This podcast is one of the best within the Non-left ....The diversity of guests, topics, amd the way you carry out the conversation like an intimate chit-chat and profound learning session at the same time is unbelievable Arihant Bhai ❤❤❤
I get it brothers....I get what you are saying...I meant the Indic/Dharmic ecosystem but those are overarching terms..I wanted to emphasise specifically on the political aspect for which, in my limited knowledge there isn't any indigenous terminology. If there is any I am happy to being corrected...Peace✌🏽🙏🏽
Thanks you Arihant bhaiya for brining such gems to the podcast, I based my grade 12 sociology project this year on Structural and Cultural changes in Indian society due to Colonialism: Decolonizing India after reading J Sai Deepak Ji & Koenraad Elst Ji's book.

One thing you should keep in mind while interviewing Dr. Elst is that don't interrupt his thought process let him complete on one point and move to other.
Great podcast ❤, Dr. koenraad elst sir is a well known author. he has written so many books every indian should read his book. Still no trace of aryan invasion is a must read book for every indian. Thank you arihant ji for this podcast

Mahabharata is our cultural text but it is not our scripture. Is important to understand classification of texts in our faith. Smriti means that which is heard ie. From Brahman (God). Smriti means that which is remembered ie. History and literature written by man. Shruti is the English equivalent of scripture and Smriti is the English equivalent of a novel you buy from a book store. The only shruti text is The Vedas. However, there are numerous smriti written by all sorts of rishi's, guru's, etc. Namely, the Puranas, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavat Gita. The distinction was made because smriti's are the authors hypothesis or opinions. They're not fact. They may contain pieces of fact here and there but since it is not considered the word of Brahman it cannot be of equal authority as the Vedas. Smriti is the culture which is ever-changing whilst Shruti is everlasting dharma regardless of the yuga. Smriti documents perspectives in our culture in a certain given time but its also the authors opinion so there are millions of smriti just like theres so many TH-cam comments. Doesn't mean all are followed or agreed to be practiced by the society. Similarly Mahabharata is a commentary of our society during the time it was written and documents a historical event important for our society and people. Its a great text to learn what to do and not to do and it gets you thinking about dharma but to know what *is* dharma and what we are to practice per scripture then you'd only find that jn The Vedas. Hope this clears this up!
Thanks for the episode Vaad. One point I would like to make is that Guest is being interrupted many a times in between by the host. Please let him speak freely.
@@vamsikrishna3855 he was more of a grey persona rather than black or white and should be treated as such. Did you knew he fasted unto death to protest ambedkar’s demanad of separate electorates for dalits. Imagine the state of hinduism in todays india had that have happened. I m thankfull that he resisted. Om Shanti Gandhi
Gandhi ke brahmacharya prayog: By shankar Sharan can also give you shocking inf about this sanaki Baba he has almost destroyed him by solid facts based on his own Selected work of MG.
The Pauranic tradition is neglected in this conversion. Not everyone can read Ved, but Pauranic stories are accessible to all. Many of the festivals are in fact from Purana and not itihas. Take all the festivals for chaturmasya for example.

They may contain pieces of fact here and there but since it is not considered the word of Brahman it cannot be of equal authority as the Vedas. Nowadays everyone can read The Vedas. You don't have to join a gurukula and spend your whole life learning just one book. The fact is though that you will probably never grasp the meaning of just one book of The Vedas without proper instruction. It's like opening a physics book with no background knowledge and trying to learn. It can be done but it'll just be difficult. Also, festivals are culture. They're not the faith. That's why as you pointed out you find them in Puranas- a smriti text. Smriti is the culture which is ever-changing whilst Shruti is everlasting dharma regardless of the yuga. Hope this clears this up!
@@panjabipandit lmao. A valid study of the Veda is only possible after a life long study of Vedanga and Upaveda. Without that, one is left at the mercy of bad translations like those of Arya Samaj and TH Griffith.
Let's learn from the past, but we are living in the present. We are Hindus! Be proud to be a Hindu, we do Yoga ("Yuj Atman Brahman ca") and we seek Atma Darsana (Paramo Dharma).
If the most liberal of the religions/way of life can get diluted and abandoned by humans,,do you the think the "stricter"/ more orthodox doctrines/mono theism will survive for long? I don't think so..unless it is monetarily incentivized.
Shahaji was a mercenary for the Mughals. 1. Mercenary is an unusual term, he was a feudal vassal 2. Was he vassal to the Mughals? To the Nizamshahi and then Adilshahi is known, Mughals, could we have details please.
Swami Ramsukhdasji and Gita Press consistently spoke against abortion and contraception, and they did not even talk about demographic imbalance, they were against these pracitces for non-HIndus as well.
Dayanand Saraswatiji has found a new space especially on TH-cam which on a hidden surface has a problem with his idea of abandoning idol worshipping. Please make references to any book or historical record when you claim to quote someone.
Well.. I don’t understand why HINDUS are dependent on politicians, who are primarily are existing for votes. Be self dependent.. use your skills to promote Dharma..
I know the purpose of Vaad is different from what I am suggesting. But Vaad should think of now expand it's reach by reaching out to noble persons, heads of different sects of hinduism and discuss with them different aspects of hinduism rather say sanatan so as to instill in the people of their followings about the pride of being a sanatani, bharatiya first rather than identifying self from one's sect (more precisely "jaati"). The faster we do the better we will be to protect fast deteriorating hindu practices which have it's reason more so on to demonstrate self as more secularist than other. Sanatan by it's nature itself is secular one. Had it not been the case today's Bharat would have been different. One cannot expect this from school education because of the while lot of repressive provisions of constitution which were put with a long standing agenda of British and Islamists. Society and each sect per say should start teaching the cultural values to future generations along with the reason to perform particular ritual. In my understanding this is the best way to save our tradition from vanishing just like other traditions of the world lost/vanished.

What can I say in praise of what you have done for this civilization, Konrad, I have no words. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
No 1 quality podcast I have been following off late. Kudos to you young Arihant Bhai 👏👏
Wonderful session was this. Listened to it 2 times in a week 👏
Today he is with us teaching the nationalism lessons it is so blessed to have him in our college 🤗😊☺️
We should be so very grateful to Koenraad Elst 🙏
One thing you should keep in mind while interviewing Dr. Elst is that don't interrupt his thought process let him complete on one point and move to other.
Very enriching.. I wish we would have video recording sessions of SITA RAM GOEL ji in his life time like this...
By far the best channel on TH-cam ❤️
Its so easy, open and smooth to talk and listen Dr. Elst. Waah...beautiful

Great interview as always. You're making the standards of interviews very high. I now find many other videos so out of depth these days.

Before Britishers came in, hindus had knowledge of their scriptures like Mahabharat etc. This is reflected in poetry of all Bhakti saints

If I ever must keep a photo on my table or portrait behind as a statement it will be Koenraad Elst.
