideas to America's heroes Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez. Bhaktivedanta brought kirtan which became the gospel of the counterculture. Bhaktivedanta, Vivekananda and Abhedananda, and Gandhi all brought vegetarianism. Too bad you left out the Transcendentalists-- a lynchpin for the American counter-cultural throught. Neem Karoli Baba was also a huge influence.
😂vivekanada ate meat...read his biography...No one agrees with his stupid philosophy...Ramanjunacharya,madhvacharya,nibarka swami,chaitanya mahaprabhu no one agree with foolish ideology of vivekananda ....He went in opposite direction of Bhagavad gita..
If the critique of Swami Vivekananda was that he chose just one aspect of Hindu thought because that's what the west wanted to hear, then I would argue that it was Sri Ramakrishna who embodied the totality of the Hindu thought, by encompassing not only the width and depth of Hindu doctrines and practices, but also the non-Hindu ones. His was the most syncretic approach that spanned across spiritual spectrum... 'as many views, so many ways (to divinity)'.
So all British philosophers who came to India before 1813, to defame Hindu dharma became its greatest exponents. After 1813, British occupation was complete. So their arrogance became dominant. Now they started Evangelism
The speaker is Wrong,Vivakanand was one of the greatest nationalist India produced. He wept tears of blood at the suffering of his people, at the loss of sanskars under the yolk of British tyranny. His words "ARISE AWAKE MY PEOPLE" echo among people who want to revolutionise India again to true Dharma
I am doing research on T S Eliot . Especially the influence of Indian Thought and Sanskrit on his poetry . You mentioned he studied Sanskrit and Upanishad in Harvard in 1912 for a year . You were about to mention further on it when you moved on to other things . Can you let me know the other things that you wanted to mention along with the source of your research .
The 4 varnas called those who studied the vedas and holy scriptures Brahmins. That must be all they do. Same with the other 3. This enables the maximum excellence in the 4 varnas or class. However you can jump into any class as per your ability. Later this was corrupted by the ruling class.
The Greeks became philosophical through their contact with the Magi Zoroastrians while under the Achaemenid rule of Ionia and Lydia. Prior to the Persian contact Greeks had no philosophy, this is a historical fact.
I was very interested until the 12:15. Where he connected Brahmins of Alexander’s time to caste wasn’t very academic of him! Awfully reductive potentially biased 😮
Why are you saying the same thing again and again, don't you have any other thing to say. Doctor becomes are doctor only when you study and practice not by just being son of a doctor without studying and practice...
Gandhi was greatly influenced by Christ too. Gandhi said, "“All I had then been given to understand was that to be a Christian was to have a brandy bottle in one hand and beef in the other. The Sermon on the Mount, however, falsified the impression. I saw that the Sermon on the Mount was the whole of Christianity. It is that Sermon which has endeared Jesus to me.”
the speaker is extraordinarily ignorant... tries to piece together a narrative of his own interpretations of things ( which r really a perpetuation of orientalist biases ) without considering the trajectory of historical development. I would advise caution while listening.
dont think he had any knowledge of hinduism.....just promoting his crooked way of thinking and connecting think and trying to prove hinduism is not that special its kindoff ok....

Teresa is not good personality she came here with different mindset
Yaa recent days those truths r being revealed from those masks...

Great talk. Thank you very much!

So East India Company before 1813 were more secular and appreciative of Hindu traditions than British govt, queen

Brahman is not caste it's varna or colour of soul
God conciousness is only pure soul, human soul is not 100%pure thats why we have four varnas
'To hold the opinion of Pythagoras' Transmigration of the soul.
Thoreau lived at Walden Pond, not Emerson

Very good study .
Who pushed the greek philosophy, obviously it is the European since they conquered the world with chinese gunpowder. 😊
Fredrick vom Schlegel thinks everything arises from India .
Which books do you recommend us to buy to learn about Hindu history and its influence on the west ?
Please see srijantalks you tube channel for detailed videos on Hinduism. It's excellent and the presenters are researchers and authors
He is great but I can't understand the Indian accent imitation. Surely, it's politically unacceptable/racist!

why always a Foreigner is giving lectures....where are Indians...they are always for hosting.

Which Indian can give lectures? Oxford is a foreign university not Indian.
he is his grace rishi shaunka das of iskcon.....he gives gita and bhagavatam classes in iskcon temples in delhi.....search for his videos.
Why do you want to talk on a subject that you don't know anything about? So I ascribe dirty motives to your speech.
