He suffered from a disease which left his voice like that. He mentioned about it in one of the videos. He had a magnificent voice, I listened to his one of very old video lecture.
I think we have partial free will. Our will is conditioned by time, space, and causation. But we can always freely think within this framework. It is like a mango tree having similar features as other mango trees, but it is still unique in its own way. This partial freedom is always visible in nature.
Humans can have full control (100% free will) on only actions (karma), but not on karma phala (results), which are predetermined by one's own already performed actions (in past lives). There is great mis-understanding about karma, confusing karma and karma phala. Action produces result. Action is karma and result is karma phala (result of action). Good karma causes happiness, bad karmas cause difficulties. For every object (except humans) in duality result is immediate and controlled by all laws of nature. Only for humans, who is blessed/cursed with full freedom, it is not so. For humans, results of actions in this birth will show up only in future births. So for humans, in one birth actions and experienced results (karma phala) are not connected. They are completely separate and independent. Actions are caused by desire which are due to influence of vasanas (knowledge of experiences). Humans, having full freedom, capacity to choose, has capacity to control actions, by controlling desires, by controlling vasanas. Ofcourse it can be achieved only by practice. A person can lift small weight of few kgs or a heavy weight of 200+ kgs, through regular practice and determination. Depending on motive, the controlled action can cause good karma or bad karma. But, humans has completely no control on karma phala, which is effect of already caused action (in past births). It is like arrow already shot. It is caused by one's own desired action already performed. So Karma phala has to be experienced, no way to escape. A person through regular practice after attaining lifting capacity to 200+ kgs, may or may not succeed in a fight. The success in a fight is solely depends on one's past karma (good or bad). Humans live for two reasons - firstly to experience karma phala (results) caused by actions in past births and secondly to perform actions through freewill. If one doesn't perform actions through freewill using given freedom , then one will be made to perform actions as a slave. One who intelligently and selectively choose and perform actions which are good for oneself and for everyone is truly the wisest. That is why Krishna says in Gita :- Karmanye-eva-adhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani. You have the right on actions only but never on its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.
At least from an individual perspective there can be no free will, or it might appear that one has free will but on review the action was determined by a host of factors. As Ramana wrote to his mother who came to collect him.. "The Ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their past deeds - their prarabdha karma. Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try hard how you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to stop it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is for one to be silent" And from the pov of the Self there is no doership at all,, so how does destiny or free will pertain to the Self, it doesn't and therefore nor does karma. So the concept of free will and destiny only pertain to individuals and individual karma. People seem extremely wedded to the concept of free will, but really the main delusional attachment is to being an individual.
Any cursory reading of the Bhagavad Gita would reveal that, its pointless to pursue happiness, success etc., that is one half of the dualities... So why bother about all this fatalism? All this nonsense only occupies those who wish to be happy, successful etc etc
What is wrong with his voice?
Listen to his other videos....same voice but extraordinary knowledge....😊😊
He suffered from a disease which left his voice like that. He mentioned about it in one of the videos. He had a magnificent voice, I listened to his one of very old video lecture.
Spasmotic disphonia
@@pranavbiraris3426 yes.
Nothing, it have its own class.
Dont compare it on ur parameter
Yes , there is merit in this. Even Dr. Spolsky says this. He wrote a book called “ Determined”
That definitely is a good book. I like Sapolsky's humour and his cool old man personality.
nice brother.... keep uploading
it pops in my recommendation out of blue....
Maybe bcz this was determined 🙃
OR NOT

Freewill is widely contested, but no one has rejected it at the expense of accepting the human sensorium.

Humans can have full control (100% free will) on only actions (karma), but not on karma phala (results), which are predetermined by one's own already performed actions (in past lives).
There is great mis-understanding about karma, confusing karma and karma phala.
Action produces result.
Action is karma and result is karma phala (result of action).
Good karma causes happiness, bad karmas cause difficulties.
For every object (except humans) in duality result is immediate and controlled by all laws of nature.
Only for humans, who is blessed/cursed with full freedom, it is not so.
For humans, results of actions in this birth will show up only in future births. So for humans, in one birth actions and experienced results (karma phala) are not connected.
They are completely separate and independent.
Actions are caused by desire which are due to influence of vasanas (knowledge of experiences). Humans, having full freedom, capacity to choose, has capacity to control actions, by controlling desires, by controlling vasanas. Ofcourse it can be achieved only by practice.
A person can lift small weight of few kgs or a heavy weight of 200+ kgs, through regular practice and determination.
Depending on motive, the controlled action can cause good karma or bad karma.
But, humans has completely no control on karma phala, which is effect of already caused action (in past births). It is like arrow already shot. It is caused by one's own desired action already performed. So Karma phala has to be experienced, no way to escape.

Anyone know where the rest of the talk is? Where he refutes all this?
i have linked the original full lecture in description.
If I ask him if he would like vanilla or chocolate, what will he say?
Strawberry of course
Where can we see more video of this prof
I have linked the original video in description. You can search "Arindam Chakrabarti" to find his other videos.
Does Arindam Chakrabarti say everything is pre-determined!?@@dpbianism
None of the arguments stand for scrutiny even from set theory. There is no setness in set theory.
A. Kanthamani
Set theory does not stand its own argument. It's a well-known paradox called the Russell's Paradox. So is set theory fundamental? Idk
Why does he wear a wristwatch?
To keep track of time?

Wishing to be happy is the sole purpose of human existence. Everything you do is the result of you wanting to be happy.
Informative, however he seems to be running out of breath.
Poor arguments, pointless and shallow
