Thank you very much for sharing . Got to know many important unknown parts of vedic history.🙏💖 This teachings , knowledges never gets viral, sad part. Even to know them is important I am feeling, interest for Indian history would increase
When someone unfamiliar with the culture, historical context and meaning of a text, interprets the text, they can't help but inject their own inner beliefs and biases into the interpretation. So Max Muller can't help but bring Abrahmic concepts of gods, sacrifices and prayers into his interpretation. Same for other indologists. We need a deeper study into those times, their practices, their beliefs, their geography and daily routines/seasonal routines before we are able to interpret what they are saying. It would require an immersion into the lives of those times and their thoughts. And yet we might be doing an inadequate job.
Are upanishads mantras arranged in a way, like the vedas, so that chanting them has an "effect" regardless if the listener knows Sanskrit? Or are only the vedas like this?
Kind of hard to understand. Makes little sense to try reading it if you have no deeper knowledge of veda and vedanta at all. It helps to have a teacher who helps to make sense of it.
Any academic worth their salt has to tip their hat to the philological work Müller did. Dismissing his abilities and contributions to the field is as ignorant as any dismisal Müller has of eastern religion. Maybe you should finish the video. Swami is learned and well-spoken. Don't let your prejudices hinder you.

Sashtang pronam Maharaj! So beautifully explained that simpleton like me can understand also!
Thank you swamiji for these beautiful reflections which lay a strong foundation for my spiritual growth and discipline!
Pranam Swamiji. This is an excellent overview of Rig Veda.
Thank you Swamiji! 🙏
Tks maharaj
Very well said Swamiji about worshiping any god but the practice should reflect in interacting with the world[People etc] 18:00. Hari Om!
Kapeesh 🙏

The Rig Veda... I’ve never heard of it before. Is it any good?
Watch the speech and analyze for yourself
Oldest religious book on the planet....... Don't know man but that kinda makes it a hot shot

Come here with a high expectation. That moment you praise the Max Muller is enough to stop the video..you lose a subscriber today.
