- In history textbooks, Alexander is usually referred to as Alexander the Great. But was he really, or was he something else? Sadhguru speaks about the only intelligent thing Alexander did in his life.

The man who conquers others is strong,
the man who conquers himself is mighty.
then I guess Alexander was strong and mighty
Definitely but others like some can't agree his mighty abilities instead they condemn ones mighty deeds (by people whom did nothing)
Thats why Alexander was the greatest he was strong and mighty
Ironically, this is something similar Alexander had said.
@Saswat Dev He was mighty because he conquered first his passions and obsessions' . Read the dialoge between Alexander the Great and philosopher Diogenis ( a philosopher who had similar life like yogis) and the you will understand that he had awareness of his life!!!!!!!! He conquered the whole world very very young and this man had an already intergrated an PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This helps me to process my mom's death in a more sense full way. To just accept that death is not a thing to be sad or be sorry about. Death is inevitable. What is important is to live a fulfilling life. I think my mom did so. At least I would want to think so. Thank you.
Love for you and your mom wherever she is.. may God bless every mom in this world
Very sensible comment Sir.
Treat it like a new birth. Read esoterica and widen your soul. You live in society of pain, find God then get back to the society
Your mom is still alive in you, she is not dead, you are a part of her because she made you.
@@Rrahulkumarr thank you for those line. Yes my mom is alive through me.
“Whatever possession we gain by our sword cannot be sure or lasting, but the love gained by kindness and moderation is certain and durable.”
-Alexander😢😢
then why conquer by sword? :D
Do you not think that Alexander might have took more credit than what he did?
To those who think Alexander the great was really brilliant, because he was taught by Aristotle. Arisrotle was taught by Plato. Plato believed the brain was the center of thought, while Aristotle thought the brain was a cooling chamber.
Nah that's Alexander word it's you
He is immortal.
The king that fought alongside his soldiers
Alexander gained immortality in the sense that we all remember his name
Alexander was made a Son of a Egyptian God in his Lifetime.
It’s not immortality tho. Sure, his name stays for centuries, but later he will be forgotten. If not in another few centuries, then at the end of humanity for sure.
@@thequant2817 thanks, captain pedantry.
Don't you have a party to go sour?
Like john doe.
He was a small guy, only 1.50 tall
Taught by Aristotle, made a similar visit to Diogenes, traveled to Siwa... he was clearly a man in search of something beyond merely conquering.
exactly
he's salty he was conquered
@@ivankontra3446 true :/
Hmm dont really remember being conquered. After his experience with Puru (Porus) i guess Alexander realised Chandragupta Maurya was better left alone ;)
@@mamba24281 Chandragupta wasn't even in power then. And his battle with Porus was not very difficult, he left because he wanted to ;-)
"Alexander conquered for no reason". The fact that Persia tried to conquer Hellas so many times is just a coincidence.
Ignore that indian biased boomer
@@bitik9847 Yet some idiots actually take these videos seriously.
"so many times" Twice. AFTER Athens staged the Ionian revolt.
@@MrSurvivalgecoLP Twice full invasions and 50 years of wars. But hey...whatever.And the "revolt"...do you mean the try to free themselves from the prevuious ocupation by the persians in that fifty years wars? Cos you know that west part of Anatolia was greek at that time right?
Alexander just took revenge what the persians did to his ancestors for years .
"I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." - Alexander The Great
Nice story and lesson, but in reality Alexander perhaps wasn't at all drown toward the idea of immortality judging by his quote.
That is what demons say before they are defeated by god
@Anonymous A every single one
no it is the truth the reason to come to bharat was that he heard the wisdom of RiSHiS saints he came in that search
@@geetadaswani1570 If he was on expedition for searching immortality - he would behave differently. The true is - he was on war campaign in India - his dream was to conquer the world. He meet Dandamis occasionally, this doesn't makes sense to be his goal - searching of immortality.
Having subdued Syria, Egypt, and Persia, he next marched to invade India. For Alexander, the invasion of India was a natural consequence of his subjugation of the Achaemenid Empire, as the areas of the Indus valley had long been under Achaemenid control, since the Achaemenid conquest of the Indus Valley circa 515 BC. *Alexander was only taking possession of territories which he had obtained from the Achaemenids, and now considered rightfully his own.*
Making good quotes doesn't make someone smarter...untill the quote is his own.
And you never know that about Alexander.!
In the end, Alexander did become Immortal!
"If I were not Alexander the Great, I would like to be Diogenes." This is the most insightful precept that every common man should adhere to.
PewDiePie ka video dekha tha kabhi Diogene ki biopic vala!!!
Good luck there is at least one person here who knows Diogenes.
Excellent example... Similar approach of the Cynical philosopher Diogenes before Great Alexander reached the Great Country of India.
@@davesanthri exactly. This man thinks he knows everything about Alexander. He doesn't

Good luck
I don't understand why they call Alexander the great in our text books, When he had to retreat from it his successor Selecus was badly defeated by Chandragupta and Chanakya.
Not just greeks but Sycthians, Iranians, Sakas, Hunas all were defeated but our textbooks only show us Mughals and British.
Well...it's not surprising at all. What to expect from british education system?
Indians are finally waking up. Our children will have a brighter future.
Basically you didnt studied enough , we studied about them in our history classes
These issues or problems which Indians are facing are not only in India but all over the world. They hide all the real truth about us, all the glories about us, portrayed us as weak, bad and etc, etc by changing or distorting the real history. I'm a Malaysian Indian & here too they have changed the whole history. We can't find the real history in any of our history text books and school text books either here in Malaysia. In Malaysia, ancient Indian have a great influence in terms of language, culture, tradition, dance, food, architecture, governance system and etc, etc... But they have destroyed, hide and changed many things. Today's history books are full of lies and yes it's a sad reality.
However in this modern age with modern technology they can't hide all the truth any longer and I feel very thankful for that. Slowy people all over the world will realize the real history and the real truth about India and Indians who been living in all parts of the world 🙏
@@saipraba8775 Sadhghuru also gives faulse information and i don't understand what is his purpose behind this cause HE know s the truth very well..... Unless if he follows also a dark agenda. Cause it is not as he says.... The British and the Dark alliance they hate Alexander cause they run after them till India. But they don't say it ... Cause there were some of their tribes there. So Dark;s forces history as they gave it to the world....they presented him as a guy that he conquere the worlds...which is not true.... Just what they wanted us to believe. Search deeper in ur REAL history of ur lands and u will find out much more things.
One who accepts death is a true conqueror who has come full circle

It's a village burning in the distance: Alexander the great
When Alexander came to Diogenes the Philospher and offered him everything. "Yes," said Diogenes, "you can step aside a little so as not to keep the sunshine from me."
I suppose he didn't offer him everything, but asked what he could do for him.
@@akashkaushik1 That´s one way of the story. In my mother tongue the story goes that Alexander said "Ask anything from me and you will get it" and Diogenes said "Get out of my sight"

Yes. Because of the dilution of these due to foreign invasion. Ironically we boast of diversity but diversity has taken a toll on our rich ancient heritage
True...
And you never will, because we read what west wrote, we eat what west ate, we follow what west did.
Our culture was much better and developed than that of west but during colonialism history was manipulated in such a way that our generation even doesn't know about what our culture was
That was the point of his video
Maneendra Singh agreed. But it is changing. Slowly, but awareness about our history is brightening! British education system has to go and books have to be inclusive of Bharat history, not what the invaders wrote, but what we know. Faith, brother, faith.

Wow!!! Grape 🍇
He was called great becuz of his territory expansion. And we all know how dumb was Aristotle
🙄
Abhigya Smiti - There have been many geniuses in the world, and a few super geniuses. Aristotle was undoubtedly head and shoulders above the rest - the greatest super genius of them all. Intelligence is commonplace, genius is rare; the ability to recognize it, rarer still: it is called wisdom.

Thanks for being polite. Shri Jag Vas speaks the ultimate truth.
WMC the point is not believing the stories but the message is
the question is not real,the question is serving the '' proud'' of the guru... The guru is too proud to be free from the human passions... He has no dignity..! Full of egoism

Feels like I’m watching a scene from idiocracy.
The word “hello” used is the most powerful.
i dont understand,can you explain
Yes please explain it??
When guru ji uses “hello” he grabs my attention. He empowers the whole speech. I never knew we could use hello like that.
@@dorjiphalam that's right.
@KIM JONG UN Humans have different senses through which they can grab attention for example in a conversation if someone is not bothered to listen to you you'll use words like excuse me! or hello! with more intense tone of voice so that people notice the seriousness in your voice. This works with a lot of people however, if it doesn't work.for you fret not maybe some other words could grab your attention.

My eyes got filled with tears when Sadhguru ended the story. Such a nice message it gave. We should live our life sensibly. 🥰🙂😌🙏
Truth, not a story.
U got me. 😭
A long time before Alexander: proud men on horses entered India and brought with them the origins of current religions and language; interbred and set up the cast system. Same thing happened across Europe. every human being that is alive today should thank their ancestors that were intelligent and brave in battle. We are pathetic without the warrior instinct.
nature favours the strong and brave, your weak attempts to gain the moral high ground is akin to standing on a huge pile of dung. The foundation is faeces, it stinks and you're sinking.

His suffering was one of great loneliness and impatience with those who didn't understand what he was trying to achieve. His generals instantly started fighting among themselves as soon as he died. Alexander was great because his vision was of one world ruled by one king, where wars would not exist, where all cultures of the world would come together to form one mega culture based on the hellenic civilization. He was truly an anamoly in history, we cave in to pressure, we do what others are doing, we strive for personal gains and benefits. What alexander wanted to achieve was much grander than any of us can even imagine, had he achieved it, he would have literally acted as a god. No man in history has achieved more than what alexander did in 10 short years
Alexander is truly Great.He had a great philosopher as his teacher.He had enormous courage and strength to conquer the world.He shattered a great empire of his time.whatever he desired,he got on his order.He showed people what is the source of power.He led a god like life till he died.He was not a preacher like sadh Guru who has acquired prosperity through his disciples and leading a luxurious life which is against the saintly ethos of lndian philosophy.Sadh guru just entertains affluent disciples and not serve genuinely humanity
.
I think you are mad because you think you can get what ever you want with power but it is not true, if it was true then Alexander would never regretted the life he lead
this courage and strength that you are valuing is of a tyrant. not of a good human
Great quote by sadhguru " yoga is not about eternal life, but yoga is about sensible life".
Before that I don't know about sadhguru but now I have become a huge fan.
Actually if he could speaking always thought and teachings about Enternal life God will be happy walaiiiiiii
There’s No Eternal Life So That Makes Sense!
Alexander the Great brought a piece of Greece to the east. Back in those days it was all about conquering. You can't judge those times by modern day standards. Plus India and Greece are allies now.
It was not about conquering, but his thoughts about immortality. Watch carefully and understand what he is saying.
It was about the immortality thing bruh watch it clearly
Standards don't matter !
The fact is that Alexander was a warlord who was in the same league as Genghis Khan.

Alexander and Diogenes
Story tells so deep meaning of life
I love that story. Diogenes is a huge inspiration.
Alexander was great because he lead a tiny nation of warriors who for centuries were mistreated by the might of the Persian empire, and the Greeks conquered that empire and beyond. Also this would not have been possible without the work of his father Philip who unified the free Greeks and revolutionized its way of warfare. It would be the same as if Finland conquered Russia or Vietnam conquered China, and all that in one short lifetime...
Good to remember, one cannot mention Alexander without Philip, and his mother . . . and Aristotle, a father of Western Civilization.
👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
You clearly missed the point - why was it necessary to conquer anyone/anything at all? Genghis Khan started with even less and slaughtered/conquered substantially more… he’s not called great. This is a western perspective only.
But in movies it shows that king Philip was a drunkard
@@toofanish Every nation in this world that was and is was build on conquering lands and peoples. India is a great example of that throughout history.

This is the greatest lesson I've
ever learnt.

I sincerely hope you are young and will find lot more to learn. Its good to appreciate that like Midas legend - getting what you want is not necessarily a good thing, immortality isnt so hot either. Its also important to understand, that these are only stories and there is no way such things are technically possible by drinking a liquid.
So you dont really have to worried about it at all.
Your guru has read the story of Alexander the Great. Obviously he didn't had study in depth his story. Egypt, Persians, Greeks were in love with him. Why? Because he battled their armies not the ppl. He didn't enslave anyone. Most of the times he left the same rulers to rule their ppl but with his laws. Many Persians followed him because they saw a king who was,for the first time, FOR THE PEOPLE. He was the first man who wanted to have a unite kingdom, and ppl not saying I'm Greek, Persian, Egyptian, Babylonian etc. That's why he wanted to marry Greeks with all the others. Obviously your guru is a man of love not HISTORY. DON'T MIX THINGS.

As a Greek I always had great admiration and respect for all things Indian, from the Nargish films that we all watched as children at the cinema, to their beautiful sitar music, their incredible clothing the food and their philosophy, I couldn't believe my ears listening to this guru shredding apart Greek culture not understanding anything of what the star pupil of Aristotle was all about. Never mind,. we invented Democracy, which means " Citizens Rule" and we always gave every citizen the right to say what he feels, but through debate. The above gentleman would have been silenced at the Agora after the first sentence he uttered by hundreds of ordinary citizens with reasoning arguments! But in today's Internet world anyone can say anything as clickbait, because millions are uneducated ,on purpose, so that they don't understand things that will free them from the yoke and make them free speaking CITIZENS. Alexander tried to educate people and get educated by them, he was seeking knowledge and he became Immortal because he was the hero of the people, I am a Spartan we never followed Alexander in his expeditions, but as a fellow Greek he made us proud for passing on the "Olympic Torch" to as many people as he could.

No one is immune to a moment's lack of understanding, i guess. To act like a Greek Historian when you're not, is worthy of sympathy.

Not only Indians, human beings are...
I am an Indian, this is Kalyug, we dont knw each other but still I am reading your comment on you tube. We all are amazing ❤️
This sounds exactly like the story of Alexander meeting Diogenes. It could be intriguing (historically, socially) if both stories are recorded in tradition.
Now the Yogi is in the museum
I came from schooling where spirituality was every day part of life, everything sadguru say is what Sadguru say is obvious and logical to me, but this one about becoming immortal is masterpiece.
Wow.. May I know which school? I'm interested to know
Have you become immortal?
Thank you for helping. Love, respect and gratitude. Amazing energy to you and to flow.
When I clicked on the link I could not imagine what a brilliant video it's going to be..................
Your such a lovely human being in this world, love listening to you ❤️
The crow was the Yogi who shape shifted, he simply hipnotized him for the sake of humanity.🙏🙏🙏
Ah ..is it so?
I believe that sadhguru have achieved everything in yogic world. So he must be able to shape shift too n teach lessons to idiots of this era.
Maybe he already does change his shape but doesn't tell us about those stories for some mysterious reasons.
😌😌
smoking weed????What type??
Alexander should have tied the Yogi to his horse and used him as his saddle, then go to the pool of water and make the Yogi drink it ! That would have been 'Great' for all of US!
@@termikesmike This Yogis are all about presenting themselfes as greater than others before them..They are just jealous,that's all...Nicely spoken Mike,liked that
So wonderful your thought is. Please accept my appreciation!!
What a wonderful explanation and knowledge of living.
For sure you can help many people out of mental illness.

It's insidious how everybody criticizes Alexander and most of our history these days, but then turns around and tries to culturally appropriate, steal, rewrite or erase our history.
The years will pass and I wonder who is going to remember this Sad Guru. I couldn't say the same for Alexander
You should worry more about who is going to remember you. You don't have to worry about who will remember the man who started a huge volunteer foundation. But the most ridiculous thing is you getting offended on behalf of some military commander from thousands of years back. What kind of weird kink are you nurturing !? 🤣
I am not the one who said that. Maybe learn to read and understand before commenting. I only replied in kind.
@@DEATH_3_GOD "Some military commander"... You mean the literal king of the world of the time; he conquered all of the known world by foot in 9 years; one of the greatest men to ever live. Undefeated.
When did Alexander conquered the world? Stop the bs. He mostly dominated in certain areas of Europe and his reputation mostly came from conquering Persia which was the most powerful empire at the time but they were already weakened and way past their prime. Alexander failed in India pretty badly. He fought and struggled at the border of India where the military presence wasn't very strong. He failed to go deeper into India then he retreated and died shortly after. lmao Ancient India was more powerful and wealthier than Ancient Greeks but Greeks are the only thing people talk about.@@condha1044

Don't forget the sadhguru only fans
Alexander united a few Greeks and destroyed the Persian empire all the way to India and freed the Persian occupied India stopping the Indian units in the Persian army from attacking the Greek city states.He also brought his Greek macedonian hat his Greek athenian arts statues and his Greek spartan martial arts- pancration- which Buddha used for strength and to defend,Buddha later brought it to China.Alexander was better than Great he was Fantastic he did it in 3 years and built the worlds greatest library in the city Alexandria he built in Egypt.He progressed the world.
Actually he utterly lost to king Purushottama, Alexander stopped in Afghanistan and when he died his chieftain celucus became the king of Afghanistan he never even came to India.
Alexandria library and information was taken from the Indus Valley.. Everything Greek has origins of Indian/ Indus Valley civilisation knowledge. Long before the Greeks thought they knew. it was already documented and practiced in Indus Civilization. Sorry Greeks !!. Earth diameter Earth distance from Sun. Value of Pi. Concept of binary math Concept of Zero. It just goes on...... And on and on....Namaste.
@@marthandavarma3314 yea except Alexander didn’t lose to Porus and Seleucus was the emperor of the Seleucid empire, not king of Afghanistan
I don’t think he was real
Buddha died around 480 BCE and Alexander born around 356 BCE....so how can Buddha learn martial art from Alexander
He is not great he is the greatest .his name cannot be erased from history of mankind.whatever he did great thing bad but great
The guy should compete in a story telling competition. I like the tone of his voice.
This story is also shown in the most wonderful serial a masterpiece Chanakya the old doordarshan one made by again the greatest Chandraprakash dwivedi most respect for bringing chanakya in our lives which we were unaware of earlier. Thanks
Yes
I remember that episode in 'Chanukya' serial. Even before I saw your comment it occurred to me. But I was not able to remember which serial.
Aristotle said once, " I don't mind if they whip me in the case I am absent."
What did he exactly mean by that? I can interpret that in several different ways.
Aristotle also instructed Alexander the Great to treat Greeks like a leader while the barbarians as a ruler. To take care and treat the first as family and friends whereas the second as animals and plants. How can a plant understand the greatness of Alexander and his achievements that only a few men in this planet managed to accomplish
@@vangelisrodis2977 To the WESTERN civilizations that idolized victory, military conquest and territory such as the Macedons, Romans, French, German, Spanish and the British, Alexander was a great and a hero. To the intelligent GREEK philosophers that valued knowledge, good arguments and good governance of Athens, he was a tyrant. And to the great sages of INDIA who valued humility, kindness and wisdom, he was an idiotic fool.
@@vangelisrodis2977 achievements as in warmongering ?
@@edwardkumarkenway1875 👍👍👌
I found a major flaw in your story @Sadhguru. If Alexander went into the cave alone then who told the story to everyone else? Surely not Alexander since he is portrayed by you as such a self righteous tyrant. Perhaps the bird was a stool pigeon. 🐦✌️❤️
Not suprised Hindis have trouble acknowledging Alexander’s greatness
I do he is literally great ❤

I just find it funny that they all understood each other’s languages upon meeting the first time and both parties are very demanding of each other lol
We had same way of Alexander's thirst in battle and his way to India. My idea was he was thirsty for a healer an inner healing as a spiritual but when he found enlightenment he cross the desert going back which took too much tool on his body temperature maybe he wants to go back to Egypt but didn't make it.
Such a poignant and timeless message, from the wellspring of wisdom, literally has tears flowing from my eyes.
Deepest gratitude to you, Sadhguru. Bless you, Sir.
Aloha...
From hawai??
Yes, tears !
R you Hawaiian
Glad to see you feel such an emotion over acquired piece of knowledge. Kudos
Well these message for mainly Xi
That narrative of Alexander looking for immortality does not match the report of Alexander fighting his battles in first line with his cavalry. Or Alexander exposing himself to deadly danger when fighting lions with spears with his friends in his leisure time. Also does not fit the Greek ideal of the Iliad and Odyssey that Alexander was said to know by heart. So this story does not hold water. But it seems to have been made up for a purpose, and that is what is interesting. What is there to gain for the one who spreads such a story? That tells much about his agenda.
Fighting lions with spears during his leisure time.. LOL What university did you attend?
Alexander was not Greek, his ancestors, the Macedonians, fought against the Hellenes and were allies with the Trojans.
@@magdalenasoluncheva6468 Again with this? All greeks today are not myceneans which were the ones who fought the trojans. Please read up history especially about the bronze age collapse

Yogi is still alive.. Sadhgurujee is that Yogi. The way he explained everything it looks like his personal account of memories.
Crow must be living too🤣🤣
@@andyran3735 Definitely from Kerala..
Nope
Lol..
There's no such thing as immortality
Knowing that the future is not promised makes us appreciate the now.
One small thing one needs to learn, at a given time frame in the world , values of that day and age are in reference and hold water . Similarly, the author may be called worse name in the future few centuries away. It would be pertinent, this was told to Alexander in his presence ..... Everyone loves his life without exceptions.
Though it's a mere invention I think it's a very wise and touching one, namely that Prof. Devassia in his "Kristubhagavatam" tells us that in Christs's time there came many Easterners to the Holy Land and brought knowledge of their wisdom to Joseph and the young Jesus ...
Not invention written in megasthenes indica
👍 Greetings & best wishes from your friend in New York, USA !
Alexander the great - greatness for his military expertise. He managed to come all the way from Macedonia to India.
Also before he came to India , there was very little information about India in the Greek world, they didn't even have proper maps of India. (I doubt they thought it to be a place of immortal people, though they did think it of as an essentric place)
Also his idea was to conquer the whole known world, and he imagined there to be sea/ocean beyond india. (As per the maps provided by Aristotle ).
This story told by Sadhguru seems to be fabricated and exaggerated. It is not mentioned in any reliable historical text.
It's a good story to make it easier to accept the fate of death though. But nothing more than that. (In my opinion).
Always inspired.... 🙏
